Hello, PureSciFi / spacefaction!

INITIAL IMPRESSION / OVERVIEW:

I was really impressed with the amount of writing that you do. You wrote that "I’m working on fifteen movies, fifteen television shows and ten novels." Wow!

Your writing kept me interested and I read straight through to the end.



MORE DETAILED FEEDBACK:

Happy Writing.Com Anniversary day and month! I hope you enjoy this review as a celebration of your time here and find the review uplifting and encouraging.

I perused your portfolio for something to review in honor of your anniversary and found this nice letter. I love the Dear Me Official Writing.Com contest and like to read others' letters. I hope you'll write one for 2025!

You sure had a lot going on for the year 2016!

My favorite part was your conclusion: " I know I’m not going to be able to do it all. There’s so little time and so little time to do it. But I’m going to try my best to do it all." I think we all feel this way. We want to do so very much! But there's only so much time in a day, week, month or year. It slips away quickly.

I thought your Dear Me letter was very open and honest and thoughtful.

The second part of this sentence made me chuckle: "If you don’t know what I mean by challenge you can check out Portfolio – or you can read on if you haven’t stopped reading this boring letter yet." The humor worked for me. Though I think a writing instructor told me to never label my own work as boring as sometimes it causes readers to stop reading.

I thought you were wise to plan to have enough reward gps available for the most optimistic option. One never knows. I'm curious as to what ended up happening and how many people took you up on the offer? I wasn't even a member here yet, so I know I didn't. But I have fanned you, so hopefully I see your news feed posts at least.

I thought the genres you selected were perfect for this Dear Me letter of yours.

Oops! You wrote: ""I’m just glad no one else is ever going to see this letter." ... I guess you didn't actually want me (or anyone) to read this? Though... if you entered it in the "Dear Me" contest, I'm sure the judges read it. And it's still available on your port, so if you don't want future readers, you can always make it private. All these years later (eight years? I'm tired and don't have a calculator handy so if my math is wrong, I apologize), someone else is reading your letter. I love reading the Dear Me letters. It's fun for me to read about other writer's hopes and dreams for a new year.


IDEAS TO MAKE YOUR PIECE STRONGER:
In the spirit of helpfulness, I have several little suggestions to make your piece stronger. If you're interested in some constructive criticism, read on. But if you aren't, no worries. Just know that I enjoyed your Dear Me letter and move on to the next section.

Still reading? You're brave! Yay for you!

The first paragraph has some redundancies and could be more cleanly written. It might actually prevent some from reading further the way it is now. Instead of saying the same thing multiple times, I would recommend just saying it one time.

When you have lists, like of the contests you plan to enter, it might be more visually appealing if you bulleted them instead of listing them in paragraph form. This also helps keeps readers interested.

In this sentence, your meaning is clear, and I liked your enthusiasm. I would change two little things though. "As for my Reviewing nothing is going to stop me from doing that." I would not capitalize "reviewing" ... I glanced up and it wasn't capitalized elsewhere, so if it's not being done in the whole document, I wouldn't do it at all unless it started a sentence. And I would add a comma after "reviewing." This is because it's a new thought that is related. So it isn't right for a period / new sentence, but it does need some separation and a comma would be ideal, in my opinion.

"Most of my reviews come from Anniversary Reviews. I try to do as much of them as Anniversary Reviews as I can." Me too! I think the second sentence here would be a little clearer if you said "reviews" instead of "them." Not everyone is already into doing Anniversary Reviews and might not know what you mean. Though, hopefully, most seasoned people here are aware of Anniversary Reviews. You never know when a newbie will read your letter.

"For the next few months I might only be able to do about twenty-five to fifty review – mostly during the monthly WDC raids." This sentence has one little typo. I think "review" should be plural, so "reviews." Easy to fix, should you choose to do so.


CONCLUSION:
I enjoyed reading your Dear Me letter and I hope you had a great writing year in 2o16 and have another this year!

Thank you for sharing your time, creativity, heart, experiences, and writing with the Writing.Com community!

Once again, happy anniversary month! I hope the year ahead is filled with blessings and joy for you!

May love, joy and peace be yours in abundance!
