Hi,

My name is Nick Louis. I've posted a short story on ABCtales entitled "Stomach Wrenching Sound" in order to get some feedback about my style. To this date, I've recieved no feedback.

I would really appreciate any bit of info you can pass on.

PS I would ask this of the editors. What are your guidelines for "cherry picked" items?

In stories, I'm looking for something that makes me blink. A bit of deft characterisation, a piece of writing that is charged with real emotion, a description that is vivid and new, a plot that intrigues me, dialogue that crackles and is true to life. Not necessarily all in the same piece - the cherried stories just have something that lift them from the "okay" or "good" pile and into the, "If I had to read that again, right now, I'd be okay with that" pile.

Also, if you want more direct feedback, email Emily with a list of the stories you'd like to have discussed. And yes, for those of you who noticed I was absent during a prolonged move, I'm back! Stan
