I don't mind the constructive criticism however I have asked her to tell me if she is going to make changes and she didn't it is just that I want her to tell me what she thinks of it and tell me if there is anything that needs to be changed and I will change it so that I know what is being changed I find it easier if someone tells me what needs to be changed and I will change it so that I don't get confused and I know what is going on as I lose my train of thought if someone changes something with out telling me and I asked her if she liked something so it simply had to be a yes or no answer she didn't have to change anything and it was more the fact that she changed the punctuation of a sentence, that didn't need to be changed I had a sentence written perfectly and she put a full stop in the middle of a sentence where it wasn't need it. I would have preferred if she had told what she thought so that I could make the changes in case it was something important that was needed for the plot. That is also why I decided to post my stories here so that I can get feedback from other writers.

I have asked her if she liked what I had done or if it seemed right because I haven't written anything like this before and I wanted her opinion on what she thought of it. Yes I did tell her it is "Read Only" and she still changed things and I have told her before that she can't make changes to my story as it puts me off. No the changes weren't beneficial and I prefer to keep all my copies in electronic form because then I can control a lot easier who sees it and it wasn't that I didn't appreciate her opinion but I would have preferred her to tell me what she thought was wrong instead of just changing things in my manuscript without telling me. She changed the length of a couple of my sentences and added things where they shouldn't be. It would have been different if she had told me what was wrong so that I could do it instead of just changing things I wouldn't of minded it so much.
