Dry Spell

I haven't written anything in weeks. I haven't been able to deal with all of the comments I got on my last story which I really liked. I feel it is a strong story and the fact that no one mentioned the symbolism meant I did it right. Nobody noticed. The protagonist is a priest, and the comments I got from people I think are secular wanted him to be more priest like, even though he is a burned out priest at the beginning, but finds the spark again in the story. One Baptist minister liked the story a lot, especially the burned out priest thing, so I think I did okay with that as well, but the story needs to be sculpted.
Have I written about that yet?
