I know it needs a LOT of work so don't go soft on me! http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/crdale/228056/ A short story I wrote for a class that I would love to revise, just looking for people to point out the areas they think that need to be worked on the most (including the prose, oi :P :P) http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/crdale/205413/ Another creative nonfiction piece, this one a bit more positive than the last that focuses on my sister, Kristen. I hope you enjoy it. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/crdale/205373/ I've never considered myself a poet, this is a lame attempt, really :P But still, let me know what you think! http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/crdale/205357/ My first poem, but don't go easy on me! http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/crdale/205354/ My first true honest-to-goodness short story, also done years ago, that I'd like to have some feedback on to fix up. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/crdale/205350/ A creative nonfiction piece done many years ago now, but one I'd love to restore and work on again, from some of what I consider to be my most fascinating psychological adventures growing up. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/crdale/205346/ Flash-fiction piece http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/crdale/152435/
