Hi,
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to review {i{ Zuk and Zob - A Fable For Our Time. I enjoyed reading it very much. It captured my attention right away and held it to the very end. I laughed all the way through. I thought the satire wad great.

The characters were well developed, and the story was well written. I cannot offer any suggestions for improvements because the story does not warrant it.

My favorite line: The clubsmen's scowls faded as they set down their clubs and the gift baskets, and began to look around seeking the fairest, or at least cleanest of cavewomen about.
this line really made me laugh.

Great work!
Chrys

Hi, *Wave*

I'll take that "chilled Bourbon" *BigSmile*.

I was "peaking" through who was online and came across your name. I also snuck into your port. and came across The Little Big Man and I enjoyed reading very much.

It grabbed my attention at the very beginning and held until the end. I enjoyed the pace, the characters, and the plot. I thought each of these areas was developed thoroughly.

I thought the story was well written, and I can not offer any suggestions for improvement because I feel the story doesn't warrant any improvement.

Excellent work,

Chrys O'Shea

Review of Collage  Open in new Window.

Hello Sumojo,

I am Kristina, and I am here to give you a "Game of Thrones" Open in new Window. review and rate it. I came across your poem, Collage while surfing those who maintain black cases. I enjoyed reading it very much and I hope you find this feedback useful.

I thought the imagery was very well done. You did a wonderful job mixing and showing memories and a mother's love. It was easy for me to visualize an elderly mother looking at old photographs of her children with smiling eyes, and remembering a specific memory of each one.

Your word choices and figurative language was very effective. The words flowed smoothly and it was easy to read. I saw no issues with grammar, spelling, and/or punctuation.

The mood produces an emotional warm feeling for the reader while the tone follows the author's thoughts.

Suggestion: I feel that the title, Collage, and brief description don't quite live up to this piece. While it is your piece and you decide what works, I think one of your lines - 'My love, my life' would make a good description to intrigue the reader to click.

I can not offer any suggestions for improvements because I think the poem is well-written.

Write On!

Hi Robert,

Congratulations on your Account Anniversary next month. This is a "Game of Thrones" Open in new Window. review and I am sending it to in honor of your Anniversary.

Positives:

I thought this story was well written. It captured my attention from the beginning and held it to the ending. The ending, I add, was a complete surprise to me. I thought the POV was well done and well balanced with the dialogue. The setting descriptions were very vivid and work very well with time place, and other setting characteristics.

I felt the characters were well developed and believable and your word choice and sentence structure very good. The dialogue was believable and flowed smoothly.

Grammer/Spelling/Punctuation: I saw no issues with Grammer/Spelling or Punction.

I enjoyed the technique of not identifying the where abouts of the book except through the possibilities thought by the author, and I felt it was most effective.

What I liked best were the two librarians, Helen and Slyvia.
I thought your descriptions were very good. They reminded me of the two librarians I have dealings here in my hometown.

Suggestions:
I cannot offer any suggestions for improvement because I feel the piece does not warrant any. Again I thought it was well written.

Review of Throwing Rocks  Open in new Window.

Rated: E | (5.0)
Hello!
FaeThorned Author IconMail Icon

I came across your story, Throwing Rocks while surfing Read a Newbie. I enjoyed reading it very much. This is an "Game of Thrones" Open in new Window. review, and I hope you find this a helpful feedback.

Overall Impression:

This story is very entertaining. It was easy to see a young, mischievous boy playing in a massive junkyard, letting his imagination dictate his play, until his fantasy turns to reality. The story was written in 3rd person and you did an excellent job of bringing in dialogue.

The main character, Little Jimmy was written very well. He was excellently developed and believable. The characters of his parents were also believable. You portrayed them as not dirt poor but rather they were able to make a decent living. They are a country folk. The audience is made to feel at home watching this family.


Plot:

The plot follows a young boy left to care for and entertain himself until his parents return. This isn't the first time. He plays his usual games until a meteor crashes with a small alien aboard in his yard.

This plot is well developed and carried out and immediately captured my interest.


Style/Tone:

Actually your style and tone was my favorite. I thought your word choice was very good. It portrayed the characters well and made them even more believable. Your choice of everyday "down home" language was great. I found your word choice easy to relate too. Your sentence structure was very good.


Scene/Setting:

All were very good and worked well together.


Grammar/Spelling/Punctuation:

I saw no issues in this area.

Characters:

Very well-created and developed.


Dialogue:

Dialogue was smooth and well-balanced.


Suggestions:

I have none to offer.

What I liked the best was the description of the alien and the very last sentence. *Laugh*

Hi Gervic,

This is a "Game of Thrones" Open in new Window. Review.

I chose your shop because I have talked with you previously and have been curious about what is being offered.

My opinion of said C-Note Shop: You have a large assortment of beautiful C-Notes to offer. The six categories of notes, from Animated Get-Well Notes to Painted Birthday Cards, are awesome. I looked through them, and I must confess, I couldn't choose just one favorite, as I liked them all. I am, however, taken with the first Thank you note.
Your artmanship is fantastic and I commend you on it. They are just beautiful.

