I'd be happy to have one or two objective readers who comment. Unfortunately, too often a circle of "friends" makes for rather meaningless pats on the back. But, I do hope you find a critique buddy group anyway - it is a start! My latest project doesn't meet your criteria, I'm afraid /-; but I have done some things for the challenges that might. As to the comments, a simple "I liked it" might be just the encouragement someone needs. Lol, I once wrote an editorial and a reader wrote a comment twice as long as my write, haha. ?Where is he now?
