First and fore most I see no mistakes in this piece to point out.

You pull the readers in with your life stories and hold them till the end. I enjoy how you share important points but don't over due each with much unneed discription and run.. You get to the point, share enough information to the reader to understand the situation and move on.

I have read a few of your pieces and do plan on reading more. I can personaly relate to this piece. I myself have dealt with bi polar since I was 16 but was not diganosed until after I had my second daughter at the age of 22. I know fully about the first pain you feel that leads you into the downword spiral that stems the first attack of bipolar. I still remember what the inncodent that kicked mine in the full gear when I was 16, 16 years ago.I know what its like to want a change in life but you honestly don't know what kinda change you want because you truly don't know who you are or who you want to become.

This is one great piece. I can feel the emotions and see the imagery very well. Its holds a power to pull people the reads in. Rhyming and flow hold well through out. I'm sure there are those that will be able to relate to your piece in many ways.

I see on tiny mistake - It could all end right now, the end of you hope,
I think you should be your. I see nothing that needs to be changed is anyway. Keep writing and sharing your work.

Thank you,
Jamie

Review of Sacrifice  Open in new Window.

A good read. One thing to suggest maybe adding why the relationship had ended. I think that would allow the reader to become more attached to the character.
I see no mistakes to point out. I was able to play the story in my mind like a movie as I read. Keep up the writing.

Review of The visions  Open in new Window.
Review by pandora9980 Author IconMail Icon
Rated: ASR | (3.5)
Very nice. Just a few suggestions. If you could add something about what you are seeing. You inform the reader that you see moving shapes. And, how you are haunted by them. But, what are these shapes that you are seeing. What is haunting your sleep. I feel if you add a few little details you will grab the readers imagination a lot stronger being able to pull then into your words. Just my own opinion. Be up the writing.

Review of The gift (ver 2)  Open in new Window.
Review by pandora9980 Author IconMail Icon
Rated: ASR | (3.0)
You have a good poem here but I feel there is room for improvement.
The second line - And the air is hard with cold.
The use of the word hard to describe the cold makes it sound off. Maybe if you were to use another word to describe the cold it would hold a better flow to it. I think the use of the word blanket used repeatedly through it off as well. Maybe change blanket in one of the lines to the cotton cover.
You have potential in to making this something great.
All of this is my own opinion so anything you don't like pay not attention to it. Keep up the writing.

Review of Mind Dance  Open in new Window.

This piece is very great. The main thing that comes to mind is a rhyme out of something Dr Seuss would right. If read slow it rolls of the tongue nicely. I had to read it twice to fully understand it do to all the rhyming but it works great for this piece. It was a joy to read.

This is a very sweet piece. I have one thing to point out which is fully my own opinion with the first two lines in the first stanza

I haven’t heard from her in months – here’s what she had to say…
She said, “I thought you’d like to see something I made for you

With it he way you have it - here's what she had to say She said - Having set like this make it sounds off as I read the first stanza.

Other then that its a great piece. I see no mistakes to point out. Something everyone can take in personally. Keep your pen moving.

Review of My Nasty Habit  Open in new Window.
Review by pandora9980 Author IconMail Icon
Rated: ASR | (4.0)
A good read. You made a great job writing on this subject. This one here is written on much.
One thing I think that would help someone else wanting to quit is to say how long you have been smoking before you finally gave it up. Knowing no matter how long you had the nasty habit anything is possible.
It holds a nice flow. I see no mistakes. Congratulating for being able to break the habit it is a very hard one to kick. Keep up the good work.

Review of The River  Open in new Window.

A wonderful story to share with the readers. A few things I must point out. I think it would help it along if you described a few things while telling the story, What was the season, what did the water look like, what sound did it make. Describe the people in the story. How old was the baby. Did he look like you, your father, or the mother. Describe the emotional reaction that this impacted on each charter. Who did you finally marry. How did your soon to be wife handle you finding out that you had a child. I feel if you put more into it then simple facts it would grab a reader more. Have a better emotional impact on them. what was the out come of the day. I think it has great potential. Keep up the writing.
Just my own opinion.

Over all impression- A great read. I love the way you switch from emotional to comedy with in seconds. You grab the emotional pull on someone heart and raise the curtain which lets out a rush of air thanking its was all an act. There was line that kinda sound cheesy-
Gillian and Karen our super children.

Maybe if you could fine a different descriptive word other then super.

Keep up the writing

Here I will give an honest review. I will break it down with introductory, each lesson, and Aurthur summary. All this will becoming from my personal opinion so if you don't like what you read then let it go in one eye and out the there.

Intro-Magic is a bit like Santa clause, we say he exits. I think it could use more flare to pull your readers in.
Add that it has been used for centuries from the most famous of high royalty to the lowest of peasants.
Maybe add a few things that maybe gained from learning the technique. What few type of spells, protection spells, love, money and power.

Lesson 1- First off it seems to run on about the same point over and over. If a reader is interested in what they are reading and they don't understand it the first time over they will reread it


Instead of having this with what the reader starts out with make it the title of the lesson.
Here I will teach you how to Read magic.
So this lesson will be just like reading a Magic Spell only with no Magic since we have none right now.


