A very nice story about two writers that had much in common. I can see where a writer feels more comfortable if they are in the same field of expertise. But do they compete with each other then?

I enjoyed reading your contest entry, Mystery Author. You did a good job with the prompt. I could see this as I read, and believe it is a real possibility. I like the happy ending for Tom and Linda.
Best wishes.
Respectfully, Jan

It's nice to imagine a friendship helping each other because they were shy, and then expanding and blossoming into something bigger than they could ever have imagined. Love blooms in strange places.

Smiles, Carol

I want this to be true, but it's only fiction..?
It's adorable and shows that the pen is definitely mightier than the sword...A lovely, creative account on writing. It was a delight to read.

Hi there,

Whilst there is nothing wrong with the story here, the writing is a little flat and feels perfunctory. A bit pedestrian. There's no real description or emotion to the piece.

I think you could improve upon the readability of this a little by separating it into paragraphs. the single block is a bit unappealing.

to have a pen pal to write / enjoyed having Tom as her penpal - I think pen pal is two words but either way, it's best to just use one presentation.

he enjoyed having Tom as her penpal At first she didn't know what to write. - need a period / full tops before At.

At first she didn't know what to write. she just said,- the period after write should probably be a comma. Either that or She needs capitalised.

All the best
GMG

    Thanks. I did capitalize she. I put paragraphs in the story, and pen pal is two words.
