Prose Problems, catalogued:

PP1. Her beginnings suck with Teh Dense Stuffiness. This is because she starts off feeling insecure. Tonight, she cut two sentences out of paragraph two, simply because they were screaming at her: "RAAAEE! Look how pretty we are! We are trying soooooo hard!" chopchopchop

PP2. She over-explains. This is because she wants everyone to understand her story. Silly Rae. She should never write down to people. She should use her own level of reading sophistication as a guide. Would *you* understand that this is a thematic echo? Yes? Then don't surround it with flashing lights. Would *you* count up all the years looking for hidden significance? Yes? Then don't tell your readers to do it.

PP3. She has a cadence addiction. This is because she has a strong musical background. Although a nice trick when used sparingly, her entire prose piece should not be able to follow seamlessly after There once was a man from Nantucket...

PP4. She has an alliteration addiction. See PP3.

PP5. TBD

PP6. TBD

Why Rae is happy: She knows how to fix "Becoming."
