New England Run Feedback
Posted: Mon Mar 08, 2004 7:09 am
Firstly, I'm glad to see this story being posted again. I enjoyed it first time round, and I've since forgotten most of it, so it's good to have it available.
What kind of feedback are you looking for on this one? I'd guess you're not keen on rewriting huge swathes of it, given it's age. I notice you're making small edits as you repost it, I'd only suggest there are still a few typos, errors etc lurking in there, if you want to polish it completely.
I notice you say you've gone off first person writing, why is that? I'm not using it myself currently, but it's a good way to tell a tale, particularly one that doesn't need to show the reader what's going on outside of the main character's experience. There's an element of self-consciousness with it (one reason I never wrote about my own persona except that one short, short story), but I enjoy reading Redline Fox's adventures from "the man himself". Particularly with the theme of personal growth and discovery running through stories like this, first person is a good way to connect with the reader.
Just some thoughts to get the discussion rolling.
