Review of Mosquito  Open in new Window.
Rated: 18+ | (5.0)
Man! The waitress is about to spread some chaos before the night is through. Great story telling. If pastense or presenters, the reader catches on quickly to the horror about to befall the unwitting customers in the diner.

Review of Small Unknown  Open in new Window.
Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
What a way to go! Scary stuff man.

Your story keeps the reader wanting more so that's a plus.

Try and keep your stories Presentense without mixing in Pastense. That way the story will not sound like something that happened days, months or years ago. You want the reader to feel as if the story is unfolding right before their eyes.

Example: Rey pulled out his books from his gym locker and put them on the floor in front of it.

Try this: Rey pulls out his books from his gym locker and places them on the floor in front of it.

You use asked when you would be better off using asks, said when maybe says is needed, answered when maybe answers is needed and so on. Presentense, my brotha. Go over your story again and you will find many corrections are needed in that area.

Let me know if this technique makes a difference to your gift of story telling.

Peace

Hello, Wolfgang. You are on the right track. I notice that during the letter sequence, you use a ton of quotations. You wouold be better off turning that sequence of events into (i)italics(/i). If ya try it, you'll see how incredibly it works out. Using (i)italics will allow you to rid yourself of those quotation marks during the letter writing section(/i).

Overall, ya done good kiddo.

Review of Item Statistics  Open in new Window.
Rated: ASR | (5.0)
I am very satisfied with your explanation of the stats. I was stumped with the Unique Writing.com Members until you explained it in the following example:
Unique Writing.Com Members: This is the number of individual Writing.Com members who viewed the item. For example, The StoryMistress , kudzu in a can and waterbaby are 3 unique Writing.Com members. If The StoryMistress read my item 3 more times, my Member Views stat would increase by 3 while my Unique Members statistic would NOT increase at all. This is because each member's view is only counted 1 time in the Unique Members stat and The StoryMistress was ALREADY counted from her first viewing.

As usual, you very thorough. Thanks a bunch.

Here's what I have found:

And had had sworn < And had sworn

Hope this helps, my brotha. :) I love this job.

Review of The Sun Goes Nova  Open in new Window.
Rated: E | (4.5)
Interesting story. the ending baffled me because I was left with wandering why a couple of people disappeared. What of the little family? What of the Super Nova? I had hoped to find out by reading this story til the end. I just hope there is more to it than there is at present. I really did get into it. And we all know that one day this planet will blow up like pop rocks.

Typos I've found:

left in tem < ten

it was very crowed with al < crowded/all

were a hooker < comma

not sexy < comma

Hope this helps

Review of All That Matters  Open in new Window.
Rated: E | (5.0)
Thia story is was well written. The love a little girl showed to an elderly, sickly lady turned out to be love that she in fact ultimately showed to herslf. Sounds a bit confusing, I know, but once you've read this story, you'll understand.

Great Job!!!

Review of Awardicons Info  Open in new Window.
Rated: E | (5.0)
This webpage was meticulously written by its author. It gives me great pleasure to announce to the world at how wonderful Writing.Com is. Authors telling original stories, poets weaving words to make us think. There is so much that I have learned here because frankly, Writing.Com makes learning to better your style of writing, your English and being reviewed and critiqued, fun.

Review of Noticing Newbies  Open in new Window.

Well done explanations. You have provided excellent links to great resources by basically holding the hands of the reader as you walk them through the site. Very important stuff for all Newbies because initially, the Writing.Com website is like being on another world. Without roadmappers, such as yourself, Newbies would have to slowly navigate through the myriads of info here on this website. We thank you for your hard work and concern for us.

Review of Circle of Crime  Open in new Window.
Rated: 18+ | (5.0)
This story unfolded well as it progressed. I found myself intrigued by it, so I read on to find out why mysterious deaths were popping up, and why two little boys were on the run. The dialogue between the characters seemed realistic, depending on whatever circumstances arose during the thickening plot.

I like how the author was meticulous in how the paragraphs were spaced so that the reader could tell, without a doubt, which character was reacting or speaking. Well done.

This is thought provoking stuff. You may wish to add proof of similarities of each religion that you have mentioned to your reader. They,(we), want proof that you are indeed knowlegeable on this subject. It's a creditability thing.

You have a few misspellings and you have doubled a word (the the true God)

The first letter at the beginning of a sentence is always a Cap.

so in closing < change to > So, in closing

Check everything out.

Within your second to the last paragraph, starting at See he has, you have a run on sentence. Needs many commas.

Hope this helps.

I loved you once < quotation

needed a drink, a n in-law < close up the word an

Hope this helps

Bathroom humor. You dogged me out. (LOL) I thought I was reading something about spies or detectives.
