Harmon the Hedgehog [E] A short story about Harmon the hedgehog and his adventure. |
Greetings, Michael Stirland ! I discovered your item request, "Harmon the Hedgehog" , this afternoon and decided to review it. First of all, my reviews are intended to be helpful and encouraging, not hurtful in any way. Use what you feel works for you, and leave the rest. Flow I love your (the narrator's) voice in this cute little story. A true story-telling voice. For some reason I can almost hear it, as if you were reading it on the radio for storytime, or even an audiobook. Are you good at doing different character voices? Anyway, although I have a few suggestions, I want you to know you have a knack for this storytelling business. Punctuation/Grammar All your punctuation and grammar appears good. However, I did find in Paragraph 3: because what Mother doesn’t want their son to kiss them on the cheek In this case, Mother is not a proper noun so should not be capitalized. because what mother doesn’t want their son to kiss them on the cheek And Paragraph 12: In fact. Could it be that I would recommend you replace the period with a comma and uncap the C in Could. In fact, could it be that Thoughts/Suggestions Have you thought of adding more dialogue to your story? I'm a little torn about this. It reads very well, mostly because of you great narration, but dialogue helps give the main character more personality. It's up to you though. Perhaps a bit more description during the battle, where you could insert a bit of dialogue. Again, just a thought. I love how you ended this little piece. You've set Harmon the Hedgehog up for more stories/adventures. My favorite line: But don’t tell him he has a cute button nose, because that would make him extremely embarrassed. I love your tone! The narration is great! Nicely written! I hope my suggestions were helpful. Have a great day and... K e e p on W r i t i n g !
