Hello Iva Lilly Durham ! I'm reviewing your piece, "Getting around WDC" on behalf of the "Simply Positive Review Forum " where you are listed as one of this week's selected reviewees.
NOTE:Please know that I'm not a professional reviewer, so no matter what my rating or comment may seem to imply. All the suggestions made here are only opinions proposed to improve your work, so don't be shy to disregard any comments as you see fit.
COMMENT:
Writing a piece with a variety of purposes is a great idea. This piece shows how you feel about the site and its stuff, including members. Also, it's very helpful to everyone around here, especially newbies because it could encourage them, not to give up in exploring the vast ocean of WDC, but to follow your way, in order to know about how to do stuff around. I remember when I was new here, most of the time, I was lost, in fact this site is huge and wide and maybe that's the reason why it's hard to explore. You talk from your heart in this piece and I can hear you and I know the others will also do.. Of course, your topic and presentation is very interesting.
FAVORITE LINE(S):
Below are some of my favorites:
Like those mice, we feel so far from the prize.
The above thought flow reads very well. You're a good rhymer, in my opinion.
At the end of the day, this is a BIG place with lots going on, wonderful poems and stories to read, inspiration for things to write and, best of all, friends including our Story Master and Story Mistress.
I liked the way you tell how you felt about the site and I think newbies will believe in you. To me, I agree with you on this thought, my friend. Also, including the SMs in your circle of friends is a good idea since they are very friendly and encouraging, too. All of all, your thought are real. It seems that you're a friendly kind old woman.
