Review of Passing Trains  Open in new Window.

Rated: E | (4.5)
Hi, Purple,

I just finished reading your excellent short story, "Passing Trains." Elizabeth became a real person only after a few sentences. Your description of the little boy on the train was also believable. The story had an interesting ending with Elizabeth's deep feeling. That is what I thought about your poem. I'm not a poet, but know what I like.
Yours,
Lesley

I just fishished reading your excellent piece of poetry, "Stormy Mind." I see a lot of that within myself, too.

I especially liked the last verse, " I know I have no clude what it all means for me; I wonder if the two of us will ever be; I fear more hurt is all I will incur...And choose to suffer through it all for a chance with her." That is so romantic. Maybe the chartacter should approach her and just say "Hi," and your name. At least she is alive, my only love is gone for good in a housefire.

I just finished reading your story about, "My Entry ---WDC's Birthday. So far, your writing is different from the others I've been reading. It is straight to the point and wishes ?WDC a Happy Birthday. Most of us wrote stories that took a lot more words and paragrphs to set up their stories. You a have a good chance of winning, as you probably know by now.

I enjoyed reading your story about "Thems that Walk Among us." The couple should have pained extra for a realtor. The parade of potential buyers were nuts that all they could do was find fault with the condo. The part about the strange lady, rubbing against the wall, making orgasmic noises because she needed a certain kind of paint was a real side spitter. I felt bad for the couple who couldn't find a buyer, but the story was just too funny!

I just finished reading your interesting story, "Alone." I was such a good read, I am sure my husband would also like to read your story. It started out with Jim having some bad luck with the garaged door, but he walked outside and cranked up the truck left under a tree. At least the vehicle would be so hot.

THis Movie page is great. I am glad I'm not the only Muppet fan. I noticed Maryann watches plenty of movies. I don't understand how she can find the time! She is so involved in so many acfivities here, at WDC. Honestly, I think she must only sleep a few hours a day.
I hope someone rents my favorie movie, "Prieval." It is action packed and the croc is too cool.

I always enjoy reading your stories, Gottagoose. The Prologe of "Keeping the Demons out," was just one more example of your talent.
One night, when he was very drunk, Kurt made the mistake of opening the door to the demons. Luckily, the crowd was able to takle the one demon and everything was fine.

Close to one hundred years later, citizens left Thurgaad and made a good home for themselves on the coast. But the loose demons found out and decided to pay the new town a visit.

Dear Scotty,

I just finished reading your romantic poem, "Porcelain Hands." I am sure that your fiancee is very much in love with you because you are a sensitive person who wants to give her everything. The verses are all romantic and smooth to read.
I hope you get married soon and do keep on writing her romantic poetry.

Hi, I just finished reading your poem "The Wild Feline." It was well written and flowed smoothly. I never gave a lot of thought that my cats worry about direction. I guess they don't need to. THey have me. But comparing domestic felines with wild felines shouldn't be too much of a stretch.

Hi, Maryann!

Your pups sure are cute, just as you promised. Is the black dog a lab or is he a mix? How old is he? From the picture, it appears he has some graying on his muzzle. The little guy is precious! He must be under a year old? By his markings, he is probably a bull dog or boxer mix. I am sure they know they are lucky to have you as a mom!
Love,
Lesley

Rated: 13+ | N/A (Review only item.)
Hello, Ann!

Your writing is always a boost. I am not a bit predjudiced about gay people. I know many and they are just as good as I am --- they are better. My lesbian friends are all committed couples and either have their own
business, or they operate a farm togeather. None of my lesbian friends have ever hit on me. I loved having such loyal friends who respect my opinions and would back me up, even if it means a sacrifice.

I've had a number of gay male friends and it was fun to go shopping and listen to Butch tell me about the men he liked and why. But he only wanted nameless, faceless sex. I still love him. He was a good friend when it counted.

I am glad you are a lesbian. It gives you an edge on straight people. Even though you are gay, you should be able to empathize with straight females, and probably straight males. I don't know. It is just my opinion from experience. I have watched as minds become more flexible toward Gays and Lesbians. Though so many hate them, but the rest of us appreciate gay people and the important role they are to the world.

All of my gay friends and I have lost touch with each other. My cousin, Jerry, is probably my best gay friend right now. He and I are so much alike, and we both love to go to the pool and watch the cute guys. Christine and I talk about guys from high school and how she wished she'd had the treatment and surgery sooner. Mostly we are always coming up with other conversations about books we've read, our favorite author, movies, TV and our therapy.

We are both ADHD/Bipolar and other than her medication for her Aids, we both take the same meds. I love talking to her though some people can't keep up with her racing mind. She is literally a Genius so I guess I must be smart enough to understand, but I have a relatively high IQ, but not near Genius.

Gotta go for now. I am working on my last story for now, about my first kiss. Livestock and reptiles don't count.

Later, My Friend!

