Short and Sweet
"What I liked -Overall Nice Pacing. Events didn't take longer than they needed to. -Nice Articulation. There were some moments that felt slightly off but the general point of your story was clear and heartwarming. What I Could Change -General Editing Fixes. Every writer needs them but I think it slightly hampered the story you wanted to tell and in the end, it's the reason I couldn't give a 4 star like I initially wanted. Nothing you couldn't edit in a few hours. -Explore Conflict. There were points in the story where you hinted at a possible conflict for your character but didn't go with it. I think you should consider exploring them. Think about it this way. Imagine if we knew why 2021 and 2020 was terrible for the main protagonist instead of assuming we had a similar experience. He sounds like a pianist. What if the main character had built shows for 2020 and 2021 only to have his entire plans shut down? What if he wasn't able to write a new piece like he wanted, couldn't pay rent and was forced to vacate and has been living in a friends house and was only able to afford paper. Think about how impactful the letters he got would now be. Or even how important those letters would be to her junior if she knew this was the only thing he could afford apart from food. Something like that helps people relate more to characters. -Explore Character. As short as the story was, there was room to know more about this character in a way that made a lasting impact. You don't have to add too many details, just a few will do. Maybe he's someone who loves remembering songs and dances when an ice cream truck passes by. Maybe he likes washing his armpits before he drinks water. Something that really sticks out so people feel like for a second, they knew about your character. I think the story is pretty wholesome and I really wanted to give it more love. I'm sure with a few fixes, the ending that I feel you were going for would work really well."
