In my view, the primary focus should be on encouraging the writers to write. I do not review items I don't enjoy anymore because I see it as a waste of my time. So, if you get a review from me, I enjoyed reading your work. The amazing thing about this whole process is that reading an inspiring review usually leads to me reading more of a reviewer's work also. So, it's a win-win.
I'm good at...
encouraging others to write because I love to read.
I will not review...
something I do not like. I do not enjoy writing hyper-critical reviews. I do NOT believe that "honesty" is a synonym for "mean." If I see someone being "mean" here on the public reviewing page, in group behaviors, or just acting as a bully I will not send them my reviews. The only exception to that would be judging a site contest - there all items get honest (and hopefully diplomatic) reviews of the work from me with no exceptions.

*CakeB* HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews" *CakeP*


*Cow**Balloons*

What brought Hoovsie meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

*Cow*I am reviewing your Dear Me letter as one of the judges for "Dear Me: Official WDC Contest" .

Thanks for entering!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea*I thought about how I imagine Minneapolis to be now. It is totally a different picture from what I had from visiting there in 2006.

People see things in different ways at different ages. I remember riots in the late 60s. It seemed like it was more of a legitimate upset or maybe living through it more than once changes your perspective.

My city, too, was torn up, but it wasn't the epicenter.

My criteria for judging Dear Me letters is about what I find memorable and interesting. It may not agree with anyone else's judgment. I also admire something that touches me personally.

That is to give you an idea of where I'm coming from in the whole judging realm.

No expert on keeping my own New Year's Resolutions, I have already broken what little I did make.

So, I'm also looking to be inspired with my own plans for continuing this year. Maybe sorting through things is the way to go instead of avoidance behaviors.

I admire you for all the thought and effort you put into this.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

*Thumbsup*I think in these hard times with everything going on, everyone is somewhat at sea, lost, adrift.

I know that some days I have irrational fears, but they are still there real fears.

Time is the only thing that has ever helped any turmoil or bad situation.

A year is a snapshot in time I guess. I don't know the answers, but I know that a lot of people are feeling a sense of loss right now.

*Cow*You posted in the I Write Decade Activity before I did. It is a pleasure to read and review your story.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

I think that you took the prompt and soared with it. This is imaginative and engaging as a mysterious stranger gives little to go on and ignites curiosity. It is natural to wonder about someone new who doesn't connect with others.

*Cool**Idea*

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

I liked the subtle reference to climbing the ladder anywhere. You never know who wants to achieve what for what purpose. On here, I've seen it where the climb is rapid only to be followed by a hasty exit once goals are attained.

The slow individual gradually achieves and maybe even wins the race in the end. I know I have been a slow one, but most of the people who passed me by are long gone. I was here for good reasons (to me anyway) that never changed.

Well, we never know who is behind the screen I reckon.

Very interesting story about human nature and privacy, too.

Well done!

This is a lovely image for me from Lizco252!

What brought Hoovsie meandering or prowling in a space time continuum over to your port?

*Cow*You were the winner today in "The Writer's Cramp" !!! Congrats again for writing a wonderfully engaging story. You asked for a review and I am happy to oblige. I do not review everything because of time constraints, but I did enjoy your tale of an inspiring Christmas!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

I thought about how we sometimes get taught the meaning of things, like Christmas, in ways we might or might not appreciate at the time.

This is a mother who earns respect and love from her children in her heartfelt efforts to reach out to others, who have fallen on hard times.

*Cool**Idea*

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

I honestly loved that the families never met. There is a sensitivity to the fact that maybe the recipients might be ashamed of the fact that their Christmas that year was given from others. It seemed like a the ultimate way of paying it forward to me.

I do not typically give detailed critiques in my reviews. I respect that it is your story and I enjoyed reading it. I don't send a review now unless I enjoy reading the item in question, and sometimes not even then. I did not see any glaring errors to point to. I thought, overall, it was a story well told, with a gentle lesson in life conveyed to the reader.

I am not an expert on writing or anything else, just a grateful reader who appreciates a story well told.

Well done!

I clicked on the read and review option on the left side of the screen and it brought me to your prescient poem.

*Cow*

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

Timeless poetry is that which stands the test of time. The idea of masking takes new prominence in our lives so this is even more true today than it was when you wrote this in 2011, more than a decade ago.

Remarkable vision is shown in this.

*Cool**Idea*

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

This was my favorite part:

"Learning and wisdom have the power to unmask
Pride and prejudice that block our ascent"

We all hide from inconvenient truths, all the more so when we wear masks. Masks can be real or imagined.

Well done.

I clicked on the Read and Review option on the left side of the screen and it brought me to your short story. It is my pleasure to read and send my thoughts on to you.

*Cow*

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

I thought about how unpredictable the father is. But he is trying to teach his sons, not just discipline them.

His honest with one son is commendable and there is even confiding. So, Jake gets the idea that more is going on then meets the eye. Maybe it will carry him through to teach his own kids. It seems like it might be such a moment.

*Cool**Idea*

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

I liked how the ending was satisfying, but unexpected. The father puts more thought into things than his sons appreciate, remembering his own childhood and relationship with his brother.

