Guess, we're all getting used to using the new digit, 7, above.

Anyways, Temperence, welcome to WC.

Your poem; EVERYTHING FOR YOU has some very eloquent lines pertient to the title's theme.

Sample: "It might be cold under the rain ..." also shows a picture.

When we read, as everyone knows already, we seek the visual. Done in poetry, briefer, of course than short story form, is a really good accomplishment.

Hey, HAPPY NEW YEAR TO you and yours, dear poet.

Cordially, Teff

Of the poem AWAY direct from the port of Cat, on Read-A-Newbie, page 20 ... there is ... there is ....

Wait a sec, need to read this vibrant one again.

It's fast paced, telling in a direct manner such as: "Stop it! Stop it!"

..... There's a new style emerging.

Suggest getting your stuff into the many poetry contest here, Cat.

Very good!

Imagine if you will: Lordy, Lordy they said your writing is superb. Everyone wants to hear that for everything? (Notice in the previous statement, does is left out. It is because I am talking which writing is indeed the best part of talking on line. Like: Does everyone want to hear your writing is superb?

Oh, nevermind.

Yes, we love hearing it.

Of writers anywhere, here too, some get by, others grind, to some it comes natural to "turn a phrase with umpteen class."

When we write, dear Rising Stars on this list we're prolific, accurate, crazy, creative and well versed in something this humble reviewer hopes to see on the list of Rising Stars.

Class, entertainment, humor, enjoyment, and respect for the piece a fellow member delivers up cold, no ham on ryes, and is kinda realistic about it.

We try, we strive, we conquer.

With this type of award, please do in fact impart your high recommendations to the best of the best, dear hosts.

Talent recognized is talent seen, Best to turn away from the name, the person, the writer/ author/ artist/ poet. Concentrate on item.

Let it always be about the piece a writing star writes, actually c-rites here on WC. A work is a product, a pen,a write.

A person is not a work.

If not the diservice of lauding to be nice, for heaven's knows why's sake ... simply encouragement for young authors, under 15, yes.

Suppose you find one, then relax, love it/ hate it? Or does it go in the you know, wastecan?

Do revs strike at all hours, day and night for readers who rev?

Answers are raindrops running down a window. It's plot, not amounts of less mistakes in over 20 items, 3000 words, six ribbons? How to judge is how?

One dreams of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Some may breech out ... think: Yeah, but I like the no mistakes, proper English, grammar mode. ZZZZZZZZ

Or: Kid finished the piece, give it 5. Good for you. Generosity.

I cannot speak for all. Honesty is usually the best way to go.

Our words in revs chose compliments to encourage ... but the non offend may go too far. My stuff gets a ton of 3- ish from contests. So what who cares, not me.

Who gives the gold? The Blues? Where's the vote? Folks spoke of letters to why doesn't s/he have a yellow?

I have no idea.

It is hard for me to understand this R S thing. Must return, re-read.

Read straight through without a single hitch with an appreciation for both information the author delivers and for a no-holds-barred way of explanation makes this piece soundly educational and marvelously entertaining.

Hats off to Nicola for a great job, very well done. TEN STAR WORK of achievement, especially for the history buffs out there.

Suppose we take ourselves away from the fancy tree, away from the complaints about shopping, away from the constant need for ridiculous factory decorations to be just so with every item now whizzing under the Christmas logo. I note Santa Claus shower curtain rings at the store, snowman rugs, angel towels of red.

Come here, little ones. Here is a fictious babe, in a heart wrenching situation in any home town from LA to Kansas City to the Bronx to Raleigh.

From the portfolio of Blkstarline comes an incredible read. A funny short story and an entertaining one. Let's hope the newsletter writers for Comedy & Short Stories stop over to read this author's work a.s.a.p.

Cunningly enough we encounter the step by step inside the house with old Earl and a dry tub while daughter and grandson play second fiddle to grandma's interruptive phone call.

Inside the philosphy of several major characters a backdrop appears before our eyes while each paragraph offers a peddlar's extravaganza of witty details.

A hard one to beat --- the best of the best, available now in EARLS PLAYING BY HIMSELF, MAN.

Make haste, gang. This is the one to read for sheer bite plus wild entertainment.

