Wow, this was really good. Your writing flows naturally and your choices of sentence structure and paragraphing emphasize her mindset, especially the inner conflict she's experiencing. Your vocabulary is smart but never excessive. Most importantly, I really felt this character could exist. You captured it very sharply. Nice work.

Ugh.

See, I'm not normally a 3rd-person-point-of-view type of gal.

But this was so good. There may not have been much action, but you got the tone and emotion exactly right! I felt as if I was the one with the letter.

Bueno :)

Well, first off, I just want to point out you need to fix what should be "compiled". It says "complied".

I can really relate to this story. It's how I got a boyfriend. He was an teacher's aide in one of my classes and I started to get a crush on him. I decided that I would write him a letter and put it on his truck or something. Well, I didn't really know what I'd do with it, but the first step was to write it. Anyway, I waited until the day before I was going to give it to him because I knew that if I wrote it any sooner, I would think "I could do better than this" and get frustrated, tear it up, and rewrite it, eventually leading to my insanity. Anyway, the next morning at school (which was the last day before spring break) I left it on his truck with my email address on it.

Now, the funny thing is, the internet went down for the next three days which meant I couldn't check my email. That, in itself, led to my insanity. Anyway, to make the rest of the story short, we've been together for almost 22 months now. =)

P.S. I like this story.
