Well, this was the pep talk the pre-readers gave us after the list of mistakes they pointed out:
"Its a cute story, no doubt about that, but problems with capitalization, use/misuse of puncutation, spelling errors, and show versus tell (most pertaining to setting and how Dinky's surroundings are detailed and described) keeps the story from acheiving its potential. I'd recommend finding an editor if possible and going over the Editor's Omnibus if you havnt already, both may prove to quite useful. This being the first strike of three, I advise putting as much work into the piece as possible before resubmitting, please take your time and dont rush."
