Quote: pam123writing, Monday, 6 Oct 2008 09:42Thanks for your review. Obviously we have different ways of writing a short story. For me a short is what is happening at the time, with a small amount of past thrown in. (which is exactly what I've done) Dating Game doesn't need bogging down with back detail, that would be boring. But hey, what do I know??? I only wote it and you are a "best seller"!! Cheers, Pam H.

Hi Pam. as is often the case with printed communication, the wrong impression can be conveyed. Dating game works as it stands. And as a short story, you have succeeded in keeping it to the point which is a valuable skill. Masses of back information would clog the flow and it is my biggest gripe. All I would have liked to see would be little glimpses of character- I can't suggest anything as it is your story, but I know what rings true with me. Anyway, see if others make the same point.
Best wishes
