I sent the postcard to my sister, who I’ve mentioned is my usual writing critique. I was comfortable sharing my work with her and it was well received on the other end. She replied, “My reaction was to laugh to myself, because this scenario is so relatable. You've captured the typical North American businessman on standby on some domestic flight to somewhere. As usual, the ticketing agent is less than inspired, and nameless.” There was the other typical comment about my adjective overdose, which I know is my tendency. However, I was glad to have delivered a message successfully within a few short lines. It was helpful to hear this feedback so that I now have the tools to expand and strengthen my story.
