I am hoping to become a freelance writer and plan to start a novel shortly.  I am studying with the Writers Bureau to help with any grammar or style problems.  I am not a published writer, but hope for a publication before the end of the year in People’s Friend.

Version 2

Sunrise Angela dabs her eyes but the tears continue. She sits in the toilet cubical staring at the grey wooden cage.

Short Story / Syrup Season
I liked it. Grammatically it is very strong. I liked the ending but I think the opening paragraph could need more atmosphere to hook the reader.

Short Story / I'd Like to Buy a Life

Details should not provided in a list format i.e. Black jeans, sweater and knee length coat wrapped her slight figure in warmth.
