Dry impersonal descriptions of what's happening suck. Forget the he did this or that and keep it readable. Go with Michael slowed down and pulled into a nearby gas station instead of the cold impersonal dry description given in the story.
Seriously, no matter how good a plot you have if the story reads like a badly written instruction manual people are just not gonna relate to it.
My, what a sweet story, but a difficult read.
First person. BE the story.
By all means, please continue throwing your opinions and criticisms my way. They'll be taken into heart for the next story I make.
For Anon - my apologies as I'm limited to a third-person view. It's a personal tidbit that I can't get over, nor would it seem I'll grow out of it any time soon.
For kjohns - Harsh criticism, but definitely needed it. I'll be sure to learn from it.
