I'm going back over my chapters again, this time with critiques in hand. These particular crits are from a year ago when I first put the beginning chapters of WW on the OWW.

Critter two on chapter 2 (again, paraphrasing is mine): "I much prefer this chapter to your first one. This is one more dramatic and well-written. Here we have conflict and interesting characters..."
So, um, yeah...back to revising trenches I go, repeating merrily to myself, "You'll never please everyone..."
