If Gog is a giant (as others have said) - I totally didn't understand that. Is Mini a very small person?

And ADORE how it's "Gog and the Beanstalk": the giant's POV--not Jack's. <br /><br /><br />You've already heard great advice: clarify the giant POV, specific details about the stakes, voice. Not an easy task: "Mini was never the most flexible little giant?" But the story's so unique, I can't wait to see what you do.Stacy Couchhttp://twitter.com/couchminenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007703247358638748.post-73124002289101745762014-02-12T20:50:17.218-05:002014-02-12T20:50:17.218-05:00Erin definitely has a way with cutting to the chas...Erin definitely has a way with cutting to the chase...her pitch critiques are always helpful! <br />I voted...although it was difficult because all 5 stories sound intriguing.:)<br />And YES, Pam, I would certainly read your story.

Yes, I would definitely read it as I love school plays. As with other comments already given, I didn't realize this was about giants, but maybe if I hadn't been in a sugar-coma from the yummy cupcake I would have gotten that from the title (which I really liked btw!) I, too, think the pitch needs a little more pitching so we know what's really at stake for Mini other than normal theatre chaos--what is it that she learns or changes from/because of? Thanks for sharing this, Pam, and Happy Wednesday!Karen Mae Zoccolinoreply@blogger.com
