"It`s very interesting to learn about Oscar. I liked the opening and your description of how you first saw him. I did become a bit confused after that as to whether he was speaking or you, also initially you refer to your notes and I wondered what you meant. I think much of the problem is speech marks and punctuation, this is something I have great difficulty with myself. I have found free online help with this, thanks to others pointing out the problem to me. If you email me I will give you the website. Hope this advice helps, and regards to Oscar! writeogden@aol.com" -- Wendy, Kent, UK.
