RE: Friendship & The Future

This was a sweet recollection of a close friendship but, as a creative non-fiction, I encourage you to read it back to yourself out loud. What you will note straight away is the level of repetition with the piece, of words and themes. It slows the pace and risks tedium. You need to look at mixing things up with your word choice and using a lot more show than tell. By the end of it, I could summarise your piece as: you have a really good friendship with a funny and intellectual guy. Ultimately, the piece lacked development, and at only 642 words long, it is not surprising. There was insufficient word count in play to enhance the piece. There were few detailed anecdotes to bring the friendship to life. I trust that you will take this critique and use it to hone your craft and develop your stories more.
