  2. Critism: (My own definition based on this series) It is a way of telling someone what he/she didn't do right and saying it in such a way that'll make someone better.
    Now, comino what you wrote. I just read a few lines, it seems interesting but I couldn't finish it. What attracts people most in a body of work is seeing spaces (breaks, paragraphs). Because it acts as a resting point. I couldn't read to the end because I felt that this is a maraton and giving up in the middle of the race is lame. So I'd rather not join in at all. I'll love to read more of your posts but I'll love it to have breaks. Please, don't take it that I insulted you or that I wanted to bring you down or maybe fall your morale. Just be better and more viewers will flood in. ***hugs***
