"Stormy, your story was incredibly told, detailed and very realistic. I could see your pain. I'm having a tough time putting into words how it made me feel. I just wanted to take that little girl away and protect her forever. As a mother of two little girls I can say that I will never and have never ignored my children and I would never let them slip away from me like that. Stormy, you are a very talented writer and I am so impressed with your style, while simple, so profound and moving. You need to try to get this published. I am so looking forward to reading more from you. Please check out my work: search karen michelle robertson" -- Karen, USA.
"Good job stormy. I am a young writer myself and always enjoy frank bare bones critisms. So here goes. The young girl in your story, after just taking the first sip of the first beer of her life proclaims that beer makes her pee a lot. How would she know about this aspect of the amber demon, if she had never before experienced it's charms? Too much use of the word "I" and not enough bold statement. I noticed that you did use bolder statements, but only at the end of the sections within your story and they worked well there. Finally the aspect and intentions of an old drunk feeding beer to a little girl are obvious to me in my cynical mind, but opaque in your story. People care about what people think, it's the backbone of every story, especially in first person. However it should still come into the context of the tale instaed of the other way around. After you took a left turn away from Mr. Williams and spiraled into alchocolism you left me wondering what happened to him and why was there no conflict dealing with his child abuse. Just a couple comments to help if I can. Bodah - Bodah_1@hotmail.com" -- Ben .
