I am reviewing:
Guillain-Barre Syndrome 1984-1985 Open in new Window. (18+)
My 9.5 month battle with a rare neurological disorder called "Guillain-Barre Syndrome"

Now on to the review!


Hello Lorenr Author IconMail Icon,

The only suggestions I have are: Bold each section such as Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago. (RIC) I would put what Guillain-Barre Syndrome is at the beginning of the piece so that you can understand more about what you went through as you read this piece. The more information you read about before what has happened to you the better it will be to understand. You could put this in a separate static item so that if they want to learn more you can link it to this item for more information.

Please read on to hear what I have to say about this! This was a touching story that I think EVERYONE should read about! I would have went into more detail on my reaction to this whole story and the info. I would have just gave the whole Item away and no one would have to read this! I think this an IMPORTANT story for others to read!

***********


First of all, I wanted to say that I am so glad that you made it through all of this to be able to write about your experience with Guillain-Barre Syndrome. Pink Floyd's lyrics definitely fit what you have gone through with this disorder! I feel for you so much while reading this! I am so glad that in 9.5 months you were able to battle this! Most Preteens would have not have made it that long. I agree with you that is the age where you want to die and not face the fight of dealing with this disorder because it is so new. You have done a great job with giving out information of what procedures should be done to help speed up the process of getting back your mobility along with being able to function live as a preteen or older!

I started to cry as I was reading this because of all the pain you were going through to fight this disorder. Its amazing how you fought for your body as it was becoming paralyzed in a matter of hours. Not being able to communicate at all with any function of your body. Being trap in your own body, in my opinion is the same as being trapped in an addiction you cant do anything to stop because you are given the prescription every month. Doctors not listening to you tell them that it is not working anymore until you find one that is listening.

I can sympathize with not being able to walk with the one leg being numb because that was about the same time I was diagnosed with "Hyperthyroidism." Doctors not knowing if my leg would get the feeling back or not. Being on crutches for a few months. All though your disorder was more damaging then mine, I can understand where your coming from. Especially when the drs had no idea what anything was becuase it being so new...

I could picture everything you were struggling from as you described this and no one understand that you just wanted your nose scratched. Having to go through all of the ABC's just to tell them this. Using your eyebrows and lips to do simple words like "yes and no" to communicate...frustrated because you cant just say "Yes or No" Everyone doesn't realize how much communication is taking for granted until they are in a situation where they are not able to but to use their eye brows or their lips like you had to do during this time.

Wow about the Fly, you would think they would have tried more to keep this from happening! I got sick to my stomach for a second, and your parents were alot better than my Father would have been. He would have had the papers already there for them to sign... I do agree that Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago is one of the best. I used to live in Northern Indiana and had a friend of mine go there for rehab after surgery with spina bifida.

I am so glad that you were able to make so many friends through your stay at RIC...Love the nurse stories, especially the one with Timmy and his mom! I am glad that you were able to help Juan with getting better too. Its amazing how much you take for granted until something traumatic happens to you! I am glad that you did follow what the dr said and you did WALK out of RIC like they said!

************


Please everyone read the information about what the symptoms and other wonderful information he has put in this so you could possibly understand what he has gone through. Also click on the link below from the "Mayo Clinic" to read more! This is one of the best places to get information from including myself for my thyroid and auto immune disorder.

Color Blind Open in new Window. (13+)
A woman's thoughts on interracial relationships - a love against all odds.

Now on to the review!


kiyasama,

First of all, I have to say this is a beautiful love story of a biracial relationship! Its sad when you have to "hide" relationship with your family because of the acceptance. I am glad that the woman is happy to be with him no matter what everyone says. This is the way you really find out who your "true" friends are.

I hate that the woman had to experience this! I hope that if this is based on a true story of some one you know, it will work out family racial prejudice. I hope that both of the families will accept you both and nothing happens. Its ashame when family racism does occur.

I have seen it personally with my ex husbands one uncle. Now I have already expressed to my ex how my kids will not be around him at all. If they are I will call for someone to come get them from there.

Now for the other review parts:

Everything you have written about in this story can be seen as you read the item. The emotion in this portrayed in gave the best imagery I have seen in a long time. I love the emotion between the character and her boyfriend. To learn from the experience when he picked her up at the beauty shop with her friends. The response of her friends really shows the picture of what happens if you were right there getting your hair done.

