Hunter,
You are doing a great job with GEAR UP! I just met one of your workers,
Milton, who came by for some advice for proposal writing for one of his
classes.
I am sorry that I have yet to provide you with a critique of your story :-(
I have been studying hard for my comprehensive exams and time seems to keep
getting away from me! I promise, after November 3rd, I will provide you
with written comments (I have read the story, enjoyed it, especially
enjoyed the tension you developed between the husband and wife, but haven't
done the detailed re-reading and re-reading that I do when I critique).
Then, hopefully I'll be inspired to start writing again (comps have put a
damper on things for a while) and can get some feedback from you, too.
Keep up the good work. I hope you have had a great summer!
Jennifer
