      Hello! I was wondering if anyone would like to read over a little short story I wrote for a Christmas contest. (The criteria for the contest are: “anything Christmasy” and “under 800 words.”) This story is about 600 words. This is the link (I’m not sure if it would all fit in this text box): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1B0-tYspZd5NDCmeDdp6C8OwCJNFSXMF7Yap__-swMgY/edit

      Thanks to anyone who reads it in advance 🙂

        @sleepwalkingmk *grins ear to ear* This is so sweet!! Let’s see… I like how you set the scene, but I also think you should spend more time talking about what the narrator is thinking. It’s a little idle right now, talking mostly about the things going on around her. It’s still awesome though! Also, “a while” is one word: “awhile.” 🙂

        Nice job!! 😉

        You can pronounce it however you want.

          @sleepwalkingmk I like it. I actually enjoy the stillness of it. 👍

                @sleepwalkingmk  *wipes away happy Christmas tears*   This is adorable and heartwarming.  I literally had one suggestion.  (Btw, I am “Anonymous” on the document.)  Brilliant work!  🙂
