I agree 100% with this article. The things I think of the most are people who are placed in maximum security prisons for murders they did not commit. Recently, there were two men released from a prison in Cleveland after being held for years for a murder they were charged with. These poor people who are not allowed to live life to it's fullest, who have done nothing wrong, get punished. It will never get better I'm afraid. Until people destroy the world and the media is nothing but a distant memory will this stop happening.
If you have not yet submitted this to a magazine or other periodical I urge you to do so. This would be a great piece.

Review of Hug  Open in new Window.
In affiliation with The WDC Angel Army  Open in new Window.
Rated: E | (3.0)
Hello! I found this on Review Requests and thought I would give you my opinion. My favorite part of this was the ending, that last stanza was so full of emotion. Some of the poem I did become confused where it didn't make much sense to me.
One of the lines were "Make me not feel small by your lashes." I am assuming it is meaning don't make me feel small when you look at me, but I could be wrong. I know it's hard sometimes to find words that rhyme but they don't have to.
I can relate to this poem on not being able to show emotion through touching. I like hugs I just don't seem to give or receive them often.
Write On!

Hello, I am reviewing your story on behalf of your request. This was a very comical story along with a good ending, though I'm not sure everyone would agree. Most people want to see a 'happily ever after' but I understand your reasoning and the moral of the story. Here are some notes I have on the context:
-"His mum and dad were worried, but luckily the table wasn't broken." - I found this rather funny.
-"After playgroup and at the weekend they'd build dens in the bottom of the garden and when mum and dad weren't looking Jake would climb the apple tree there."- There were some technical issues here. The beginning of the sentence should be changed to something along the lines of "after playgroup during the weekend..." Also, consider looking up comma use. I know the comma trips up a lot of good writers as well as myself.
-Mrs. Fatbum - Pretty funny, I can see children laughing hysterically at this.

Thank you for the opportunity to read and review your work. It helps me grow as a writer as well.

Review of We Are Slaves  Open in new Window.

Hello I am reviewing this as it came up in random review.
"We huddle together alone in packs of many." Great line. I think people of the world feel they are justified to do wrong because of situations they are in weather it is their fault or not. The poor who have grown up that way and say they can't afford college, people with disabilities who deteriorate because they feel they are useless, different races who feel they are stereotyped.
I feel anyone can do and become anything and anyone they choose to be. I'm not sure if this is the message you tried to get across, but this is what I took from it.
Thanks for the read and reflection!

A rather sad poem but moving nonetheless. Some people tend to make the same mistakes over in life, when I was a young woman I did and I try hard to help those I am close to see the mistakes in what they are doing and continue to do. I hope people read this and get inspired.

Hello! I am reviewing this as you requested and although I am no expert in poetry I was very happy to accept.
This poem is very clear and flowed lovely. However, I got a little caught up in the line that reads "you are my life, my one true love, and my very dearest friend."
I think if you changed the 'very dearest friend' it would be perfect. Perhaps something along the lines of 'and my favorite best friend' - that is by no means perfect either but I think the very is the wrong word.
The third line is also a little jarring, it makes sense but I re-read it a lot. Maybe changing it to 'when I first saw you' since you are talking about first glances would make it flow better.
As for those two little things everything else seemed to go together perfectly. My favorite was the end when you realize how in love they are that not even death would separate them.
Good job! Do you plan on entering this is the journey through the genres contest? I plan on writing something myself and this is great practice and research for me so thank you for choosing me to review your work!

Hello! I have been reading romantic poetry in preparation of writing my own for the journey contest and I really enjoyed yours. The flow was great and my favorite part was the second stanza and the end particularly. The very end of the poem however seemed to lose the good flow. I have re-read it many times and I always get hung up on the ending. Maybe a different wording besides "There's little room for stress". I am by no means an expert in poetry or writing in general but these are my thoughts. Thanks for writing such a wonderful piece!

Review of The Hat  Open in new Window.

Cute story *Smile* such a nice happy feeling to this. Some parts seemed so cliche though with the golden retrievers name being Goldie and I know there is a word limit and you did a good job with what you had to work with.

This poem is so right on. Today it is going to be 60+ degrees then supposed to plummet back to the 40s and 30s *Sad*. We always seem to get a little tease then a week or two of colder weather before it warms up for good. My favorite part is the end where "it seems to be Spring"! Probably my favorite season because I know the winter is over. Good work I saw nothing that needed improvement.

I liked this story no matter how cliche it was. I could read stories about arranged marriages where the woman gets away all day long. Your characters were so well written also. William and Anna were my favorite except for Bella of course. This was a great story! I didn't find any grammatical errors or spelling mistakes either (although that could be because I was so into the story) Good luck in your contest

This is a very deep story. In my town there is a big problem with heroin right now and a lot of people are dying from overdosing so this story is rather familiar with me. It's a good piece that grabs the readers attention. On the other hand, there is a lot of grammatical errors, not so much spelling mistakes but commas where there don't have to be and no commas where there should be. Good story though.

