My First Impression: You have nailed it on the head with this weather. The other day was in 70s, and this weekend, looking at a chance of 1-3 inches of snow! In Texas? When I lived in Michigan, it was Meh, ok. But Texas! LOL
My Favorite Part:One day Spring will win...Always a promise to look forward to.
My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:You truly inspire me, and I am grateful to get to read your work. Thanks for sharing this encouraging poem.
My First Impression:I like the title of your entry.
My Favorite Part:No work is insignificant. All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity"
Martin Luther King, Jr. Well said.
I agree whole heartedly with your writing. Yes, it might not be a "glamorous" position, but the cogs of society would come to a screeching halt if it weren't for the "unglamorous" workers. We owe them many thanks, and appreciation.
My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:I enjoy reading your work. You inspire me, and give me lots to "chew" on. Thank you.
My First Impression:I am glad to be reviewing your post. It is good to know that you have strong feelings about these different issues. I cannot take issue with anything that you have written. I was aghast at the stories I've heard about the Salvation Army. It is supposed to be helping others; it seems they help themselves
My Favorite Part:LOL...All of it.
My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:Keep doing what you are doing! Thank you for sharing your work, and your thoughts.
My First Impression:A simple, yet seemingly forgotten truth. With all of the infighting, it's sometimes hard to remember that we ARE united - by country, by blood, by those who gave all defending us.
My Favorite Part:The last two lines should make it clear to all. "The flag stands for the country/So proud and strong" May it become that way again!
My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:Well done. I saw no grammar/mechanical issues. Thank you for sharing your writing, and good luck in the contest.
First Impression: I'm glad that the weather has moderated for you. It has for me as well, although I haven't forgotten a couple of weeks ago, it was nasty.
Favorite thing: I like how you just say what is on your heart, and I sympathize about the salty snacks...prices are just ridiculous. I cannot even imagine trying to raise my kids with prices the way they are.
Questions/Suggestions: Keep on writing and sharing your heart. You are an inspiration
First Impression: A very fun poem, celebrating the explorers of this age. It's hard to believe how old the orbiters were, and how far we've come/ have yet to go in the space program.
Favorite thing: The final stanza: "Crews of Orion, poised to do your part:/Let exploration fire up your heart".
Final Thoughts: I found your writing in the Read & Review port. I'm always happy to read your work.
First Impression: I really do believe the lack of sun causes a type of depression. I always feel better having been in the sun, even for brief periods of time.
Favorite thing: Giving thanks to God for allowing the sun to shine. I also like that you use a larger font for ease of reading. And I always enjoy poetry that is centered. It just looks nicer, somehow.
Final thoughts: Hang in there, dear Brother! We are on the upswing to spring and summer once again. Keep up the great writing. Your work inspires me.
First Impression: A very apt description of one of my favorite fruits.
Favorite thing: I love the color orange you've used to make it stand out. I also love the font size and line spacing. This makes it easy on the eyes, and fun to read. I also love the use of the footnote. I need to incorporate this into my writings.
Questions/Suggestions: Good luck with the contest! Keep up the great work. I always enjoy your writing.
First Impression: The title caught my attention. I also liked the description of the stories. Pirates are always cool. I am a fan of Pirates of the Caribbean series.
Favorite thing: The battle was fast paced, and it was easy to read. I liked the dialogue between the different characters. The young pirate left behind in the ladies' room was a surprise for me as well as the ladies...LOL
Questions/Suggestions: I guess I am still wondering about the title: Jane Austen: Fifty-Two.
First Impression: A short style of poetry with the heartfelt prayer to the Lord.
Favorite thing: I love learning about new (to me) poetry styles. I had not heard of an Oddquain before; Thank you for sharing this style of poem, and showing what contest you entered it in. I always like a little "backstory" info.
Questions/Suggestions: The only thing is that maybe use a little larger font? I'm getting new glasses in March and the smaller font sometimes makes it hard to read...warranties expiring, I guess. Thank you for sharing your poetry.
First Impression: A nice warm sentiment in your letter. Family, food, and most importantly, remembrance of our Savior's birth.
Favorite thing: While we cannot physically give Jesus a gift, we can give Him our heart. Most wonderful thought, and a good reminder.
Suggestions: I love the colors you go back and forth with. It adds to the festive feel of your letter. Please, keep doing what you are doing! It is most appreciated.
First Impression: I am doing a review of your first page of signatures/animations but am using the first one to do the review. I love the different ways you've come up with your signatures. The butterfly is just so pretty.
Favorite thing: It's hard to pick out a favorite one. How do you choose which signature to use? These are all quite lovely.
Final thoughts: I am so glad that I got to nose around your portfolio. You sure do have a lot of things here, and you are ever so busy. You inspire me, not only with your writing and encouragement, but with your testimony as well.
