Your story has potential but would benefit from going deeper; more show than tell. There was also no backstory to why Nessa's health was at risk so her plea for her husband to choose should the situation arise, felt somewhat out of place. Your story needed more development in this area so that when the time came, we understood the stakes, the risks they had taken falling pregnant in the first place, the risks they had taken seeing out the pregnancy, and why it meant so much to Nessa. This would have allowed us to feel more immersed in the story and more in tune with the emotions that you try to evoke. In addition,your story would benefit from a light edit to correct for spelling errors, and issues with punctuation and grammar, and presentation of dialogue. Editing one's work (without extensive use of AI) is essential to ensure a quality submission. Work on these things and your stories will start to pop 💥 As regards commenting on other stories, please ensure that you comment BEFORE sharing your own story in future. Both your comment on the Inkwell prompt post, and your story submission, were published without issue. It seems that it should have been obvious to you if you had tried to post comments that were not posting. It is disingenuous to claim that you have supported other writers when you have not. On this occasion, as you have gone back and supported others, we have curated but this will not always be possible.
