Hallo KS23 Author Icon!*Smile*
I will be reviewing your work "The best part of my dayOpen in new Window. on behalf of "House Targaryen PointsOpen in new Window. for "Game of ThronesOpen in new Window.

*Dragon2* Content:

Written for a prompt-driven contest, this short story follows the daily morning ritual of a jogger who allows us into a glimpse of his journey around his neighbourhood. We are introduced to not just the surroundings he encounters, but there's a subtle social commentary edged in there somewhere.

*Dragon2* Pluses:

Phew! Even I'm exhausted after reading that! *Shock* If this piece was designed to get one to become motivated about running/jogging daily, guess it would work. Not for me though. I am as lazy as they come. Hah!

However, I can truly appreciate the way this was written. First off, you used the prompts given quite well, and in this piece about a jogger's morning routine, you are able to give us an idea of his personality as well as the neighbourhood he calls home. From the description of each street - which in turn have their own personalities - to the visitors he encounters along the way.

I particularly enjoyed all the animals he meets and the names he gives them; almost like they eagerly anticipate his arrival each day and welcome him with their chirps or barks. I liked the subtle distinction that was made between the rich and the poor just by the way the streets were designed (which does get one thinking actually).

*Dragon2* Suggestions:
Here are a few things I noticed while reading. Please remember that these are only my suggestions/opinions and it's ultimately up to you to choose what works best. *Smile*

>>By the time I return (,) the club will be

>>In an hour (,) the sun will ease over the distant hills

>>He calls a greeting (,) and I return

>>Seven minutes later (,) I'm back at my car tilting

Aside from my nitpicky little punctuation points, this was an enjoyable read, and again - could be a motivational poster for those who want to know just what should make them get up in the wee hours of the morning to go running around their neighborhood. Thanks for sharing your story with us. Keep on writing! *Bigsmile*
