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 :)

I think that's were Becky is going because she doesn't want to go too far, I'll ask and then see if when she's there she can give you any advice if you want :) And I'm doing History (which I'll also be doing as a degree), English Language and Applied Science. I did do Photography as an AS subject but didn't like it so dropped it end of year 12 :) How are you finding Media that's something Becky is doing and I know she did Lit as well in year 12 :)

That's ok :) xx

It's a University in Kent, - Canterbury Christchurch, they're Creative Writing course looks awesome - and they aren't asking for ridiculous entry grades that I won't be able to achieve! I'm studying English Lit, Media and History! What about you?

Thank you! xo
