Hello @reblogme you write eloquently. Your writing, however, is laden with description. This slows the pace and helps us to visualise what the MC is seeing, but this does not move the story forward quickly enough when wordcount is a limiting factor. You like to address the battle between good and evil in your stories, and the fear of the unknown. What we don't know or see is how your characters discovered their abilities, and honed them. How did they connect with the Council (whatever that may be), and become dreamweavers? Who is behind the nightmares and why? These are all important questions that emerge from a reading of this piece and such it feels a little underdeveloped for it to be a complete short story. We find that stories presenting on the shorter side, often lack development as there are simply insufficient words to flesh out the characters, plot, and necessary arcs.

Thank you for writing in The Ink Well.