I liked that the ending wasn't predictable and that some of the problems faced are timeless. Nice work!

*Cow*I clicked on the Rate and Review option on the left side of the screen and it brought me to your fine short story. It is my pleasure to read and send a review.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

I thought that the use of the name "Gideon" was very appropriate and fitting. Your story is a chilling one that reminds me of a saying about never ask a question if you don't know the answer ahead of time.

You might want to use the last line as your title, if you are so inclined:

"Welcome to the Apocalypse”

I guess the argument against that would be that it might give too much away in the title.

Another title from me would be "Gideon's Lesson"

This is just something to consider as the story is fine as it is, Untitled.

*Cool**Idea*

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

You build up suspense really well and it is chilling to have an expert suddenly become something else. We count on experts to be objective and give us their opinion. We don't really typically see them as people who act.

They have a decided advantage of knowing the result ahead of time. Way ahead of time.

I enjoyed your story very much.

Well done!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

The title is good advice to anyone, but sometimes it is the hardest thing to do.

*Cool**Idea*

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

The key is always time and the passage of time. If we just hang on, it will get easier. I think that is true because time changes how we look at things in subtle ways.

This was my favorite part because of the time reference:

"The cyclic chains of time portend
a rebirth as the seasons mend
together as the clock hands sweep.
Do not despair."

Also, you did a fine job with a difficult form. It flows very well. The more one says to not despair, the more despair one feels, but then suddenly it can lift.

Well, we never know as the future is a mystery. Monty is still here and going strong after a brief hiatus. Things have a way of sorting out of over time. There's that "time" thing again.

Fine work, as always!

*Cow*

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

I thought about trying to make sense of life and dreams and how they interact. God keeping a watchful eye is comforting, I must admit. That's where you take me in the second stanza, finding a reason or cohesive thread through it all.

*Cool**Idea*

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

This was my favorite part:

"But, darkness cannot grasp the light;
starry Angels in the night also rising like the sun and setting
with the moon light.

There is an ethereal quality laced in with trying to figure out our dreams. It can be elusive, but rarely there might be clear or not depending on our ability to remember.

Very well written and thoughtful, with effective choice of language in a original and engaging flow. Well done!

I particularly liked the third line of each stanza, in other words, the embrace. I will think of this poem as I go on my journey through the mornings and evenings and I will try to think of it all as a positive embrace.

Very inspiring words! Well done!

Toupee & All

What brought Hoovsie meandering or prowling in a space time continuum over to your port?

You posted before me in "I Write: Enter the Second Decade"  so here I am to read and send a review. It is always my pleasure to read and review your work.

*Cow*

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

To me, this is about taking control of the direction that one's life embarks upon at some point.

What leads me to that is the use of the word "Steering" as the first word of the poem. Of course, the element of good fortune runs through the narrative, the reference to having gas and what is needed to make the journey run smooth.


*Cool**Idea*

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

The message I get at the end is to rise above the criticism that we all face sooner or later and do one's own thing.

This was my favorite passage:

"where I finally divine and divest
on my Everest to rest
with the stories I'll sing."

I enjoyed it all. Directionally, one could not ask for a better resolution to a journey that we might control or we might not. It's definitely a question to be asked.

Well done!

I see you are new - Welcome to the Site!!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

I thought about times I had the same thing happen because I was over confident. The best test results (for me) came when I was nervous and unsure of how well I could do. It made me double check everything, which is the lesson learned here - to make sure of the answers.

*Cool**Idea*

I especially liked the ending and that a congratulation was extended to the friend. And ice cream is always good for the soul.

Well written and honest. Nice work!

I clicked on the Read and Review option on the left side of the screen and it brought me to your engaging story.

*Cow*

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

This is an intriguing idea. The title fits what develops here.

I think that a lot fades over time, but it is interesting to think that even guilt takes on a different form.

I would recommend double spacing between paragraphs to make the reading easier on the eyes. That's more related to personal preference (mine) than anything else.

*Cool**Idea*

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading
your item?

I was interested in the notion that there is no going back once something is set in motion. It just gets repeated endlessly through time somehow so that the tragedy and meaning of life gets lost in the mix.

As a reader, I'm left with the notion that at least the protagonist tried, again and again apparently.

Your story is short, but well told. Nice work.

I clicked on the Read and Review option on the left side of the screen and it brought me to your fine poem on a January morning.

*Cow*

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

This is thoughtful and engaging. I had to look up salutary to find out it means "unwelcome". There weren't a lot of words, but what you had here, and the title, required me to use my brain.

Hard lessons are the best ones.

*Cool**Idea*

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

I like the message and the idea that it is coming from the cemetery. Who would know better?

Very clever! I wouldn't change a word of this. If people read it and stop and think about it, it's a good thing.

*Cow* I clicked on the Read and Review option and it brought me to your fine story! It is my pleasure to read and review it.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

You build up the suspense throughout to see what happened to Sally. I kept thinking that she has the perfect husband, so understanding and generous. Why would she long for anything?

