Week 7 and Leigh’s in a dither

Hello from sunny Iowa, where it’s going to be 70 degrees and slightly breezy today, the perfect day to be… out on a ladder painting the trim on my house. What’s wrong with this picture? Let me think….

However, before getting into my grubbies and going out to splash in the green paint, I managed to choose an entry and write a mini-critique. And let me tell you, it wasn’t an easy choice this week.

I’d noticed several possibilities during the week, but there was nothing really new to say about them. One seemed to start in the wrong place, with the heroine winding up an old life before starting a new one. One started off with nice intrigue but then absolutely nothing happened – the heroine settled down peacefully to sleep. Both of those problems I’ve commented on before, in the minis, so I felt going over those things again wasn’t likely to be a light-bulb moment for anyone.

So I started through the entries again, and … well, here’s the resulting mini-critique winner for this week. See what you think, and let’s talk about it.

Oh, and Rachelle picked a winner, too. Minor detail, there.

Happy writing,

Leigh
