What's your favourite review/best piece of feedback you've received?
I have three that I was able to narrow it down to.
The first is for a story that's on hold till I rework it. I got it from Julie on my story "Born To Be".
Interesting start! I like it so far... and I'm anxious to read more! I like your use of description and the way you word things, especially in the prologue. Just watch your tenses... you tend to switch tenses, even in mid-sentence, and it takes away from the flow of the writing. But going back to the descriptions, I like the two suns and the purple grass and the blue leaves and everything... how it all mimicks our world, but surreal and just "off."
I like it so much cause it's what really brought my old tense issues to my attention. It's what helped me change my writing cause she was awesome enough to tell me but in a nice way. So because I feel my writing grew a lot at that moment, it's one of my faves lol.
The other two that as I'm looking through to answer this question are from RMTW. (Yeah I can only narrow it down to three LOL).

Girl, I am so impressed with each chapter I read. I can't wait for more. You're writing is reminiscent of a few of the greats from the "glory days"...which is what initially invited me into the world of fanfic. I get lost with each paragraph I read, seriously. You're so inside his head and the words are so vivid. I felt like I was right along side him as he went through the motions. Very curious as to what you have in store. Good fucking work, woman!
This made me smile big because I remember what it was like in the "glory days" of fanfic and how much I looked up to the old school writers back in the day. So this was just a huge compliment and I remembered it enough to try and find it LOL.

I was so excited to get through work today to read the next chapter, and I have to say, I love it! I love the relationship between Nick and Brian, and the slight jump into the future. The imagery is amazing, I love it! Question, have you ever considered writing professionally?
It's short but the fact she asked if I ever considered writing professionally is just huge! Hearing that, is just something that flatters me to the point I never know how to quite answer lol. I mean obviously the answer is yes but it just feels amazing to have it confirmed like that.
