You know I think you should revisit the story. There is a good story in there that is begging be let out. My offer always stands.

Thank you. As I said to @TheRedLantern, if I ever decide to pull the story off the shelf, I have your feedback and will reach out.

We worked OK on Gypsy Lake (which has a great premise). I’ve got an edit / beta backlog, but - maybe when some time has passed - we can take a look at it again.

Once more ideas are much less common than writing proficiency, much of which is practice. You can do this.

Thank you for the offer. Let's see if the story ever leaves the shelf

@EmilyMiller, thank you for the encouragements.

Coming in late here. Sorry.

Brandon Sanderson wrote a dozen or more unpublishable novels before he sold one. He has said in his advice for writers: be willing to write bad stories, to learn how to write better ones.

Accept that you need to get better. Write anyway.

Two things. Two and a half.

One: posts like this are complex. The answer is a simple “don’t be so sensitive”, but we all know saying “don’t be so sensitive” will do no good. Nonetheless, don’t be so sensitive.

Two: you eventually made yourself clear, so you’ve absolved yourself and apologized enough, for seeming to have been blaming your volunteer editors.

Two and a half: nonetheless, you could lightly edit post number 1 (I recommend via strike through, not wholesale changes. Just to make further misunderstandings less likely.)
