Thanks for responding to my ad on Craigslist. I can’t tell you how thrilled I
am to trade work with a fellow wordsmith of your caliber. We writers are often
left to our own devices, locked in our little holes, typing away, and too often
we lose touch with the great wide world around us. It's so wonderful to
exchange ideas with a talent near to my own.It is my sincere hope that we might both use this opportunity to improve
our skills.You may be new to this game,
but as a veteran of writers' workshops, I promise to offer only the most
constructive criticism that I know you will be able to absorb and use to your
benefit.And don't you worry about
criticizing my work.I've developed a
pretty thick skin in the year or two that I've been writing. My
work is pretty advanced, but if you do think of any criticisms, don't hesitate
to spell them out.
