tanaiseWell, I had my meeting with Terry today. It went really pretty well. I suppose it helped that I *didn't* think this was my best piece or even remotely my best piece. It was fine, it was cute, and people liked it, but there was nothing all that outstanding about it. My twist isn't much of a twist, my characters need a little more to help them stand out, and some of the choices they made weren't all that obvious and need more to make sense.
Terry basically said that I need to put more detail into my stories. I do a good job with what I have in the story, but I need more. I need to give people more of an idea of the strangeness of the girl, and things like that. I've been thinking I explain too much stuff
I also took the easy way out of a couple issues--the change and such--and I should make them more complicated. between thinking about it and talking about it with him, I have a number of ideas of how to handle some of the problems I had with it.
OKay, my story: well, on one level it tanked. but on a couple others, it did really well--*everyone* had problems with it, but most of them should be easily solvable.
