Hey, guys! So, I’m working on this Cinderella retelling and I’d love to know your thoughts on these two scenes, my tentative opening scene and a glassblowing scene. Here’s the link and thanks so much!

Working Title: The Ugly Stepsister

Word Count: 3,172

Critique: I’m really struggling with the glassblowing scene, especially. Is it too long? Is it too boring? How do I make it more intriguing and still keep the unique process? I need the setup with their relationship and his profession for later, but I just feel like this drags. Is it difficult to follow/visualize? Should I consolidate the process just for clarity/pacing’s sake (as opposed to describing it in such detail, which is more accurate)? What suggestions do you have for this scene?

Any other comments are most welcome!!!
