Hi everybody,
I’m Sally Daniels. Well not really. But that’s my nom de plume. There is a quote that says something like, “it is the person who wakes up every morning to write that becomes a writer. Those who do not do this remain amateurs.”
I kind of work the other way around….write every night. Mostly journal entries that lead into other things – song lyrics, tidbits of wisdom, a kids story, a monologue…etc.
I was lucky to find a mentor a long time ago who recommended some good books on what good writing is, he helped me a lot. Favorite writer all around is probably Oscar Wilde (since he does everything) or Blake Schwarzenbach for song lyrics.
They say that “the best way to get good ideas is to get a lot of idea…

I cant really tell the age of the writer here...if this is middle school or young level reading, it would be a good excerpt from a book, if you honed in editing and were able to separate the character divides. I would also like to see some dialog in this.
Partially I am biased as my own father passed away recently and it is not so pleasurable to read through, but I did get through and liked the beginning, and the end lines about dad in a bag. I have dad in a box. I would strongly suggest editing in such a way that your strong points hit like bullets in a list. An english teacher once told me, "No banter! No fluff!" - it is a careful art to whittle down things that could be true but it is a painstaking task that you have to endure. If it is fil...
Good line. Secondary chapter. There are many people who fear normalcy and fear average and to touch upon this delicate subject is good. Character depth though. Perhaps you could expand on an exercise you may go through to help your characters find depth. Open us up to your world. Who are your characters, do you make them up, are they real, etc.
Oh, you got me with philosophical meanderings about...what? Going to the bathroom. You had me through the first paragraph, then I realized, I spent two minutes reading about...bout something we do every day. So kudos to you for keeping me interested for that long. You mispelled here: "He wondered if this lady wasn’t loosing it" (losing it) and I would probably put front entrance insteady of lobby/front entrance since it is not common to see the slash in formal short stories. Otherwise good job.
This is simply put, well put, and acts as the secret voice that so few are willing to let out. A lot of people go through the sam ething but never have the courage to write it down so plainly, without being surrounded by fluffy analogies. So I commend you for the "anti-fluff" in this real communication from the heart. Well done.
