Verdict's in

My friend has read the three chapters that I sent her and the verdict is in. The response was very positive and I got so much from having the feedback of someone else. She pointed out a few grammatical/typing errors which is horrific considering the amount of times that I have been through it. Also her observations on certain things have got me thinking and there are things that I will be developing and changing. The best thing that she did say apart from the fact that she thought it was a great story and that she thought that it had the potential to be a good novel was that it kept her interested all of the time. That is particularly satisfying because that is what I set out to do. Oh and by the way, she asked to see more.

Sounds like the verdict is guilty: you are gonna be a writer.

It's great to have someone who can be both honesty and helpful. I have a friend who's very good she tells me the truth and doesn't spare my feelings, which is great because the agent/publisher won't either.

My friend tells me when I got things right and very wrong, and I know my writing is better for it.

Best wishes to you and your good friend.

I know what you mean Annie a true friend is a thing to be treasured. Also knowing that someone else enjoyed it and saw its potential has encouraged me to really work on it instead of not looking at it for another year and a bit.
If I'm guilty captain what's the sentence?
