Yay! I completed the ritual of walking into school, handing my teacher a bunch of flowers for being glued to her email inbox and mobile phone for the last few days handling my stress, picked out a bleak blue colour for my cover and I'm DONE!!

Notes from the marking center state "The word limit should be achieved and adhered to". Thus, the absolute minium words is 6,000. Otherwise it's going to reflect badly on you. You have a 2,000 word bracket, you have to be in it somewhere.

Thanks everyone, and Tal especially for all the feedback. The stuff you talked about with it being actionless were picked up by my teachers and I as well, so I'm working on incorporating the story back into an earlier draft and fixing up that middle section. Gonna end up with some of the fantasy...

Wow, goodluck getting it done! I'm still in my trials too, so theres extra stress unfortunately, but I am confident I will get it done.

I'm trying to make the husband a deeper character, and move away from the mopey emotional stuff by adding contrasting segments of memories or dreams. I'm also not sure whether to leave the ending as it is. Also, the catalysts you mentioned between the chapters is something to think about...

It's due Friday, but my previous story wasn't finished either.

Very true. ^___^

Thank you, everyone who commented. Tal, much of what you said is what I'm struggling with a little myself, so that was really helpful. I'm trying to work in some contrasting segments to break up the doom and gloom emotional stuff. But actually, the piece is more about grief itself rather than...

Thanks for the feedback. My Reflection needs work as I haven't done much to correct it to my new genre/plot/everything. x.x Hence my rush to get the piece finished. But I'm hopeful for getting it all done nicely.

Actually, it's about 4,800 so getting close. ^^

Heya guys. Okay, so, I wrote my major work originally as a sort of speculative fiction in the vein of Alice in Wonderland, with sections from the real world and sections in a fantasy world. It dealt with death, but particularly grieving. People didn't respond very well to the work as it stood...

I can't understand why Speculative Fiction is so unpopular? We're doing Dune, The Handmaid's Tale and Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, and it is AWESOME.
