I love the idea of things hidden below the surface. Of mysterious buried treasures, and ways to implant certain words or innuendos that have either a dual meaning or are indicative of an even larger mystery lurking beneath the surface action of the story.

Ouch. That sounds really bad. My brother’s are having the same issue.
CONGRATS!!!!!! What genre is it? And, btw, what is the editing process like?

Thanks! I’ve never liked/been good at grammar:) It’s going to be the death of me someday! I definitely need grammar help 😂 I usually don’t get upset when I get critiques, so no worries here. I’d rather you say something then keep it to yourself anyway;)

Same here!!
Yay, I’m so glad! Thank you SO much for letting me read it! It was wonderful.

That’s awesome!! Have you ever finished a novel? (I assume you meant novels by lots of Fantasy? Or am I misunderstanding 😛 ?)
Hmm. I suppose it depends on what genre your short story is. If it is Fantasy, Historical Fiction, Contemporary Fiction, Romance, Sci-fi, or any of the other genres on here, just post it on one of them and I…[Read more] -
