The Short Story Part 5: Tips

Before the editing process began I got some good feedback from friends on this short story.  As I stated before, I never gave up on revisions to the text. I learned  more about  writing  since I penned this story, and I believe that I can make a good story better. The ultimate goal is to make the story publishable.

The feedback I received concerned issues with tenses (I mixed past and present), conflict resolution with the characters/narrative, and trimming/adding parts of the story.  All of which is both necessary to address and daunting.  The plot itself does not need to be made over, and will remain intact for the most part.    Still when I have a day to myself, I will commence to properly rewriting.
