Early draft. I'm mostly worried about certain sections coming across in a way I don't intend, things not makings sense but in a way that provokes little thought or emotion, and certain sections weakening the overall. Ideally, I'd like to know what is impactful and what dosen't stick. Any edits, no matter how harsh would be amazing, line edits, general direction, what to cut, grammar, endings, starts, and more. The more detail the better.
