The nurse looked at me confused and wrapped me back in a pink blanket I stopped crying again so they left me in pink blankets I was the talk of the hospital the boy who preferred pink is what the doctors said.

Editing Needed

Teek's picture

You have a story to tell. It is hard to come out and post something to complete strangers. I commend you for your bravery and encourage you to keep writing, and keep posting. I see you have posted other stories, ones much longer than this one.

Like this one, there is a common theme, some editing would be helpful. This particular story has one sentence that is 317 words long. It is one long run-on sentence which makes it hard for the reader to get what you are trying to convey. It is a sad fact, but sentences and grammar really do help the story. The words are only part of the way the message is expressed. Putting a comma in one spot or a period in another, can totally change the meaning of the words on a page. I am no expert. My writing is full of grammatical errors, even after being edited and checked for spelling and grammar errors. Over time I have gotten better, but I still have a LONG ways to go.

Here you have written a story of a baby who from the second they were born, preferred everything girl and resisted everything boy. All the elements are there to make this a good short story; the premiss, a conflict, a happy ending. You even did some character development. it is the sentences and paragraphs that need refining, and with that, I believe you would find the story getting a little longer and allow for a bit more character development.

>> this went on tell I was three then my my told me I could where do girl stuff I had to act and dress like daddies little man not mommies little girl I cried my self to sleep and just frowned stayed in my room didn't play with any body at day care untill a little girl my age came and asked if I want to play I said yes then we played dress up dolls tea party<<

Edited Version:
>> . . . This went on until I was three years old. My Mom told me I could not wear girl stuff or act like a girl. I had to act and dress like Daddy's little man, not Mommy's little girl. That night, I cried myself to sleep. Over the next few days, I just frowned and stayed in my room. At daycare, I didn't play with the other boys, and stayed away from the girls.

This continued until one day a little girl my age came and asked if I wanted to play.

I said, "Yes."

We went over and played dress up, dolls, tea party . . . <<

I believe the edited version still expresses the same thing you were trying to express, but it made it easier for the reader to grasp the message. You need to keep writing. It is obvious you have some wonderful ideas that need to be expressed and shared with the world. If you ask, I am sure you will find some people on here who would be willing to help you grow as a writer, and others that would be willing to help with editing your stories before posting.

In these 439 words, you have enough to make me start to ask questions. I want to know more about your main character, and what her father thought about his 3 year old going out on Halloween dressed as Doc McStuffins. Mom appears willing to let her baby go through life as a girl, but that character isn't fully developed enough to fully judge that. If Dad is the one that forced the "Little Man" stuff on her, who will be the stronger one in time? Like I said, you have the foundation of a story here. Refine it, edit it, and continue writing. I look forward to seeing where you go with this.
