My Assingnment -- Pilloried in the Mid-East

[Mad Lews]

Thank you for the kind thoughts Lews, but the truth reallly is that I cannot tell if this story works.

I was always told to write what you know. I do not know this perspective, and it was extremley difficult for me to reach the point I did. My word processor actually keeps trach of revisions, and it took over 200 for me to reach the point that was published here. Lots of work, but I am gald I did it.

Don't just write about what you know, write about what you want to know, what your curious about! Don't just write about what you feel, write about what others feel (which you really can't know first hand).

Someone once said fiction writing is about telling believable lies for fun or profit

200 revisions (large and small no doubt) tells me you read the story through 200 times before you were satisfied. That says a lot about tenacity and desire.
