My Mississippi [E] For the March 2008 Blogville News |
Hi, Mrs. Whatsit: ** Image ID #2153918 Unavailable ** It's February Raid with WdC Superpower Reviewer's Group. I broke away from the theme of our February Raid because my curiosity got the best of me when I saw this piece. Here are some comments you might consider when you decide to revisit it for tightening and improvement. My observations and suggestions are enclosed in brackets and color-coded green. *Content Wow! What a blog loaded with historical data. So informative, educational, as well as, entertaining. I learned a lot from reading this introduction about Mississippi, her folks and their provincialism. As far as *Mechanics,*Syntax, Punctuation Marks, and Spelling are concerned, I saw nothing that caused my eyebrows to raise. This report is well-done. Having said that, I do have to point out one word that is often misspelled for one reason or another. Here is one snippet I cut and pasted that need fixing: I don't know if it's a typo but it glares at me. the capitol city.[capital] [Capitol is the government building in the capital city while the Capital is the city.] *Dialogue I like the tone and voice of the writer. It's just as good as employing dialogue. *Disclaimer I hope my observations and suggestions can help you tighten some loose ends relating to the mechanics in writing. Keep in mind, though, that these are from one reader's point of view. As such, take it with a grain of salt. The decision to adopt or discard suggestions is your prerogative. *Over-all take away Go for it with your Blogville News. You got the knack. I would love to read more of these. Thanks for sharing. My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