I believe that you could make this into a longer items and hope to see what happens when they decided not to hide their relationship. I hope that their families are proud that hey have found someone to love for their rest of their lives.

Thank you for sharing this with everyone her on WDC! It really makes others think what is really important in life. That your family really can show racism that you have never seen before!

Have a great night!

If you would like to know more about that experience I can let you know. I do not want to clog up this review with my story.

Hello ShiShad Author IconMail Icon,


I am reviewing your item for
 Invalid Item Open in new Window.
This item number is not valid.
#1482151 by Not Available.
!

This is an AWESOME poem!! I love the imagery in this as you read from stanza to stanza!! You have tons of description in here that can be pictured as you go from stanza to stanza. You keep the readers attention as you show the imagery and the story about the "Phanthom of the Hallows."

The picture you have with this poem really puts the finishing touches! You can hear the horse clopping as he is being instructed to go through the hallows to seek out the dead souls!

I love how you talk about this being the eve of "All Saints Day." I have learned from another item that I have reviewed abouttthis holiday. Adding the little bit of history really put the touch to this poem!

What I really like is that you have written a story based off this poem which I will have to come back and take a look at!

Miscellaneous Items:


There is a nice flow from word to word in this! Stanzas keep the readers attention from one to the next. Each stanza has enough eerie feeling as you are read through it and see the picture in your mind!!

Have a great weekend!!

TRICK AND TREAT!



Hello Leanne Author IconMail Icon,

Its all Hallow Eve!

It's AllHallows Eve
lets begin with a fright
as the undead creatures
move through the night

closeall your windows
and lock up your doors
a werwolfis prowling
along the dark moors

Screams of horror
fill the night air
as ghosties and ghoulies
circle the fair

but why have they come here?
whatdo they seek?
the answer, the question,
a trick or a treat?

They move through the town
striking fear as they go
then start to retreat
to their home down below

The night draws to end
and the creatures retire
The moon's light has gone
The food they require.

It's quiet and calm
and all is serene
so until next year
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am have read your
 It's all Hallows Eve Open in new Window. [E]
Halloween poetry fun.
by Leanne Author Icon
! I have ran this threw spell check and grammar check. I went ahead and bolded the items that were misspelled or correcting letter to a Uppercase. If for some reason it does not show up on the review as I copy and past this back from my word-processing program. I will also list it below stanza by stanza.

First Stanza:

The first stanza has “All” bolded and should be “all” lower case “a.” The flow of the words are not rushed. It does give you the sense of Halloween night of fright! I could picture the creatures come out from the dead moving through the night! I think if you follow the comment below you could really make this spookier as you start the poem. The reader will stay right there with the whole poem.

!
you could add more frightening emotional imagery into this to really feel the sense of creatures from the undead!
!

Second stanza

The word that is bolded is what you need to correct. That way they really know who is coming out to see them…

I would add some punctuation to this stanza. When you are reading it out loud, this just goes like there is not stop.

This way you can have some awesome imagery if you are descriptive with this stanza. Writing more about the werewolf and how frightful he is would be awesome…really give attention to what the werewolf is doing or what he looks like!

Third stanza

I love the imagery in this stanza. You have done a great job! I have to say the only problem I see is that you have no punctuation. This makes it hard to tell which part is the most exciting part! If it is the screams of horrors or the ghosts and ghouls in the circle of night? I think if you put some punctuation you will be able to let the imagery work better and stays

Fourth Stanza

I would rewrite the this stanza because it is pretty meek. You need to add more to this stanza to keep this readers attention. If you don’t the reader is not going to go on with the poem. You could turn the questions into a descriptive sentences. I am just again suggesting and nothing more.

Fifth Stanza

This stanzas makes you want to ask who is “They?” This again is meek and doesn’t keep the readers attention at all. Again this stanza needs some punctuation. This would really help the reader as they are reading. This becomes a run on sentence that is now something that is tiredsome to read.

Sixth Stanza

Again you have one “.” and all the sentences are running together. This has some great imagery with the creatures, moons, and food being gone. This really can make a great picture in your mind as you see the Halloween end.

