To be frank Audrey, u are not doing justice to these characters and ur descriptions are still suffering. U didn't get better after unfulfilled promises. I don't know how to begin to point them out but am sure another person must hv noticed what am trying to get at. Unfulfilled promises is more compelling and smoother. Please u are over stressing on the wealth of d Ekwes making almost unbelievable. Make ur story more real except there's something am not used to.

Any refreshment here?!
This looks like constructive criticism to you? U didn't get better after unfulfilled promises. That sentence alone killed my writing spirit. What's wrong in saying, 'Audrey, you're trying sha but you haven't gotten the descriptive part yet. Please work on it.' I really didn't expect you of all people to make an observation like that. I know my flaws, that was why i said i'm more of a story teller than a writer. After trying my best at descpition and trying to copy others, i had to tell myself the truth that my style of writing is different. I believe you read my reply to someone who praised my narration and i told her descrpition was what i was going to work on next.. So the online courses i took were for nothing? So i didn't improve in anything simply because i can't describe? Please put yourself in my shoes. Look at how Jonathan2787 put his own criticism and how i enjoyed replying him. You know i'm not a proud writer/story teller who doesn't listen to criticism. I took what he said and worked on it because of the way he said it. That said, thanks for the observation. I will work on it.

Secondly, a relative of mine was once a senator and another, a minister. Whatever i write about the senator and his family is from first-hand experience and that of friends who have experienced such too. I carry out researches before i start writing.

Lastly, it's a work of fiction with about twenty percent reality. So please bear with me. Thanks.

your writting spirit shouldn't be killed because of one destructive opinion everyone has flaws and am sure not all people that say one thing or the other about a subject actually knows the subject, maybe shes talking because she wants to talk and i don't think she can write half as good as you, she isnt the only one here and we are many that are your fan so the positive comments are more than the negatives thats why you should just overlook, its a social network so expect such from time to time, but just laugh and move on.

Well, sis AudreyTimms, you are a great storyteller, and irrespective of what anyone thinks whatsoever, I always look forward to your work due to your ability of effortlessly bringing in humor to your literary piece, just like flow1759, and that is a big ups to you.

As regards the description, I think you are doing a terrific job, and all you have to do to make it mind-blowing is by toning down on repetitive emphasis such as Louis vuitton, dolce & galbana etc, leaving a little vacuum for the readers imagination.

Lastly, thanks for sharing this particular work for free, your ocean of blessings shall never run dry!

More please **puppy face**

Well, let me continue reading. I didn't know I was supposed to sing ur praises at all times. Forgive. I hardly do read other people's comments so I do not know what dear Jonathan has written, I just put down mine.

Essyprity, don't take this wrongly but i dare say you didn't use your words judiciously or should i say diplomatically. Yes, i've noticed her struggling with description but because she got better in other areas, i believed inwardly that she'd get there some day. Indeed, she's gotten better after unfulfilled promises. Her dialogues no longer end with full stop before the closed quotation marks when she's saying what someone said. Her narration is better. She still has some issues with the use of will/would but she's getting there. And she doesn't make many grammatical errors anymore unlike in unfulfilled promises. Yes, maybe she should tone down on the riches of the senator's family but i can totally relate with the story because i went to a private university where the girls were always like, 'who are you wearing? My mum got it for me when she was in paris. Will you come to my pool party? Blah blah blah' My opinion though.

Really put yourself in her shoes. Even i cringed when i saw that 'you didn't get better after unfulfilled promises' comment. Imagine someone who doesn't really understand mathematics but during the holidays, he tried his best to study but after a test the following term, the teacher brings out the student in front of the whole assembly and tells him he didn't get better in mathematics simply because the boy failed algebra, totally forgetting he passed equations, geometry, simple and compound interest etc. Are you getting the picture i'm trying to paint?


Lastly, that your statement up there about her wanting praises all the time is just so wrong. I know for a fact that she's one of the humble writers we have here alongside Larrysun, sammyhoe and divepen. Please, we're going to be mothers tomorrow, let's learn not to make our children cringe or drive them into their shells while trying to correct them. You can throw sarcasm my way as well, no problem. After what i've been through in this life, my skin is thicker than a crocodile's.

Peace.

I understand what she's trying to say. It's just the way she put it i didn't like because we went through Unfulfilled Promises together so i expected more from her. Anyway, that's water under the bridge. Thanks

Wow. Thanks for putting things in another perspective. I also attended a private university. Thanks for noticing the small efforts i made in trying to get better. It feels good that someone noticed. Some people don't know when you ask the so-called 'made' writers for help, you don't get any. I'll continue trying on my own. Someday, by God's grace, i will get there. Thanks dear.
