HP, when she first started writing Shadow Realm I copied and pasted it into Word so that I could track all the changes I would make. I had pages of comments for her, grammatical errors, and wording/phrasing suggestions. I kept trying to include encouraging comments, but to most people a page that filled with critique would be discouraging.
It took her less than a week after that to write the next installment.
I sincerely doubt she left because of a writing critique. She seems as though she fully understands the importance of constructive criticism, and can take it much better than most people I know.
