Writing.Com General Discussion

Well, it's been a few years but I finally managed to snag some time and make some edits to one my most popular pieces.
Choices has received a few tweaks and polishing and I think it's ready for publication. It topped out at 1,364 words, even though the limit was 1,500.

Portfolio Piece: Choices

This was a piece written and then revised for Long Ridge Writers Group, The original assignment was limited to 1,000 to 1,500 words. I'm concerned that f I tried to stretch it to the 1,500 marker, the new content might be nothing more than fluff. 136 words could go either way.

I am open to suggestions and reactions.

Please, no comments on the formatting, I couldn't remember how to set the paragraphs with this system.
