Sorry if I offended slightly with "valid" but with my brain's great way of articulating, I believe I was using valid more to describe my actual understanding within the story. (I know this is not what the word means, but again, my brain is trying to figure out the closest terminology to obviously what its trying to say.) When I stated that the class raised "valid" points I meant that they were points that I hadn't thought of, made logical sense, and could be applied well to the critique. As for the "valid" structure in your story, I meant that my mind (amongst the mass confusion in the middle section) did recognize a structure in the beginning and the ending, which then made me believe that your story has a lot of potential (to go where however, is obviously up to you). However, I know the terminology is "my bad" in this case, and I'll try to articulate (ie. think for two hours instead of one) better when writing a critique. It'll be interesting to see what your 3rd workshop will be like, especially if your style jumps again like it did from IDILM3L to Victor Victoria. Will you be reading in a different accent again? (sorry, couldn't help but ask, but it was quite amusing last time)

Erin!

P.S. My god, is that your typical thinking pattern when you analyse any story in our class? Fascinating on my part to see what other people bring up on my writing. They discuss points that I wasn't even thinking about when I wrote the story LOL. It's like finding out what my subconcious was doing . . . I don't even think I can spell "psychoanalysis" (nope-- praise the "cut and paste" command)