Hi,

I just finished reading your story, "Seven Days." I didn't expect the interesting story line about Rae and Emily. It was very supernatural and kept my attention. I thought is was cool, the way you presented Dreamland and its denizens. The characters were interesting. I can tell you put a lot of work into this story and it paid off.

Review of Pinky the Rat  Open in new Window.

Rated: 18+ | (4.5)
The story of Pinky was very enjoyable and funny. I like the style and descriptions and would like to be able to paint a picture with words like you. The story was especially good to me because we had twenty three pet rats for a few years. Thank God rats don't live long. We have one left and she is growing old and feeble.

I remember what a rat bite feels like, too. Sometimes, my fingers would bleed for days and I would go through a lot of bandaids. Now, my African Grey Parrot savages me every chance he gets. His bite is worse than a rat bite.

I loved reading your story.

Yours,
Lesley

Hello,

I just finished reading about the unusual love story about Majah and the Greek soldier. I am reading a book about different religions and India is said to be extremely rich in spirtual diversity. The Indians have a number of different religions, they are at peace with one anothers' beliefs. The religions all have the same goals and alll reach the same conclusion.

Majah's story is romantic. I wonder if her hero makes his way back.

Yours,
Lesley

Hello, Jimmy,

Chapter six of "Bilfrost Bridge" was excellent. I love the way the Valkyries and Thor took care of those nasty trolls and got ride of Loki. Both little princesses are very bold and clever. You said that your daughers inspired the story. I need to be inspired to write most of the time. I remember something I think is cool and sit down and write.

I am looking forward to Chapter eight.

Yours,
Lesley

Hello, Meenie,

I loved your "Little Bear" story. I know how she feels to lose her marriage and the pain and anger it brings. But I forgave my ex for leaving me for my best friend. Now, we still talk on the phone and send each other birthday and Christmas cards.

Yours,
Lesley

Hello, Daniel,

I just finished reading your first chapters of "Crossing the Lines." I enjoyed meeting Samuel Jones, the media mogul. He seemed like a real person and reminds me of the time I spent as a newspaper reporter for "The Nashville Graphic." It was a rural area bi-weekly paper for Nash County in NC, not Tn.

The way Genie Gallow died was very dramatic. I look forward to reading more of your book.

Sincerely,
Lesley Scott

Chapter five and six captured my imagination and I am glad Silje is okay. She is a fiesty little princess. Both she and Hanne are very brave. I am sure she and the Valkiries ( i can't spell) will save her and Norway from Loki. It is funny that Cliff had a dog named Odin and I had a horse named Thor.

I have to go outside again. The bunnies and Fredio, the guinea pig and the four laying hens need my attention. Timmy, the parrot, is talking up a storm. He still hates me and loves Cliff.
Bye for now.

I really did enjoy chapter Four of the Bifrost Bridge. You paint a picture with words and the magic is believable in this story. I am glad to see that Hanne escaped Loki with her magic shoes. Also, the length of your chapters is pleasing. I have ADHD and find myself overwhelmed by long stories. I am going to ready the next chapter to find out what happens to Silje next.

HI,

I just fnished reading Chapter one and two. I am getting to know the Royal Family and you paint a picture with words. I also loved you illustrations. This book is easy and fun to read. The setting is novel to me, though. I never really studied the Vikings. THanks for writing about them.
Your Friend,

I am hooked! This is such a great story. I was taken into a land of wonder and fantasy. It is, as I read before, a marvelous weaving of fantacy with reality. I will read it to my husband. He loves this type of story. I usually read spiritual and self help books.

I just finished your poem and it felt like you wrote it just for me. As I was busy making guessed for our upcoming marriage at work, I was sitting along beside his empty desk. I wondered why he was late. My supervior somberly gave me the news.

For about a year, I would dream he was still alive. I also felt like wherever I went we was with me. Your poem made me think of him being with me. Thanks for putting it into words.

Sorry I didn't read all of your pages. You understand. But I was so pleased to enter my two cents worth. I've been into the Tao Te Ching for many years and it is a path to life and relaxing bliss. Tao Te Ching was written by a wise Chinese man name Lao Tzo. The Tao was supposed to be a guide line for warriers. It is, if the warror's read the book. It has been translated close to those of the Bible and almost as many volumes sold.
READ it! I will help relax and soothe your mind and body.

My computer keeps taking me to Facebook before I finished this message. This is a great idea to make friends, know your friends and have them know you as well. On the survey I just jotted down what few people know. But I know you won't tell. We go for years without being to gether, but talk by phone.
Love you Group!

I just finished reading the story, My heart Still beats for you."I had a choise not to add to the overpopulated world. As they always say, " you become whaf you think."So I tried to change my position, but failed each time. I read a lot of books, TV and gave the matter of the cons ans to the pros.The prose won the prise. Iam happy for both of you and with some good counseling, the family unit will be stronger than usual.
