Your item came up in "Read & Review" . . . and since I'm reviewing things this evening because reviewing is a requirement to move forward in an activity I'm involved in. As a newbie to this site, reviewing is a major stumbling block for me. In fact, for the past hour I've been in panic mode with my heart pumping etc. (panic attack) because reviewing terrifies me so much. I've already had several bad experiences with reviews - not because I'm being rude or anything - but because I'm either not detailed enough (like they want me to do their editing for them?) or for being too detailed (like they just wanted to hear they did a great job). So, your item has appeared in front of me like a magic pill to cure my panic attack. Reading it has calmed me significantly! Thanks for writing such a great piece! In the couple dozen reviews I've done, I haven't actually 'reiterated the story' in the review but had it done to one of my stories and it was awesome and really helpful (he's a pro-reviewer in my books!). So besides my rambling above, here's my technical review of your piece: It's absolutely perfect - don't change a thing!! If there's a reviewing handbook anywhere on this site, your piece belongs in it. Thanks for all you do, and for somehow magically putting this piece in front of me when I needed it the most!
