I'm merely a reader, not a writer, who happens to be female & old enough to know better.

I will make every effort to leave a comment, even if it's just to say 'good chapter' & if there is criticism, I hope to offer it in a constructive way. And, if I can't say anything nice, I won't say anything at all. I'm sure those who post their work will offer better advice than I, & it be received more easily than that offered by someone who only reads.

I admire those people who bare their souls on a regular basis, putting their work on here to be scrutinised, & must say that there are some truly talented people on this site. And kudos to those writers who offer up their stories in a language which is not their mother tongue, that takes determination & a real willingness to take on a challenge.
