  1. The very root of your writing while sounding agreeable originally, did not really work perfectly with me personally after some time. Someplace within the sentences you actually were able to make me a believer but only for a short while. I still have a problem with your jumps in logic and you would do well to help fill in those gaps. If you actually can accomplish that, I could undoubtedly end up being impressed.
