[stylist] Comments on Torn Fragments: From and Beyond the Hospital Bed

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Jackie,

Mine is but one opinion, but I'm happy to oblige when I can. You don't
necessarily have to "follow" my style of diction, but I felt your piece
could use more descriptive language, and since you have so many specific
moments, you could expand upon them developing a few scenes between the
narration. Again, just my thoughts, and I do enjoy your writing.

Sincerely,
Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter

Bridget,
Your critique is excellent, pinpointing areas that somehow I knew were
just narrative, and not in the least poetic.  Re-reading your piece, I
understand in a better way what you are suggesting. Many of your
critiques talked of your lyricism. I guess that means the language. I
will use your comments as a road map not only in this Prologue, but in
many of the pieces that follow. I thank you for the time you took.
Sincerely, Jackie
