 |  | The Journals of Mary Brownstone  [E] A secretary dreams of being a journalist and gets an unlikely shot. Writer's Cramp winner.  |
| (5.0)| A "Game of Thrones" by Gaby ~ Just tired  ReviewStoryline: Mary works for a newspaper and really wants to be a reporter, but her boss only puts her in the position of taking dictator for his less-than-exciting stories. She is bored with the mundane of this job. Mr. Livingston is sick on this particular day and cannot come into the office. When the phone rings, the caller mistakes her for her boss and gives her a tip. She runs outside to investigate and gets the story herself. Spelling/Grammar Issues: None Description/emotion: I identified with what Mary felt in her job and with a husband who thinks she should consider herself lucky that he allows her to work in this field. The timeline is 1968, but even still. I loved that she jumped right in and went after that story when it fell into her lap. Her surprise at seeing the enormity of the situation, with a dozen cows hanging out on the street was great. Overall Impression: Great job with this short story. It was good that you showed how grateful Mary was submitting that story, and having her name in print. She realizes that it may be the only article she gets to write, but that is enough for her. The cows grazing down Main Street had a great comedy to it since that's not something that happens every day.
