    Per request, I have updated the Scene Questions below to include Rose’s suggestion (@rose-colored-fancy) …

    May I humbly suggest adding a question to the critique questions? When I’ve let others read a piece, it has always helped me a lot to ask what part/element they noticed or liked the most.  The answer has always surprised me and it’s very interesting to see what stands out the most about your piece from an outsider’s perspective.

    …AND I have added one additional question that goes to the value of this fun exercise. 😎  12 Disciples – 12 Tribes of Israel – 12 Gates in the Heavenly City – 12 – Eggs in a Dozen… (Okay, I’ll admit I got carried away with this last one 😜)…Why shouldn’t there be a full dozen questions?

    5. Which of the following, as a reader, do you wish I had developed more fully in this scene?

    a. Setting
