[stylist] Flash fiction

[Bridgit Pollpeter via stylist]

Jackie,

Never feel stupid for your interpretations and comments. You interpreted
a story one way, and there's nothing wrong if it's different than what
the author intended. It doesn't make your comments wrong or unnecessary.
I've often misinterpreted a story or worse, not understood it at all,
but I processed it one way, and it's good for an author to hear all and
any feedback. And this is also why open, honest discussions are great
because it brings fresh perspective and light on a subject. I've gone
into a discussion with a firm opinion, but after sharing thoughts and
opinions with others, I've found new meaning or re-shaped my opinions.
Nothing wrong with this.

Bridgit

Atty,
I re-read your story, E-Girl, and I am embarrassed that I did not
realize that Carly was not herself an E-girl. I think what confused me
was the title and the first paragraph and the premise that it set up in
my mind. The later parts do support that she might not be. Having the
E-cat also made me thing that as an E-girl, she would want an E-cat. 
It makes me feel stupid to have been so far off in my interpretation.
The value of trying to critique something is what we learn about other
writers and about ourselves. Thanks for responding. Jackie

Hi all, here is my try at flash fiction. I am going to submit it to
Daily Science fiction. I belong to their list and enjoy the little
scenes they post.

I hope the attachment works.

Atty
