Well, I've submitted Apprentice to the Writers Group. So far, only one person besides me has read it. The version I submitted is the result of incorporating her observations/concerns/ suggestions into the actual story. The story did improve considerably - as well reduce in size.
I am nervous over how the story will be received, but far less so than immediately after I wrote it. [grin] It's actually tempting to put it before Evil Editor's Minions, but I don't believe they do short stories. Besides, I would only submit the first 215 words. Some of the Minions not only write incredibly well, but they have wild and vivid imaginations, as well as satirical prowess. Could Kiahva take the sarcasm she would be sure to suffer? Don't know.
The next meeting isn't until February 10th, so I won't know how Apprentice has been received for a few weeks. I need to try not an think about it.
Right.

Good luck with it, Bevie.
Thanks, Fairy.
Sorry for the delay in publishing your comment. Been having major computer problems today.
I'm sorry to hear that.
I'm blaming it on my provider. They "upgraded" their software this month, and since then my system runs slower than I do.
Oh, well. At least I can still access, right?
