A friend told me they prefer the version in the first draft. Which version do you like? Your feedback will be super helpful in helping me craft this story! Thanks in advance for having the courage to post your comment here :)
Writing is a lot like surfing. Go with the flow. You may be able to do some twists and turns here and there, but for the most part, the ocean is running the show. When writing, let the story unfold in your mind and write what you see and feel. Paint a picture. Sculpt a landscape. It cannot and should not be forced. When the Universe is ready to deliver your story, you'll know. Enjoy the ride! You're off to a great start!
Thanks for the great feedback, and from what I have experienced thus far I agree with your wisdom about letting the story unfold. I feel like the story wants to tell itself and I am kind of just along for the ride, helping to bring it to the surface.

My opinion is that the current draft is better.
