Window Painting

Hello, friends.

Thought I’d share this story I drafted while getting a vehicle serviced. Now, every piece of writing advice I’ve read says it’s poor practice to share drafts of stories before they’re completely done. But, I thought I’d experiment with “working in the open” like an entrepreneur would with a startup.

The idea came from looking at a house on Zillow that had a painting hanging in the middle of a window.

Though I could expand it, this is where things stand.

And if you’re inclined, please offer feedback.

  • Did the story hold your interest from beginning to end? If not, where were the slow parts?
  • Did you bond with the main character? If not, why not?
  • Were there any parts of the plot that confused you? Please be specific.
  • Were there any characters you did not believe or thought were weak? If so, why?
  • Overall, do you have any suggestions for improvement?

Until next time,

David
