I received some lovely feedback from my peers on this piece. I was recommended to focus on the middle section of this piece, which was not nearly as developed as it is now! Hope you enjoy.

I wanted to keep this piece short, but I still felt like something was missing. Hearing other people’s feedback at the Writers Guild meeting helped me reflect on my writing and figure out what my next steps should be.

“Isabel provided feedback that helped me weave a simple metaphor at the start of my story into the rest of it. This was the first creative piece that I sent to the Writing Center, and I think I will start to send more creative work to the tutors.”

“In my own experience, I’ve had editors who trample on writers’ ideas and voices, but the advisors that I worked with at the Writing Center were more than respectful and encouraging.”

“The process of writing a cohesive piece means a lot of self control and understanding that stepping back from the words you grow attached to allows you to understand more what needs to be said. I have been very invested in self growth as a concept, but very hesitant to fully immerse myself in the process. These two pieces are documentation of that journey.”

“I have always thought that the Writing Center is a wonderful resource for writers to share their work. There are so many peers and advisors who are eager to read, revise, and encourage fellow writers.”