*Cool**Idea*

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

The ending was funny. I was glad that nothing worse than what happened, happened. Still, it's a permanent price to pay for a night of fun. Never go out and drink or whatever so much that one can't remember is the lesson.

Sally has the perfect situation right at home it seems.

The grass is always greener on the other side I reckon.

Very well told! Nice work!

What brought Hoovsie meandering or prowling in a space time continuum over to your port?

I clicked on the Read and Review option on the left side of the screen and it brought me to your fine poem.

*Cow*

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

I live in a tornado prone area, whereas I grew up in an area that rarely had them. It is a weird feeling when you know one is coming off the mts. I live in what is called "foothills" not the plains, so usually the storm weakens in the mts.

*Cool**Idea*

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

It is more scary to me that the storm would intensify in strength in the mts, as it does here. It really is alarming when it's reported matter of factly. Its like a inevitable path somehow. I think you have captured that in the intensity and phrasing of your fine poem.

Well done!

A Lovely Signature for me

What brought Hoovsie/tHing meandering or prowling in a space time continuum over to your port?

I clicked on the Read & Review option on the left side of the page and it brought me to your wonderful story!

*Cow*

What does hoovsie/sometimes tHiNg think about while perusing your item?

I thought about their ages. You never tell it to the reader and leave it up to the imagination. I was wondering, at first, where James James got off giving his mother a stern talking to.

It reminded me of my nephew who used to order my parents out of their own house. Nervy. LoL

*Cool**Idea*

What does hooves moo and tHiNg applaud about while reading your item?

I thought this was delightful and your characters of James James and Jennifer definitely engaged my interest. At the end, I felt like James James was adorable. That was quite a transformation!

Well done!

What brought Hoovsie/tHing meandering or prowling in a space time continuum over to your port?

I clicked on the Read & Review Option on the left side of the screen and it brought me to your fine poem. I decided to read and send a review.

*Cow*

What does hoovsie/sometimes tHiNg think about while perusing your item?

I thought about not answering when they knock. That is something that not everyone agrees with, but I do.

Your poem flows very well and I learned a new word, "perdu".

I took it to mean "lost" here. The swipe at the French was clever!

*Cool**Idea*

What does hooves moo and tHiNg applaud about while reading your item?

I definitely could identify with the desire to want to hide from the world at times and you effectively express that in an entertaining rhyme. There has been a lot of that desire to hide for everyone this past year and a half, so your poem is certainly in keeping with the times we live in.

Well done!

What brought the hand of tHiNg meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

*Cow*I am a judge for " Unicorn, Bunny Writing Contest Closed"  and it is my pleasure to read and review your story.

What does tHiNg think about while perusing your item?

I thought about friendship and how motivated Cecil is to make his friend, Bradley Bunny, feel better. He tries his best and then figures something out and takes it to him, for them both to enjoy. Not finding a rainbow he can get hold of, Cecil adapts his choice and finds something even better to perk up his buddy.

Lifting Bradley's spirits is very important to his good friend. You can tell that Cecil takes more joy in his friend's well being than his own, which makes him a quietly heroic and admirable character. Can't ask for more than that.

*Cool**Idea*

What does tHiNg applaud about while reading your item?

I thought that the way you described things was enchanting, it created a picture as I read. Very imaginative description and, of course, an inspiring friendship where one cares about the other so much.

I thought it was wonderful and I enjoyed reading it very much - well done!

What brought tHiNg meandering in a space time continuum over to peruse your port?

I clicked on the "read and review" option on the left side of the page and it brought me to your fine poem. I know the love of a dog and have been quite attached to a number of cats so this is something familiar to me.

*Cow*

What does tHiNg think about while reading your item?
I thought about attachment and communication that can come from just a look or gestures. There is a whole language between human and cat or dog. It is for the human to learn how to respond, the cat does it by instinct about who is good.

*Cool**Idea*

What does tHiNg applaud about while reading your item?

I especially like the appreciation for the relationship that is to be cherished for as long as it is here and remembered and held dear later. In many ways there is a romance and enchantment to it that is a delicate balance of the heart.

Treasure these times and they will stay with you, always.

Well done!

What brought the Hand of THiNG to your port?

I am reading and reviewing the Writer's Cramp entries since I am the judge for today. I found all the entries to be very moving.

*Ghost*

What Does THiNG think about while perusing your item?

I thought about how the loss of the relationship is tied into the loss of Sherbert. The feelings run deep in both arenas, but decisions had to be made, as is the case in life and moving forward. Sometimes we overlook things that we shouldn't just to keep the peace.

*Cool**Idea*

What does THiNG applaud about while reading your item?

I liked how things were resolved in the end and there is a sense that a chapter has finally ended, where there might have been a lose end of connection. The pain of loss is still palpable.

Sherbert is part of the happy memories as our animal friends most times are.

Well done!

I am not an expert on poetry or prose. I am merely a reader who loves to read. I am not a proofreader and would rather do most anything else rather than proof read. That is what proofreaders get paid to do. I share my experiences when I read and try not to blabber on too much. I enjoyed visiting with you!
