You Call Yourself King of the Jungle?

It was review frenzy when I checked my two workshopped pieces last night. Curiosity had an extra one, and The Well had an extra two (after sitting on the horror'shop with one for almost three weeks). I like getting reviews, it feels more like I'm not wasting my time at this.

What I like even more, however, is when they start with:

Professionalism of writing:5

Setting:5

Character development:5

Plot credibility/suspense:5

Dialogue:5

Overall rating:5

Of course, the guy was probably drunk, and it confirms my attitude towards the scoring system (being it doesn't work, it is completely misleading and it varies hugely on individual perspective) but it's still nice to see :) I've definitely got something to work with.

Today: 550 extra words added to Dearest . . .
