Earlier this year I posted (over 14 different posts) a piece of Star Wars fan fiction that I had written. I prefaced each post with a request for constructive criticism.
Only one person did so, and I’d like to thank her.
Elyse over at Fifty-four and a Half provided me with some very good feedback and some very helpful suggestions. About halfway through writing the story I focused more and more on finishing it and told myself I would look over her suggestions later, and I have finally done that (I’ll procrastinate later) and made almost all of the corrections she suggested because, hey, she’s a brilliant writer and I’d be dumb not to take her advice.
So I just wanted to publicly say thank you to Elyse and let her know how much I appreciated her efforts. She follows roughly 30 or more blogs and still found time to not only read my crap, but then play editor with it as well and it meant very much to me.
So thank you, Elyse, for your time and efforts. They were very much appreciated.
Why thank you TwinDaddy. I enjoyed reading your work very much. I love Star Wars and your stories — well, it’s really one story, isn’t it — works well into the familiar framework. And your story is fun.
Next stop, George Lucas’ desk!
Keep going man. Write the impossible!
