This chapter is even more interesting than the last. I do hope we're going to learn the deep dark secrets before this novel ends.

You need to double space between paragraphs 3 and 4.

CH-12: Diosdado--Lion of Pampanga<--Another bit of confusion; is it Lion}/i}or Leon--> "Good to see you, Dado de Leon—Leon of Pampanga."

There are several places where you forget to double space between characters speaking.

I'm still enjoying this novel. You're doing a good job with your descriptions; this helps keep it interesting.

With a piece this large, you really need to double space between paragraphs. When you single space between paragraphs, it tends to make the eyes cross and it becomes hard to concentrate on what you're reading.

Review of Give Me To Drink

Why ask me for water sir, are so blind?Did you mean to say are you so blind? or are you blind?

This is a beautiful poem. I am familiar with the story of Jesus and the woman at the well. It's a beautiful story and has such a great lesson for all of us.

Keep up the good work.

This is a most interesting chapter. I only found one error. I listed two passages below that seemed to be contradictory. Maybe an oversight, or maybe I misunderstood or just missed something.

I'm still enjoying your novel.. Keep writing.

but I guess his money as a physician makes up for the stark contrast in their appearance."

"Isn’t he an engineer?"
"He was an engineering student when we were going out. I don’t know what he’s been doing since we broke up."Aren't we speaking of the same person as the one in the above sentence? The first sentence makes it sound like he became a physician. Or did I completely misunderstand?

First of all, let me say that you are definitely a good writer. There was only one error that I saw in this piece. That makes it so much easier to read.

Keep up the good work.

Six hours What I normally consider an endless flight time now seems fleeting with William to talk to. I think this is a run on sentence. I'm not quite sure how it should be fixed. Maybe separate Six ours and the rest of the sentence with a comma or semicolon. This is one of those things where I know it's wrong, but don't know how to make it right.

I found no typos or misspelled words in this chapter. You use good, strong sentence structure, never using run on sentences or sentence fragments.

The description of this chapter made me want to read on. I found this chapter to be very interesting and I can hardley wait to go to the next.

Keep writing.

This is so touching. When my first husband had a near death experience, he said his whole life passed by his eyes in a flash.

He prayed "Help me". The doctor working on him, asked what he said. Henry said, "I asked God to help me." At that point, my husband became what the doctors liked to call, their miracle patient.

Then I have known people (one, a very dear friend) who was clinically dead for a while, but came back. She said she didn't remember anything during that time.

The thing I think about most, I believe, is not wanting my children and grandchildren to feel the heavy feeling of my not being here anymore. That's a bad feeling. However, time takes care of that.

You've done a good job with no errors.

Keep writing.

Review of Sally

Rated: E | (4.5)
wow! That gave me goose bumps. I believe things like this really do happen. I think John's ghost was an angel. He entertained an angel unaware when he gave her the money he thought she needed to feed her baby.

I know this is fiction, but like I said, I still believe things like this really happen.

Keep up the good work.

You have spoken so much truth in this piece. I looked for errors but if they're there, they slipped by me.

I self published a book and sold about 300 copies. Then one of our members on this site bought one. She found two errors in it. I had reprints with the corrections.

I think the only thing that bothers me is when someone reads one of my stories about the Bible Club kids and says something like, "these children are not realistic". Actually, I don't know what to do about that, because those particular stories (most of them) are nothing but accounts of what the kids actually said or did. As far as finding grammatical errors, those I appreciate. I also love when the reader makes suggestions of things I can do with the stories (other than change them).

I think what I'm saying here is, I agree with you. You've done a wonderful job.

Keep up the good work and write on!

This is a very helpful and informative piece. What we as writers need to always remember is that even the best authors have received rejection letters.

"This shows a lot of promise, and I think XYZ Editorial Service can really make it publishable. Here, it sounds like something the writer would have to pay for to get it publishable, then the writer would have to start all over and submit it to publishers. I would beware this type encouragement.

I would also beware of finding agents to help sell my book. I fell for that once. It gets mighty expensive and doesn't usually work out.

Keep up the good work.

I'm assuming you wrote this article that was in the BC Eagle.

This is a very informative article. I'm not sure that increasing the age would make all that much difference. If the students take more Driver's Ed., that might help. But for the most part, I think the danger is in fact that once the teen gets that license, they are a bit too confident. A lot of them are ready to celebrate their new found freedom; the freedom to drive. I realize not all teens are like that.

I noticed a couple errors which I've listed below.

You've written this well. I found no typos or misspelled words. I love the style you've used with this. The color is beautiful. Sometimes using color font just about blinds the reader, but this is a soft, pleasant color.

This is a beautiful tribute to your mother. It's hard to lose someone, but when we know they are in Heaven, that makes it easier for us to cope.

I found no mistakes in this piece.

Keep up the good work and continue writing. I'll come back another time and read more.

Again, you've done an absolutely beautiful job. This poem is a witness for Jesus. You never know when someone who isn't saved will read it and it will touch their heart and help them to accept Jesus as their Savior.

Keep up the good work and write on!

This one deserves a 10, but we only go to 5. They say 5 is perfect and they also say there's always room for improvement. To me this is perfect. I don't know what you could do to make it any better.

Just keep up the good work and continue writing.

This is so beautiful. So far, everything I've read in your port shows you either talking about God or to Him. That is a wonderful testimony in itself.

Keep up the good work and continue writing. You never know who you'll be a blessing to. Actually, I'd think anyone who visits your port will be blessed.

Review of The Call  
Review by grandmapenny
Rated: E | (4.5)
Another job well done. The only thing that bothered me, the first line in verse 5 is a bit long. It doesn't read as smoothly as most.

This is a beautiful and heart warming prayer. I know your mom is at rest.

I visited your website. I think I've been there before, but will definitely return later.

Keep up the good work.

As far as the way this is written, I see nothing wrong with it. I found no misspelled words. The poem reads smoothly and is very touching.

I did notice that at the end of each line, you have no punctuation. Is it suppose to be that way?

All in all, you did a great job and it shows that this prayer comes straight from the heart.

Keep writing.

Review of I Want  
Review by grandmapenny

I found no typos or misspelled words in this piece. It reads smoothly. Your lists of wants and don't wants is very interesting. I think that's what most of us would ask for.

I read another poem about bipolar. Is that the same thing as manic depressive? Or is it something different all together?

This is written well. I found no typos or misspelled words in this poem. You've done a good job writing it.

I think I like the last two lines the best. That's good advice, huh?

I'm afraid you've earned yourself another 5 from Grandma Penny. I found no errors. You use good strong sentence structure. There are no sentence fragments. You held my interest. As a matter of fact, your writing tends to make me feel that I'm right there in the middle of the story.

Keep up the good work.