Hi! I found your story in the Short Stories newsletter so I thought I would give it a try.
I was very surprised at the end of this story I almost giggled. I was expecting an end of the world where the sun is destroying everything. Very creative thought process here. Great story!

Review of A Third for Tea  Open in new Window.

Rated: E | (4.0)
Hello! I found your story on review request and I must say it is a very cute little story. I definitely think any young child who does not know about God and Jesus would have a lot of questions that a parent should be ready to answer. I think it may be confusing for them as to why the dad was crying. Other then that I think it is a story that needs to continue with a story about going to church. Great work and i hope to see more in the future.

Review of Common Ground  Open in new Window.

Rated: E | (3.5)
Hello! I found this story on 'review request' and gave it a shot. There were a couple of things that caught my eye.
I really liked the promise of this story as a love story.
There were too many run-on sentences and compound sentences. I think it would do better if you shortened some of them and even omitted a few parts.
The sentence in particular "But not in this weather." Could be removed all together.
Good story and plot, it just needs a little tweaking, too many run-ons and you can lose your reader.

I saw your entry in the seven deadly sins contest and decided to check it out. Let me start off by saying it's a cute story. Its easy to overlook your own actions when you are so busy judging others. Good moral and wonderful character development. Good luck in the contest.

Good concept here. The thing that mostly caught my attention was that it seemed rather choppy in spots. It was as if one thought went right into another. Perhaps a little rework will make it a five star story. Keep writing!

Review of The Dark Ages  Open in new Window.
In affiliation with The WDC Angel Army  Open in new Window.
Rated: E | (5.0)
Here are my thoughts on the subject. Sometimes I believe young people get grandeur ideas of changing the world for the better then realize it is simply too hard. They start looking for a scape goat, some way to make it seem better. They never want to leave the seat of power even if they can't change one thing because it becomes an addiction. I would like to think, perhaps foolishly, that most people have good intentions and we give certain people (in a democracy) power to make decisions for us because thousands if not millions of people would never come to an agreement on a subject. Most of the time you can't get two people to make a decision.

As for Monarchs and Dictatorships, those people feel they have superior blood to the rest of us. Do kings and queens make such an impact in their kingdoms? Not nearly as much today as in the past but yes the dictators will always have power. People are afraid of their ruler as they hold the power to the army, to the police, to everything.

Thanks for the opportunity to share my opinions. I will look for your story.

Review of The Tree House  Open in new Window.
Rated: E | (5.0)
Mine is where adults hang out. Great poem, brings me back to the days I had clubhouses but never a tree house even though I wanted one so badly. The only thing that threw me a little is the line about the tea parties. It's a little longer than the rest and I think that's why, other then that great job. Thank you so much for writing and sharing. Good work!

*Bulletg* WHY I AM REVIEWING THIS ITEM: On behalf of the Newbies Academy and the Review Raid

*Bulletg* FIRST IMPRESSION: I'm not big on stories starting out with dialogue but I gave it a shot.

*Thumbsup*WHAT WORKED: The emotion in Lisa about her deceased boyfriend Mark

*Bulletg*HOOK: I just want to know who she will end up with!

*Bulletg*CHARACTERS: They all seem very genuine. I liked them all, even Anthony.

*Bulletg*STORY LINE: Not bad but I think the way Lisa is narrating through some of the story is a little misplaced.

*Bulletg*NUTS & BOLTS: There were a few misspellings I saw but nothing a good read threw wouldn't catch. These are odds and ends that I present for your consideration. My goal is to help make your writing stronger, but it is up to you what will work for your story.

Greetings Miss B Author IconMail Icon! I am sending you a review of your story, "untitled" Open in new Window.. This review reflects my opinion only, and I am not a writing expert. I do hope you find something that is interesting or helpful to you.

*Bulletg* WHY I AM REVIEWING THIS ITEM: ON behalf of the Newbies Academy and the Review Raid

*Bulletg* FIRST IMPRESSION: When I opened the tab for this story I was going to close it because of the huge block of words. (I'm glad I didn't)

*Thumbsup*WHAT WORKED:The sincerity in the authors voice. The hope of a true love.

*Bulletg*HOOK: I was mesmerized after about three lines. This is the kind of love everyone wants.

*Bulletg*NUTS & BOLTS: After the first sentence I was a little confused who was talking as the sentences seem to be choppy and unfinished thoughts. Also as I mentioned above, readers don't want to open to one big block of words, space it out a little. These are odds and ends that I present for your consideration. My goal is to help make your writing stronger, but it is up to you what will work for your story.

*Starg*OVERALL IMPRESSION: I was captured by your story. Love is an amazing thing *Heart*