I have been looking around because I want to send some notes to members at Wdc.

Keep up the great work,

Kristina

Name of Poem: Flowers of the Field
Name of Author: J. R. Pete

Hello, I came across your poem in Browse by Type under Poetry. I enjoyed reading it. I hope you find this feedback useful.
Overall Impression: I loved this poem. I thought it was very well written. It made feel warm and happy. I also thought it to be very creative when writing the poem, the first letter in each line spelled the title of the poem downward.

Message/Theme: The message is that the cycle of life depends on the balance of nature: the soil nutrients, the rain, the sun, and the bees.

Narrative/Style: The narrative is a small poem that shows how the balance of nature provides the cycle of life for the children of the field—the flowers.

The style is warm and emotional.

Form/flow: The form is a 17-line free verse poem.

The flow follows the author's thoughts and is appreciative.

The mood reflects on the reader as warm and happy.

Imagery/Pace: The imagery was excellent. It is very important for the reader to visualize a field of flowers, all colors, and the bees and rain doing their part.

The pace is smooth, making it easy to follow and read the piece.

My Favorite Line:

Life and regrowth from season to season; from daylight to darkness; from past to present.

Review of Mystic Eyes  Open in new Window.

In affiliation with The WDC Angel Army  Open in new Window.
Rated: E | (4.5)
Name of Poem: Mystic Eyes
Name of Author: JMW

Hello, I found your poem through the Browse by Genre under Mysteries. I enjoyed reading it, and I hope you find this feedback useful.

Message/Theme: The author is being jilted by someone he is attracted to. His thoughts are directed more to himself. Good word choice delivers the meaning effectively.

Narrative/Style: The narrative is a small poem that tells how someone across the room is teasing him, and he views her presence as a blessing at first and, later, a curse.

Form/flow: The form is sestet.
The flow follows the author's thoughts.

Tone: The author's attitude is soft and wishful at first by the person across the room and, after continuous teasing, becomes hardened.

Mood: the mood makes the reader feel both sorrow and anger.

Imagery/Pace: The imagery is vivid with figurative language.
The pace is smooth.

My Favorite Line:

Your mystic eyes—like fireflies—float through the room like blessings.

I like the sound, the analogy, and the simile to portray it.

I thought it was well written and read smoothly. I saw no issues with spelling or punctuation, so I cannot offer any suggestions for change.

Hello Zoe, I just visited your port and read Echoes of Tomorrow - Part One. I enjoyed reading it very much. I hope you find this feedback useful.

Overall Impression - I was very impressed with your story. It captured my attention from the start and held it to the end. I thought you described the setting very well, and it was easy to feel the main character, Skylar Arc, hurt and frustrated.

Title: - The title fits the content of the story.

Premise: - Transforming her grief into action, Skylar Arc adopts Nightingale's persona.

Plot: This story's plot is about a young girl grieving over the death of her parents. They were both killed in an explosion that was planned. Their work and their dreams were destroyed. She decided to avenge their deaths by fighting the corruption that had killed them. This plot interested me very much.

Format: The piece is formatted to make it easy to read and understand.

Dialogue: The dialogue flowed very smoothly

Characters: I have only met the main character, Skylar Arc. She is very believable.

Scene/Setting: Both work very well together.

Grammar/Spelling/Punctuation: I saw no issues within this area.

Suggestions: I cannot offer any because the piece does not warrant it. I felt it was very good and well-written.

Write On!

Hi,
         I am Kristina, and I came across your story on the Hub page under Recent Review Requests.

I enjoyed reading it very much. It caught my attention immediately, and the story held my attention to the end.

It was easy for me to relate to the hurt feelings of the young woman and understand the joy and comfort that Cookie provided.

I saw no errors, and I feel the story was well written. The only suggestion I feel compelled to offer is to bring in and focus on one or two specifics on how Cookie pulled the young woman through some dark times.

Good job! *BigSmile*

Write On,

Kristina

Hi,
I came across your writing in the 11/15/23 For Authors Newsletter.

I enjoyed it very much. It grabbed my attention right away and held it to the end. The ending surprised and pleased me.

I saw no errors and cannot offer any suggestions for improvement because the piece does not warrant any.

This was very good and well-written.

Write On,

Hi,

I came across your essay Thoughts On The 1830 Indian Removal Act," on the Hub Page. As a Cherokee American (Wolf Clan), I immensely enjoyed reading it. I found it to be entirely accurate and non-biased. The information given was accurately reported.

It was very well-written and in need of no suggestions. I noticed you are new to WDC. Welcome, and I hope to read more of your work.

Write On! *BigSmile*

Hi,

If I can stop laughing long enough to get this written. *Laugh**BigSmile**Laugh*

I stopped in your port tonight. I am a people-person and I love to learn about people.
I came across "Chicken Coyote" Anyone? and I loved it. I laughed all the way through. I thought it was very well written as well as on point.
Excellent work! I enjoyed it very much.

Kristina