Seventh Stanza

This is a great part and one of my favorites as you can see this as they are getting everything done for Halloween until Next year! Error wise there is nothing wrong!!

Best Parts of the Poem:

Screams of horror
fill the night air
as ghosties and ghoulies
circle the fair
---------------------------

It's quiet and calm
and all is serene
so until next year
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Both of these stanzas show imagery through out for the reader to want to keep reading the poem. You can hear the screams in the night air! Ghosties and Ghoulies are out to play! I love how you transition to the end of Halloween, all the calmness and serene in the air!!!

Have a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Hello tracey blanchard Author IconMail Icon

TRICK AND TREAT


This is a great article about where Halloween came from! I think that you did an excellent job with using several countries. I love how you explained the reason why they have Halloween. I cant wait to discuss these different countries.



The one of two most interesting parts of this article:

"The Celtics 1st celebrated Halloween in Ireland. They had celebrated the Samhain festival in which this was the end of summer and their harvest and the beginning of the long winter. The Samhain Day represents a day when the living and the dead walked the earth together at night. The dead were in the form of souls or apparitions."

I thought this was interesting because this was a festival of the living and the dead walke together on earth. What the dead represents. I also thought that this had some really good information. I love to learn new things in articles! This was really AWESOME to learn about the Celtics!

The second most interesting part of this article:

"The American customs are not much different. It had started with All Saints Day in England. They held a parade and the poor people would beg for food. People would oblige them and give them "Soul Cakes" with a promise the poor would pray for the people's deceased family.

This tradition was passed down to "going-a-souling." The children in the village would dress up in homemade costumes and go from house to house and ask for money and food. Hence, today's tradition with the costumes that people buy or make and wear door to door. This is a night even for adults to dress up and act as silly as their children. I do every year and nobody knows who I am."


This is pretty cool to know that in England, the All Saints Day the poor were given the "Soul Cakes" and in return would pray for the persons deceased family! That is just awesome to have the poor receiving food and the only thing they had to do was pray for that familys deceased relatives.

I am one that is really into showing kids that there are always ways to help others, along with getting a night of treats. I also am always into making your own costumes to how that it can be a family holiday!

Miscellaneous Items:

I did see a few mispelled errors. Nothing that can not be fixed through spell check. Also reading from the end back to the beginning of the article can help. Reading out loud will also help too.

I would maybe give a bibliography of where you found your information. This way others who might be interested can look too.

I remember all the years I went with my parents and my siblings! My dad was the most hilarious out all of us when he would dress up! We always made this a family affair!

Thank you for writing an article that helps others learn about "Halloween" in many other countries!!

Have a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Hello SHERRI GIBSON Author IconMail Icon,

Trick and Treat
!

I have to say this is the scary poem as bubby put it! He was also giggling as he saying that! He really did enjoy this and I had fun reading this to him! The twinkle in his eyes as I read each stanza wondering what was going to be next!

We could both picture the evil just like in the commercials of the haunted houses. The Catacombs Haunted House downtown, we pass this on the bus. They have a huge Pumpkin! He watches the commercials! They are his favorite shows.LOL!

I love the imager as you can see the Witches and Ghouls as they are waiting for Halloween to come so they can play! You can see the witches cauldron brewing with all the spells!

I think that the second stanza of this poem! I love all the imagery with the witches have their cauldrons brewing and waiting for you to come so they can cast their demonic spells! See as the evil dwells in the black house!

Have a great night!! Have a great week!!

I think that first of all this was not what I was expecting reading this! In fact I cant go into detail of the review with out actually giving way the ending!

I really like that imagery in this and how the person was surprised. I think that you could use a little more emotional description in the imagery. I saw no spelling errors or punctuation. I think the dialogue is awesome and kept the readers attention through out the conversation!

I really love the ending and cant wait for others to read this too! That is the part that was really cool and forever!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN


Hello COUNTRYMOM Author IconMail Icon,

This is a cute Halloween poem! I hope that you won the Newsletter contest that year! I love that you did this one being "Bewitched!" I love the imagery that you have describing in this poem!

The only suggestion I have is maybe go back and read this again and more emotional imagery in this as you read this. I am letting you know what I see as I read this stanza by stanza. This might help with descriptions in some of the stanzas. Just suggestions...

