hello @marynn. Your piece would have benefited from an edit to correct some issues with punctuation. We recommend using the basic editing functionality in Grammarly or Google Docs, but advise against using any of their more advanced AI features which are not condoned by The Ink Well and which will result in a piece flagging for AI influence. Please do remember to support at least two other writers in The Ink Well community by engaging with them and supporting their stories, each time you submit one of your own. Your piece would have earned higher curation if both of the aforementioned had been in place.
