RE: The First Snow

in The Ink Welllast year

This narrative is well written and on the whole, an enjoyable read, but it could do with a bit more balance - the use of dialogue to aid the reader's understanding of the relationship between the two lovers, and witness it's gradual breakdown, would have elevated the piece as a story. The tone/language in the closing dialogue also feels a little mismatched between them. His language feels very formal in dialogue and in the postcard. Another strange formality was her name: Emma, The First Snow? Was there a reason for this? I ask as the constant use of the formal title can be slightly jarring.

We'd love to get to know you better but you do not appear to have written an intro post. You can still do this even though your account was opened 6 months ago. Getting to know our writers means that we are able to consider full curation of their quality submissions to The Ink Well.

Thank you for the tips! I'll do my best, and I've also created an introductory post for when I reach at least rank 60, as that's my goal.