You could feel the "Howling winds" as you read through the first stanza. Listening to the "black cat screaming" on the dark and moonless night gave me chills as I read this in the first stanza! These were my favorites out of the first stanza.

In the second stanza I love the part about you being bewitched for sure! I also loved that parts about the dogs howling, ghosts, and the demons. My favorite line is the last line: "Give me a scare, and no way out!"

In the third stanza, I have to say it is my favorite stanza out of the whole poem! I love the look of Black cat's eyes with terror! I can imagine what the monsters look like in the mirror! Of course my monsters are little ones...

I see little monsters with white faces and purple hair. I see some others that are green eyed like the green eyed monter! I see the witches brew bubbling as the witch is stirring the ingrediants to cast the spell! I watch wondering what the spell is going to be as it is casted!

In the fourth stanza, I love the haunting music as it playing and see the ghosts knocking to come in to the party! Seeing the terror over everyone, made the chills go down my back! The hideous cackles had me looking around to see who it is....

In the fifth stanza, I love how you have the howling winds, death, dust and deep decay disapper! Knowing that you will no longer be Bewitched when the first light of dawn comes! You made it through the night of terrors!

Again this is a cute poem! Something that you might want to go back and look at adding some more emotional descriptons! This will help add more imagery to this!!

Have a great day!!

Hello Colin Back on the Ghost Roads Author IconMail Icon,

First of all I wanted to let you know that there are few spelling errors. These could easily be fixed by just by reading over this from the end to the top. I had a teacher in highschool who told us to do this. Its amazing how my find many little mistakes that you didnt see it as you are writing and typing.

On to the rest of your review! These are all cute ideas to easily decorate a classroom, room for a party, or even outside! I love the ghost idea...I am going to see if my 5 yearold and I could do that with the garbage bag and have a Ghost on our Tree. The neighbor has a witch that has ran into the tree!

I love the snake, spiders, and cat idea! I have think my son and I would have lots of fun doing this...we could go and get some cheap trash bags to do these!

The card idea and other decorations being only the cost of the printer is another good idea! I know that teachers end up using alot of their own money to help with decorations! I am all for almost free ideas for decorating the house!

Have a Great Day!!

This is going to be great to go and read all the events in the series along with the Goldman series too. I have been looking forward to reading all of this straight through!

You deserve to have this publish and hope that you are heading toward this so that this becomes a book series or even for now an eBook series...I will be one of the first to get these!!!

I love that you are working with Jack Goldman Author IconMail Icon with the Jack Goldman series for this! I look forward to reading more of these stories in the next few months...

Now on to the review!


First of thank you for reviewing on of the poems from my newest addiction opened a few months back....

I have to say that this is the most hilarious way to let someone know how much fun it is to take kids on a camping trip. Then trying to prove that parenting isn't that hard at all! I had to laugh when I saw what Jack said to you, assuming this, about the whole idea of the camping trip...I hope that Victoria was very understanding after the whole camping trip was over and she was able to bath and all...

I love the descriptions through out the whole story. I love the way you described little Nick...you could see the look on him as you read this...glad that he didnt get hurt from the chopping incident. I know that this will be something that he will be able to read someday to show that he did go camping and anyone can get hurt almnost. Having his little words being spoken was really cute since that is the best age when they are learning to talk...They pick up on everything!!!

I like how you properly taught Josh how to cut the wood so that he would not get hurt...Except for the minor detail of Nick going flying and safely landing with the bumber gards that pampers make with pine needles...Love the description of yourself as you are writing about your fire experience, along with the making sticks for the smores!

On to what I think you need more of and are only comments:

I think describing more about the cabin, outdoors and the kids would be a great idea so that you can really picture them.

Description of each of the kids would be great, you mentioned most, but that was it just their name...

Try describing Victoria some more so that we know why you want to to know that the having kids is so much fun. Definitely more description on what she was wearing!

Please add more personal descriptions from experiences you have with the neices and nephews. You know the favorite things you love about them that you cant talk enough about with others...

I think that is about all I had to say about this other than that I was laughing my bottom off through out the whole story!!

Hope to see if you add more to this!!!

