Cordelia: It was a nightmare, a total nightmare.
Cordelia: I mean, they promised me they'd take me to St. Croix, and then they just decide to go to Tuscany. (exhales) Art and buildings? I was totally beachless for a month and a half. No one has suffered like I have. Of course I think that that kind of adversity builds character. Well, then I thought, I already have a lot of character. Is it possible to have too much character?

Woo! Congratulations on your first post!

[dreamkist]

:)

[thenewbuzwuzz]

Wow, you just... went ahead and did the thing. :))) That's amazing -- and it looks really good! (Would you like more detailed feedback?)

[dreamkist]

Was I not supposed to??

You can tell me what I need to fix!

[thenewbuzwuzz]

Most of us made test posts first, but you're clearly fine without! I may be a tiny bit jealous, because there was way more drama before I learned to format a Herald post. :D
I don't think there's anything you *need* to fix. I see a few small things I'd do differently, is all. I was thinking I could tell you about them in the other comm or by PM, and then you could decide how you wanna approach them in the future. But seriously, I think this looks about as good as an average (maybe slightly hurried) Herald post by an experienced editor. You did great!
