K.D. Wentworth Crit

At last I got my long-awaited crit from SF writer/WOTF judge K.D. Wentworth of my 1st qtr WOTF story, "Ra-Gho-Zu."

She packed a lot of info into one page.

I expect to model my short crits after this one.

My story received consideration as a Finalist, but the second half didn't quite mesh well enough with the first half.

Doh!

I'll rework the story a bit and then shop it around to likely markets.

I'm working now on a fantasy YA story for WOTF, and aiming to make it good as others of its kind go. It's doing better than I expected, especially since I'm not a fan of this genre. But I thought it'd be good to stretch my wings a bit rather than confine myself to favorite territory.

It'd be something if my YA story placed higher in WOTF than my SF story, which is also the pilot for a planned saga of mine. My YA tale may also be my last short story for a while, since I want to get started on novels that I've put off for way too long.
