sorry for my delayed response here. this forum is for the sharing of any type of creative writing without fear. there are no guidelines or rules. if you dont want feedback on your writing just include that in your subject line when you post (just sharing-no feedback please). i have noticed that some people may seem to come off a bit blunt in their feedback (on every forum)and sometimes that is hard to swallow but that doesnt mean that their feedback is any less relevant or useful. take from it what you will or nothing at all. that is your choice as the writer. the beauty of writing (IMHO)is the interpretation of the reader, and that would mean any opinion is a good one. when it comes down to it the writer has the final say so we should all be grateful that someone is reading our work and having any reaction at all. remember, writing is supposed to envoke emotion and thought. i would encourage everyone to post and keep in mind that feedback is only a suggestion...keep or sweep!
