'Hi Bob,' John said.

Apart from that, the story has numerous issues. For starters, I am not sure why you kept writing Svensson over and over. Also, I don't understand the ending. Did the woman poison her husband? That should have been more clear.

I am sorry to say that, but the story isn't good. The concept of a woman confessing her crime to an officer is interesting, but in this case it is executed poorly.

Keep practising; nobody became a great writer overnight. The fact that you wrote a story and posted it here shows that you are on the right way. Keep it up and happy writing. And I totally agree with Dupin. It's just so poorly-executed, you might need to rewrite the whole story. Give it more details, and don't forget to include our tips.

As Dupin said, "nobody became a great writer overnight."

Do you know how long it took me to study the art of writing? Four years, and I'm studying until now.

Study the foundations of English (assuming English is not your first language) and I'm sure you'll get better.
