The Importance of Vests: More Challenges from the Writers' Group

If you aspire to the craft of writing, the most precious gift you can receive is honest feedback about your work. If that feedback comes from your fellow writers, you are doubly blessed. You will be able to "see" your story as it's enjoyed (or endured) through the eyes of others. You'll not only receive constructive criticism, but detailed advice about how to improve your writing. All these benefits can be found through membership of a writers' group. This second anthology of short stories are based on challenges set by Northants Writers' Ink (NWI), covering the years 2018 to early 2021. I commend these stories to you. You can critique my responses to each challenge and decide if I've met the brief. You can consider what you might have written in my place. And you can ask yourself the question, 'Exactly how important are vests?'
