“Not dead yet!”
Oh, lovely GWWers-- I need a reasonably cold read on my sixties story. Currently at six chapters. Not so much with the nuts and boltage, but more for flow, emotional depth and connection, and overall making sense. (Of course, if something really sucks or doesn't make sense, please, to let me know.)
Any takers?
And Amy, if you still haven't had time to read but would still like to, let me know and I'll send along fresh copy.

I could try, Barb.ETA: It's my ability to give good feedback I question, but I'd really like to read it!

Because books.
And Amy, if you still haven't had time to read but would still like to, let me know and I'll send along fresh copy.
Yes, please! And I'm SO SORRY.

Erika, feedback with a capital "F" isn't always what's needed. And there's generally always something of value to be found in feedback of any sort, once we get past the knee-jerk "oh holy SHIT" reactions. *g*
Yes, please! And I'm SO SORRY.
Um, why? Real life gets in the way. Pretty boys to relieve the stresses of real life should get in the way. I know if I needed Feedback! Now! because this was about to go out on submission, I know you'd get it to me.
No worries. ::pets and gropes Amy::

Ok, so I'm writing a scene in an 1930's bank building that has been converted to chi-chi condos. I thought up this whole listening-at-the-door thing, but now that I think about it, older buildings probably wouldn't let the sound out the way, say, mine, does.Am I right?

Don't know, but if you are, someone could have put in a new hollow-core door which would carry sound nicely.

erika, I live in a 1929 building (built as a luxury building ... now fallen on hard times) and sound travels between my apartment and the hallway quite well. Also between apartments.
And if the building's been converted, doors will be flimsier. Unless they're in the vault, sound should travel quite well.
