I finally sat down and finished my draft for one of my entries to ZNB. It's fantasy, about 4700 words, and I would really appreciate a critique. I'd be happy to swap if anyone has anything they'd like me to give an opinion on. Thank you very much!

Thank you! Give me a day or two. I’m going to finish a draft on horror and I could really use your help on that. I appreciate it! 😊

Hello Anna, I would be happy to read your story. You don't need to read anything of mine in return, just DM me at your convenience. Take care.
“Stories are the collective wisdom of everyone who has ever lived. Your job as a storyteller is not simply to entertain. Nor is it to be noticed for the way your turn a phrase. You have a very important job—one of the most important. Your job is to let people know that everyone shares their feelings—and that these feelings bind us. Your job is a healing art, and like all healers, you have a responsibility. Let people know they are not alone. You must make people understand that we are all the same.”

I have a story about a star athlete who falls in love with a robot searching for her humanity. Any thoughts? I'd be happy to send it for a critique. No need to give me your story.
