First Draft

by Victoria Constant
25th April 2013

Hi,

I have just posted my first draft of a short story entitled 'Never Forgotten.' It is something I wrote in 2010 just before I turned 16 and I have not gone back yet to do my second draft. Now that I have more time on my hands with my A-Levels nearly finished I want to complete this story; however I am stuck on how to do this. Would someone please take a look and let me know any ways I can improve my work. Anything said will be great as I find I benefit from constructive criticism. I really want to be able to collect final drafts of some of my work by the time I finish university in 2016 so hopefully, if people wouldn't mind helping, I will upload other short stories I have worked on. Thankyou in advance :)

The Creative Writing Course at the Uni I want to go to looks awesome! I'm still doing my AS Levels at the moment though, so I'm not at the applying stage yet - October!

Oh, I'll have a look! x

Ah, I always preferred Language to Lit - I'm doing English Lit - Unfortunately no creative writing! So, I'm considering a perhaps doing some kind of Creative Writing degree at Uni.
