Here is my response, Jody. Sorry this was late. I am having some trouble with the links to the text, to posting,etc. a steep learning curve, I am afraid. Thank you for your patience with my responses. all my best, Vijaya

Jody—I love what you are playing with here. I like the dialog between the storyteller (who is the person shot—she’s telling her own story) and the editor. I would, however, not let that form stop you from . . . diving in and making the pieces on which the editor is commenting brilliant, scene and character driven hooks for your opening, along with quirky, voice-driven bits that cause the comments. You sort of have to do both to win the day here. But I know you can! Pick the very best—not the introduction of the first sentence, but the hilarious parenthetical asides, etc.) Tell us (in the forum) more about your thoughts regarding form. I’m intrigued . . .

 

 

Warmly,

Elizabeth
