In response to "Reviewing Poetry - by Kate"

Thank you for your lovely newsletter. It helped me in compiling my class on poetry reviewing here on WDC. I have a question. I am unable to find meaning and examples of emphatic emphasis and lingual legerdemain anywhere. Can you help me with the same?

In response to "Mental Preparation Prior to Reviewing - by Arwee"

TEFF= April Sunday
For Issue # 43 // Reposted @

In chronological order: Without using c&p and typing in the following quotes spots ...

CHRONO ORDER

AT: "getting back ..." try return or returned

"get so wrapped up ..." stressing out can now be inserted
as it hooks as what (of the 5 Ws)
may now open a hook paragraph, dear rev nl poster.
With your other opinion reading overall here in this title --- Me: inclusive of admission: moods affect tone (and shouldn't) online revver to writer. Thus, SEE YOUR ADVICE of taking a deep breath, reading the entire story through, not placing accidental (uncontolable?) swings to disrespectfully forgetting somehow that you are talking to a "real person" Your? Reviewee.

AT: "get something done ..." try accomplish
"something" above ... a task
"something" in next use ... wait a minute thinking cap ... ooooh a chore?

Always interest an audience in editorials via letter to crowd format. Just a few tings a reviewer of OP works should know. Seldom do authors address crowds of invisible audiences without realizing they are not talking to a single person.

OF: " ... for the rest of us heavily affects ... (way) we sound ..." Really? Is this a job? Then you advise breaking from reviewing. Thank goodness, huh?

/// With: "sound to others" ... you are receiving a free gift from an author and worry about your errors ... while searching for his/ her.

Oh my oh my oh my.

In response to "Should the reviewer be a reader or a writer? by Lotusneko"

Recently, finding places via wdc search which shows rev nl. Came across this one from Lotusnecko with a two prong question. "Do you think it is more important for a reviewer to be a reader or writer?"

There are few successful or TTT writers who don't do both. (TTT=To The Top re: their products, which many of us review onsite.) Now, with these questions you are tending to separate reviewers into a class which onsite and especially in this NL appears to set a reviewer into a reviewer only category. Which in all honesty, I feel is quite a shame. The revver is a person who reads, rates and writes often enough his/ her take on an item written by another author. This we know, nothing new.

Now: re: spending more time reading ... ALMOST 100% of your best writers read continuously. Some review sporadically, some never review at all.

I admit I come to this April 2009 nl with a bugaboo of my own, previously inside my head which enjoys common sense. For one thing, would like to see written pieces (poetry, stories, articles, etc etc) rewarded for being written, as per when they are written. Instead we do know, of course that revs whether brief or lengthy, helpful or worthless are rewarded daily. This is the system and we accept this. Reviews become edits; this we may note also. As it is rather obvious. All fine.

Therefore in all hope of humanity rendering a fairness ... about isn't it ever time that there be a strong, stronger, strongest emphasis on writing well, writing better and as one poster puts it on RIDING THE WRITERS WAVE FORUM from "Invalid Item" writing great ... as opposed to the feedback being either more important, or as important? I tend to wonder about this. Then I am as nature intended a questionable, sceptical creature. Eh? It must be in my blood line.

What is also a given is that writers who are serious and prolific often send great reviews with writing hints as they are learning these for themselves (not from review speak only.) Authors often research and gather author-to-author hints. Writers can make a very big difference while r/r/r-ing their fellow writers.

Lastly, one of our few means to critique a revver is inside rev replies.