Review of I Was A Tiger  Open in new Window.
Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
Hello Harry Author IconMail Icon,


I am reviewing:
 I Was A Tiger Open in new Window. (13+)
A poem inspired by the San Francisco zoo tragedy.
#1369518 by Harry Author IconMail Icon
on behalf of: "Invalid ItemOpen in new Window. along with many other groups I belong to such as "Invalid ItemOpen in new Window. "The WDC Angel ArmyOpen in new Window. [ASR],"Under 12 Months Group AOpen in new Window. [E],"Invalid ItemOpen in new Window. , "Invalid ItemOpen in new Window. , and many more listed at the bottom of the review!


Now on to the review!


Harry Author IconMail Icon, I have to say that when I read the title that this was not what I had expected. One reason because I forgot about the tragedy with the tiger at the zoo. I went to refresh my mind to remember. I think that this great poem. You show the emotions that the tiger that has been removed from his natural surroundings to a caged animal for mass of people to see everyday.

The description of this is great with the imagery! I could picture it as if I was the tiger. I love the pictures that you have described through out the stanzas. I have a few lines I really like in this piece where you can see the tiger and feel the emotion too.

"No mellow cat was I; anger led me to do harm.
I was bred to rule a jungle, be master of my domain.
Instead I was on exhibit; so I mauled a keeper's arm.
I should have roamed free; in a zoo I had to remain."

This stanza definitely describes the tiger perfectly from going domestic to having to be in a cage for the of his life in the zoo for others to torment him!!!

I have to say when reading this out loud it is rough in some places in the stanzas. I can go into more detail if you would like where the places are hard to read.

I hope that my review is helpful. Like I said I can go into more detail where it is hard to read when you read out loud. I will be back to review more in your port!!

Poolside Embarrassment Open in new Window. (18+)
Story of my most embarrassing moment written on a dare.

Now on to the review!


Diane this is a great story! I love these types of stories because you can actually imagine how the writer is feeling many years later. They are even better when they are written on dare! I could only imagine that day how you felt.

I could picture this perfectly as you are describing about the whole situation. I like how you put just enough emotion in this at the end when you decided to go in the water all at once. I could imagine how the guys were reacting to the surprise. I love that your friends kept it cool with you and helped you get everything back together!

Those are the friends you want to have years later to recall later! I hope to come back and visit to see what other small little stories you have in your port! These are the best!

Hello J. A. Buxton Author IconMail Icon,

 Invalid Item Open in new Window.
This item number is not valid.
#139968 by Not Available.



Punctuation/Spelling: Judity I do not see any punctuation or spelling errors at all. You always make sure that spell check has been used. You also make sure that what spell check does not catch you take care of it.

Grammar: For gramar I do not see anything noticeable. I review mainly on content rather than grammar. Due to the fact that I do not have the best grammar myself.

Plot: I think that this was a cute way to get the two main characters of two novels you were working on. I love that your cat was freaked out and jumped from the loud voice through the speakers.

The problem:

I think maybe you could have gone into a little more detail on Vulcan and Walker's conversation. The one where Walker is trying to convince Vulcan to let your computer go...

Here are a few that I noticed was going on:

1. I was a little confused about the itching, guessed it was Vulcan doing this to make sure that you are going to work on their story next since he took over the laptop.

2. Little more conversation between Vulcan and Walker would be better..

Setting:

The setting was a neat idea to do this from the laptop. You story goes with the Writers Cramp prompt. I Think that this one would have been something that you could have gone into more detail if you were able to use more than 1000 words.

Characters taking over the laptop for the setting is definitely a great idea for you because of all the projects that you work on all the time. Your career depends on these characters and not having your laptop would really not be good for you...

Characters:
1. Vulcan from "Invalid ItemOpen in new Window.

2. Walker

3. Your cat that is freaked out...hehe...

4. yourself

General Comments:

All and all that is a great little piece. I think that making this into a longer piece, you will have a cute little short story of your characters taking over your computer. I think that this was a really good piece for the writers cramp and hope you did well with this!!

Hello J. A. Buxton Author Icon,

Judy you have done a great job!!! I really love this diary page that you have written for the Writers Cramp 6th Birthday!! I love this and all the imagery you have put into this. I especially love the way you have use the members that were part of the prompt as the words you were to use.