Congratualtions, B, this is extremely well worked, well written and very well done.

Review of The Cat's Miaow  
Review by April Sunday
Rated: E | (3.5)

Dec 18, 2006


THE CAT'S MIAOW by Lana is a contest entry for flash fiction of 1,000 words.

The story bodes well in syntax, grammar and punctuation. Almost, waiting to expand perhaps at paragraph junctures.

Perhaps when the contest ends plot-line will see the sense of adding to the story.

Tha abrupt end is exactly what many might dream of in the ever-popular downsize situation. The main character's reaction to Jessica's desk spells the conculsion.

Is it not meow?

Anyways, welcome to WC and a Happy Holiday this month to you and yours, dear author.

Good Job! Word limitations are hard to develop sometimes and this story does an exceptional job offering much information within the mere 1K words.

Hey there Malibu, your work: REALITY FATIGUE meets a revver who from those first years --- (2003?) of more and more reality television shows, now supposedly filmed in spots dubbed international where people are often starving or emersed in water. I fully agree with your take on the network situation of cheaper is better.

No! Au contraire, nix on Reality TV. Where are the documentaries these days, sparse in the content, of course? For maybe we as audience craved newer shows of the ilk of Frazier. But no, we weren't lucky out here in Mr & Mrs Audience-ville.

Malibu, you're absolutely correct. Instead we got reality TV shoved down our throats and I for one do not watch these.
Better to curl up with a good book.

Thanks for this one which needs to be stated.

Dec 17, 2006
GLOBAL TERROR, a poem from the pen of peakn serves to remind us that there are not just two sides to every story, peace & war, or right and wrong.

Instead the poet offers a possible tried & true quest for answers via (unsure) negotiations at a bargaining table, prayer and perhaps another look at a intolerable injustices.

Good attempt to air those pesky old views, Peakn, dear.

It is also nice to hear from a published author just how it is done.

Ross Perot? Oh, my, but gotta give the guy a thumbs up for daring to take on an entire country when strife wasn't as equally paramount as it is today. So sure, Ross Perot, one can see it.

In REVIEW OR CRITIQUE, WHICH IS IT? "professional" author, Budroe captures a reviewer's philosophy by the tail and gives it a shake.

What is not said is that a Review is undefine-able person by person. But believe it, much of value is stated.

Often in a comedic manner, for the read is far from dull, while underlines and bold emphasis an importance the author wishes to place on the value of the article, one can not help but snicker at "Yak school." One of the highlights of the piece which brings one (as reviewer or reader) to a handsome standpoint.

From this work, Budroe, I now safely gain advice which beleagured me all along. Namely, by your small sampling and explanation of how you rev, that we almost all rev in our own ways. You in yours, evident from this item.

The rest of us, myself inclued, rev as we rev. Period. While contemplating the difference of a rev and a critique yet once more the real, that's R-E-A-L meanings of both are sadly missed in the rush to include oneself. Sad but true. Almost as if spin is not only now associated with "govmint" speak, a pronounciation from S of the Mason Dixon line. Me(?) I like dicitonary meanings, which are facts. .... But now associated with calling a Yak person a catchall for all seems to sway way backwards from what is a review?

However, reading a little more carefully, backtracking the item at hand, one can gain from this take on reviewing in any case.

Now to go public or private here, Holmes is indeed the question. So tossing the proverbial coin as I mean you no harm while rating above. In fact toying with the idea of writing another rev piece myself lately. For what I really think and have observed on writing.com methods of revving besides:

Sometimes threatening new Teffom thoughts on revs, brand new thoughts on revving --- Since ideas plague me sometimes. However, these slip away fast, like fluff from dandelions in a hurricane tempest. And here I thought to find answers to questions, I had on topic. Sadly this was not the case. So public it is, Holmes. BUT the subject naturally needs more play to it from all sides and all viewpoints. We in truth need something else to work with around here. And in that sense your piece does excell for a method of revving is now once more outlined for all of the internet world to behold.

So guests, revvers, audience, authors, moderators, those in high office, and interested parties, poets, critics, try this one on for size.

And if the shoe fits as snuggly as Budroe's loafers, well then so be it.
