Default I read it, Sheela !

Dear Sheela,
Your story is beautiful & shows you as a sensitive person. The theme is very simple & you have played aound with words beautifully.
The end is a little far-fetched ! So what - it makes nice reading & I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
Love &regards,
Chithra.

Default Gripping Narrative and A Wonderful End!

Dear Sushdevi,
I read your story with interest. A very touching as well as a gripping narration. Well, to be frank, I guessed the end. Because half way through I had a feeling that I was writing this story and thought fast how would I end that. Your end is good. Yes, it is unrealistic. Very few women would prefer to stay back from their children and grand childrend for a little bird. But we as writers are to concern ourselves with those special characters who will do that.
The story shows you as a soft and sensitive portion. Good work.
I have a suggestion for you, though. When you post a story in a website, divide it into a number of small paragraphs leaving some gaps between each para. That way it will be easy to read it.
You may adopt it even if you are sending your stories to mags. Because often stories get rejected for things like poor formatting.
I wish you all the best. You will surely grow into a good writer. Keep writing.
Varalotti