Hiyas! This review is part of the January Raid for SuperPower Reviewers. I also wanted to wish you a Happy WdC Anniversary!
First Impression: Your Review Forum is very easy to read, and understand. I like how you incorporate different ideas depending on what it is you review.
Favorite thing: That you give a 5-star rating with love. I also like your suggestions area.
Questions/Suggestions: As you would say, Keep up the great job! I am glad to get to know you and your writing here at WdC.
You are pushing yourself. By stating the desire of your heart - to be whole, to live...that is what you need to do, and are doing. But it will take time. It will come; albeit too slowly, I imagine. I believe in you, and I believe that the person you shall become will shine more beautifully, for all that you have endured.
I loved reading your work, and I am excited to see what this year has in store for you
Hello Spring in my Sox Hi! I am reviewing your flash fiction as part of the I Write Challenge for 2023.
My First Impression:Ok, then; that is an evil villain in the making, if I ever "heard" one. I could almost imagine the moustache twirling and the evil cackle.
My Favorite Part:That the villain has made his objectives clear and that he shall be unstoppable.
My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:Where, oh where, are our heroes? LOL...it grabs you and makes you read to the end. Good luck with the contest.
After reading your work, My impressions are these: Wowzers! I was sucked into your story and felt like I was witnessing something amazing. I believe that Christians cannot be possessed, but can be oppressed by the devil and his minions. I've seen both sides of this coin..."seeing a devil behind every bush" to "ignoring them". I also like that sometimes, we just need help, but that ultimately we need to be looking to God for our help. It isn't our strength, it is God's strength in us.
My Favorite Part(s) The surprise about an un-talked about spirit being the root of the other problems.
Suggestions/Questions:Thank you for sharing this. Is this story based on a particular memory? I enjoyed reading this.
After reading your work, My impressions are these:I am so glad that I am looking at your writing, and I've been very much blessed by your memories that you have shared, along with your sweet faith in our Savior.
My Favorite Part(s)I chuckled as you scribbled Bible passages into your training manual...very clever! I also like how you share your faith, and it reminds me that God does like to bless His children at times...we just forget. This story has been a blessing to me.
Suggestions/Questions:I hope that you continue to write out your memories...they will be cherished, I am sure. I can only hope that I can be a blessing to others, as you have been to me.
Happy New Year! And Happy Anniversary at WdC. Since I'm nosing about your portfolio this New Year's morning, I thought looking at your "Dear Me" letters would be appropriate. Dunno, just sounded good to me
After reading your work, My impressions are these:This is your 2013 entry, but to me it still resonates after all this time. Insightful questions, Am I good enough as I am? Do I have to change for you to like/love me?
My Favorite Part(s) Making the "deal" with yourself to love yourself...this made me smile.
Suggestions/Questions:I see an award by the title, so I am assuming you won? I love this affirmation in your writing. I am glad I found the time for nosing around your portfolio Thank you for sharing!
My Favorite Part:"Forgiveness cannot be held/it must be given away" You couldn't have written a truer statement, in my opinion.
My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:A wonderful reminder for us anytime, but especially embarking on a new year. Letting go of the poison, the toxicity through forgiveness. Thank you so much for sharing!
My Favorite Part: The line, "On my list are these resolutions: be patient, write more, and love" If only everyone would take that into their heart...what things could be done!
My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:I have enjoyed reading your work this past year, and I am so looking forward to 2023 here at WdC with you. You have been a blessing to me; more than I can ever express.
I am a little confused. I thought reviews were supposed to help others become better writers. I don't have enough grammar knowledge (that is punctuation), but I am not a fan of misspelled words. I ask those I review for about any spelling questions. I have maybe had a couple of reviews that I thought were a little harsh, but the point is to improve...only can do that by practice, whether reviewing or writing.
Do not be other than who you are. I hope your circumstances improve with the new year.
My First Impression: I LOVE your take on the year in Acrostic form. Each month spelled out the different activities that take place in each particular month.
My Favorite Part: October, with the "yummies" and everyone dressing up, including mom and dad.
My Suggestions/Final Thoughts: A very nicely written set of poems. I'm glad that you posted them
My Thoughts:Christmas time can bring out so many emotions; and while we try to focus on the positive, sometimes the dark can be there as well. The uncertainty and fear show clearly in your work.
My Favorite Part: The last stanza struck me, with the "crying time of year" juxtaposing against the silver bells and decorating for the holidays. I also like how you explained the prompt and for what contest you wrote it. I really do like the "footnote" that can be hidden away.
My Suggestions: I didn't see any grammar issues or mechanical issues. Thank you so much for enlarging the font a little bit. I usually like poetry centered (just my taste) but the subject makes this linear format work just as well. Thank you so much for sharing your writing. I enjoy reading your poetry.
