I thought that everybody gave really good feedback. Some
things that people said I didn’t take into account because I personally did not
see the problem. As everyone was reading me their feedback I would write down
what I liked and just avoid what I didn’t. For instance, someone mentioned that
they did not like the prologue and did not think it was necessary. I disagree;
I like the prologue and thought that it gave a nice setting to the story. It is
supposed to be Janey older and looking back on her life and then the chapter is
where her life story begins. Another point someone made was that the parents
got into drugs to quickly, which I could see that. I will definitely take that
into account and go into more detail on why and how the parents got into drugs.
Everyone had at least one valid point in their feedback and I went through and
changed all that I thought needed to be. Hearing the feedback opened my mind to
what others want from the story and helped me to improve my story tremendously.
I will continue to edit my story and try to make it better and better. I will
be submitting this story for my second workshop in creative writing. All I can
hope for is that I hit the parts that everyone thought need work on and
everyone is pleased with my story the second go around!!!