Understanding how to read magic


All of this can be left out- it is a lot of words with no need for them

After you read it and understand, you can go back over the same Reading to unlock the Magic since an obvious magic Element is used in the reading but more about that later.

Here is the Reading, and in this reading you will learn a method of understanding you can apply in Reading and finding Magic.

Listen carefully, because this makes sense and will have you believe in Magic.

This needs to be put simpler to make better sense to the reader.

First let think like that Magic is already written down, all the spells and all the teaching and all you need to do is read it

Only this book is special, when you understand you learn something and it makes you more aware of magic.

The First word in this book is, Fireworks.
Now we know what fireworks are and look like right ?



Suggestion-
Image you have a book of spells lying in front of you.
The first spell is based on the word fireworks.
Image fireworks in your head. What do you see, hear , and feel?


We now focus on the word 'Fireworks'.
And split it up in to common words.
You can do this with many words in English.
And it's going to be used in unlocking a secret meaning.
We get these two words - Fire and Works.
Fireworks. This is saying fire really works.
Or a major construction in a workshop using fire.

Ok there is away to slim this down so it is better read by the reader-

Look at the word fireworks. Split it in to two common words fire works. What we get from this is fire really works.


Now take what you have and use your common knowledge here.
Who did fire work for and why is it worth celebrating ?

The Cave Men Of Course.
Cave men discovered fire, it worked
and a fitting celebration to that
would be a fireworks display.

The only thing that needs to be worked is the first line.
The cave men discovered fire first,

Change this altogether - That's the end to lesson one. Here No magic was revealed but you were just taught how to discover Magic and read Magic.

Now that you know how to decipher the magic from the sentence and read it lets move on to the next lesson.


Lesson 2You can lose all this and put it in simpler terms
Let do this now with a word that will connect us to the Magic World hidden around us.

The Second Word in this Wonderful Magic Book that came right after Fireworks was the word 'spell'.

Lets look at the word that is associated with magic 'spell

what you have here is fine-The word Spell is far to obvious to go unnoticed, the word is pure magic itself. Let us define the Word Spell, basically it's how you write a word.

What you have here is good as well-
We learn here that spells are written, and are all around us already.

Here you need to define how-
You could write down your most inner desires and have it all done with magic !

This is fine-With the understanding in Lesson one you are on a path of discovery and realizing your dreams are reality.

Welcome to the world of magic and wonder, a place where your imagination is your world and magic is the air we breath.

Lesson 3

This is good what you have here-
Using the Book that began with,
'Fireworks spells fire works.'
We have a template in applying new words for and discover new magic meanings.
Lets replace Fireworks with the word Spells.

No need for all the words-
We get, 'Spells, spells spells.'

This can me put more simplified-

What we want to understand is,
This means the word 'Spells' spells, or is understood as, magic spells and not simple meanings like in lesson one.

What we need to learn is the meaning of the word spells and what it holds.

once again an be put in simpler terms-
Apply lesson one in a Magic tone to the words and discover the Magic in the word Fireworks.

Add the word Magic to the word fireworks.
You come out with magical fireworks.

You need to put an end to lesson three there.

The rest of what you have is a mere summary.
All of what you have previously can be combined to make one lesson.


Here you have a few mistakes and the sentence is a good one-
This lesson will end in a somewhat disappointing fashion, but the now you can apply magic to every day words you can venture out and discover new things.

This lesson will end in a disappointing fashion, but now you can read the magic in every day words. You can venture out and discover new things.

Technology should match magic's expectations in advancement and it might us be be hidden already around us like a free amusement museum park.
I hope my lesson help you discover this world.

It should read- Technology should match magic's expectations in advancement, it is hidden around like an amusement park.


You asked for reviews so I gave my person opinion. I hope it helps. You have a great ideal going. But, you have to rember what is going to make this book different from the rest of them teaching the word of magic.



Now to answer all you questions.

Did you like this book ?
The subject is a good one, your trying to teach the subject to a beginner. The way you have it written I honestly have to say I did not.

Would you read more ?As the way it is now no I would not.

Would you buy the book if it taught you how to cast magic, like fire ? It depended on how you present it. How clearly the steps are.

Would you be interested helping create this book by publishing
works you have made by reading this book and be apart of a writing team ? n/a

I am sorry for such a harsh review but I know you would like an honest opinion and this one is mine.

Review of Not Forever  Open in new Window.
Review by pandora9980 Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (4.0)
Over all impression- Great subject choice, one many can relate with. The reader can easily capture your emotion you are trying to show.

Favorite-
I liked the fourth stanza for the simple fact of what I personally get out of it. Every person says I won't hurt you, Won't lie to you. And in the end it seems to always be worst then your last broken heart.

Mistakes- I see no mistakes to mention.
Just one line that kinda throw it off. The last line
Love doesn't last forever. Ever.
Having the forever then ever right after kinda ruined the ending for me.
This is just my opinion.

Over all impression -
Wonderful presentation. Many readers can find them self with in this delima not know if they should. You are able to share your true emotions on the subject well with your words. A great job.

Mistakes -
I see no mistakes to mention

Favorite line or stanza -
"I can't trust You!
Not this time, Lord;
I've tried to trust You before--
Tried to have faith in Your Word."
I enjoy this stanza most for that is were I am in life right now.

You have written a great poem. Keep up the good work.