I think my favorite part is about you being a lady and not being lady like to the milk man! Thinking about all the members that were used as the prompts I could actually see this member like that as an elderly too.

I love how you were able to keep this going with out really making a big deal and let the words flow through out the story. Now you have me interested in seeing the rest of the responses for this prompt!!! I hope that you did place for this!!!!

Happy New Year! L. A. Powell Author IconMail Icon,the Snow Winter Faery and Veronica, a Simply Everything Winter Elf, have decided to give you a review!!


I have to say that this poem is not what I was hoping it would be. I know your imagery is one of the best I have read when it comes to you short stories and novels you have on here. I was hoping to read more details of this poem to see the bond that shapes two into one. I figured that when you were going to do this with infinite faith with the strength it has...

I am sorry to see that this was just really flat poem. I hope that when I go to read more of the poetry I am used to reading, the imagery will be detailed for me to see the pictures of it all in your poetry!!

Hello Beth,

I have say that you have done a great job with kicking your bottom back into place where it should have been. I am glad to hear you that you are married!! That should give you plenty of inspiration along with your hubby to get some work done this year!

As for that creative writing class, it is anything like my creative writing class at Ivy tech with a teacher who gave you 3 times the normal load of work to do just to get everything accomplished in the sememster. You will be doing a great amount of writing!!! I know that you will be doing a fine job.

That class will get you into different forms of Poetry, stories off of prompts, and writing short stories. I pretty sure that you can do that since you have done that here on WDC! I am sure that you are not going to be depressed and watch movies and cook!! You will be wishing you had time to do all of this...hehe...

I hope that you place in the Dear Me contest!!! Good luck!!! Let me know how your Creative Writing Class!!!

Hello Judy,

When I saw this I thought the actual was in this...So I am assuming that when I go writers cramp I will see the wonderful you have written. I think that all your work is wonderful. I have to say that the Writer's Cramp Pieces are the best because you have grown in this contest. I love how you bring your "kids" into the stories or into anything else with these.

I love how you have told about your kids descriptively. You do this everytime you write! I cant wait to see the poem you write!! This will be the First Poem I think have read from you! I have read ALOT of your work!!! Too bad I have to always come to auto-rewards to do this since my favorites folders are full and it is easier to dig for your work in here.

Everyone needs to read your work!!!! Judy has 2 novels and if I correct working on her 3rd novel along with lots of short stories.

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas with a Simply Everything Review!




HoHoHo! J. A. Buxton Author IconMail Icon,Santa and Veronica, a Simply Everything Christmas Elf, have decided to give you a review!!


I see that your dear me, has seen what all you have failed to do last year. Do not like at them as failures, look at them as adventures for the year 2008!! This way you are not so hard on yourself next year.

As for who to review and who not to review. Why not expand to read Poetry, Vampires, wizard or even Fantasy. I write alot of poetry, but mine is mainly haikus, which are three lines. I would really look out into these genres and you might find something you like!!

Wizards and Fantasy, again seems like itis going to be typical dragons, swords, nights and all. Again their are lots of Great authors that have wonderful stories. So if you look at others who have short poetry you might be able to read and enjoy it.

I am not one for Vampire stories, but there are some really great authors here on WDC, that make it sound as if they were real people and not like the typical Dracula set up. I can give you items that I have read. Most of the great stories are on autorewards because no one will review them without gps. It is shame when they have to do that. Same for all the other genres out there that need to be reviewed but have to pay gps for this.

I hope that you expand beyond your goals and make it a this year be a great year!!! I know that you will be able to find more contests out their that you will be able to great at. I wish you the best with your contest entry!!

Good luck with all the newbies that want wonderful reviews from you!!!

HoHoHo! askpaddy Author IconMail Icon, Santa and Veronica, a Simply Everything Christmas Elf, have decided to give you a review!!


I love this tale from Auntie Barbara's Cream Bun Cafe with a great moral to the christian tale. God loves all Christians regardless of the denominations of the world. You have great imagery with this tale as you do with all the tales. I love this especially when they are together on one of the Monday Ministies to put up the Nativity Scene. I can wait to read more of these tails.

The more I like the story, the less I write about in the review so I do not take away from the whole tale!! This is definitely one that you need to read!!!
