critim,,,,
for sure, I could definitely feel the "ran out of time/words" crunch like two thirds in
I've thought about the author/character thought thing before and I think I've yet to find the balance, but I also wonder how knowing the author affects this vs. knowing the author through the story so to say (though sometimes I can tell it was "the author" thinking rather than the character even if I've never interacted with them before, which in this instance I agree would be the case)
thank you for critim I appreciate it
I'll probably trim most of the loloposting during rewrites, so thank you for pointing out specifics, and honestly, I would agree that the prose is better this time around, even if both were first drafts that imploded near the end due to skill issue
