Thanks so much for the kind words for "Traffic." I never even thought about reading my poetry out loud. It is an intersting thought. Thanks again!
I'm so glad you liked my story. I do it for the smiles 
THANKS SO MUCH FOR ALL OF THE CRITIQUES ON SAINT ANNE! I really appreciate the help of the scribophile community!
You ask the question somewhere about how to change your story name from Ch 3. Move all your chapters out of the story so that they are individulal works. Then delete the story and remake it, them replace the chapters.
Thank you for the critique and for continuing to follow the story. Your thoughts are going to be very helpful when it's time to edit!
Thanks much for the critique. You made good points and will be thinking on them as I edit next week,
Thanks for the critique! I definitely did not describe the party enough. I'm still working it out. And thanks for becoming a fan! (Such a silly word: fan. Makes me feel like a Backstreet Boy)
Thank you for your helpful critique on my intros! I'll respond in more depth on there, but I really appreciate the input.
Hey there, welcome and have fun on the site!
