I agree with Helen that maybe it’s better to take yourself off there for a while, since you’ve probably got all the useful feedback you can expect! There does seem to be a thread of similarity between all the reviews, so you can work on that, but this review does seem a lot more dismissive than the others, so try not to take it to heart – it’s just not to their taste.

It seems to me that a lot of the crits are saying essentially the same thing regarding the prose style, and it might be more beneficial for you to think about how to address this issue before putting yourself through the YouWriteOn mill again? If you’d like me to give you an indepth crit at any point, I’d be happy to do so, and perhaps help you work out what you need to do to make the prose style a bit less ‘filmic’, which I think perhaps is where the problem lies??
