I want to give my Q3 entry (it got an HM) a good polish and improve it. It's a story I absolutely love that brings a smile to my face every time I read it. It makes me happy, so I feel I need to get it a more rigorous critique.
It's slightly less that 5500 words.
Honestly, I know it can be better, but I've hit the limit of what I can do without some feedback.
I'll happily give a critique in exchange.
Thank you.

It'll probably be a week and a half before I can read it, but feel free to send it to me whenever you feel is most helpful; after you've edited based on other critiques or your current manuscript. I'm planning to work on my Q2 HM, so maybe that'll be a good one to swap!

Okay. I'll wait until I hear results and then make some adjustments.

You might want to try a private message, instead. The forum doesn't seem to be passing on E-Mails sent through it at the moment.
It'll be a while before I can hand the story to a third person, though. AlexH is the one that's currently working on a critique. After that I'll want some time for revisions, based on his input.

I'm pretty much feeling like my story is ready for the contest once more, at this point. I just need to make some minor line edits. I'm also starting a new job in the next few days, so my time will be a bit short for potentially the next few weeks. Sorry.
