Greetings, Annette! I am reviewing this because I am part of "Merit Badge Exchange" . First of all, my reviews are intended to be helpful and encouraging, not hurtful in any way. Use what you feel works for you, and leave the rest. What I Liked Let's start with your title: Annette in Wonderland. This is a great choice! I'm intrigued with titles and am always surprised by some other authors' lack of interest in their title. To me, a title is very important...a door into their story (or perhaps a rabbit hole .) I was impressed by your reasons to participate in this challenge along with what you hoped to gain from it. I know for a fact you've been immersed in I Write for years and that not only filled up your time to an extent, but seized your creativity. You did such a wonderful job, but needed to step away. And what a great way to emerge back into the writing world! Nonsense writing is a great exercise! You mentioned comfort zones. I take refuge too often inside the box also, and to step outside sometimes feel so liberating! It's that first toe-dip in the water that's the hardest. Welcome back to the creative writing adventure, Annette in Wonderland! Suggestions to Consider I have nothing to suggest. Final Thoughts Your trip to Istanbul with your mother must've been quite an adventure at nine years-old! And what an unforgettable companion you embraced—Alice in Wonderland. Something you will never forget. One of my favorite books at that age was The Secret Garden and I shall never forget it. Thank you for sharing this wonderful entry. I feel honored to have been the next in line to review this in I Write 2021! Have a great day and... K e e p on W r i t i n g ! Cubby ")
