I am no expert on anything. So I can only tell you how something makes me feel. My native language is also not English and I am not an American. So I might not understand culture specific expressions. 5: If I absolutely love the item and would remember it and even recommend others to read it by posting it in my newsfeed. I will also give 50 GPS+ if I have any GPs left in my account. 4-5: If I like the item, but not enough to recommend it to others and post the link in my newsfeed. No GPs. 3 -4: If the item is okay. I kept on reading it because I thought I might change my opinion, but the item failed to meet my expectation. On the other hand I did not find any grammatical or spelling errors in it. 2-3: If the item is something which I didn't get at all and found at least one grammatical/ spelling error. 1 -2: I did not like it at all and could not even feel like reading it to the last.

Dear Joey,
I liked how you injected humour in the story. It was an amusing read. I found a spelling mistake in the 13th paragraph 2nd line quoted below:

"For the next three Sundays, they sat in their pew and spoke with the pastor at the end of the service. The pasture knew they were still committed to the test.."

The spelling of the pastor in the second sentence should not be pasture right?

Otherwise your story is sweet and amusing. Keep writing.

Dear Mr Bear
This thing called love
something that remains mysterious.
So true are your words
when you praise love so glorious.

I liked reading your poem probably because I think I am experiencing this thing called love. Besides, the first stanza almost describes my situation. But then I am yet to find a home. Yet to find out if my heart can find a home. But those who found it, I agree that they are blessed.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about love through this poem. Keep writing.

Before starting to read it, just by glancing at the title, I thought you are would surely talk about substance abuse. But I am surprised at your first stanza. And guess what it made me smile. It is so true, misery wants joy to feel sad. But not just misery, another demon is anxiety. It wants to erase every smile that love brings you and turn that into a frown. Your poem threw light to the darker side inside my soul. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Tim,
I am no expert in poetry and I can only tell you how I feel about your poem. Your style seem to be direct description which in poetry is not always appreciated. However, you can definitely defend it by saying that is how you wish to express your thoughts about your girlfriend. The line I liked most in your poem is "Promenade through walkways" as if you are trying to describe the pleasure of exploring her being. The line I disliked most is the 'A slightly demure posture'. Perhaps as a borderline feminist I find hints of male chauvinism in what you describe.
Anyways, good luck with your writing.

Dear Mr Ladnier,

Really liked this bold piece. Both journalistic and passionate. But what I don't understand is.. you being a journalist.. also did not back out from pointing fingers at your media. Is there not a single media in the whole BIG AMERICA.. the land of free speech that comes up with a different story? You worked in a newspaper too I understand.. did you too dance to the tune of the the majority or did you ever get to speak out the truth?
Media in my country exercise self- censorship.. blogging in social media is done in caution in mere of arrest or murder by Islamic fanatics.. but what fear did you have in your country to keep your mouth shut?
I hope you will throw some light on that.
Regards,
Tamanna

This poem that starts with a sad note suddenly brings a smile and for those of us whose hair have started greying, it gives some sort of comfort. I didn't know such a difficult matter as aging could be written down in such sing-song way. Good Job Fyndorian.

Keep Writing.

Hi Noyoki,

It was an interesting story and was not at all predictable in the first two paragraphs. You descriptions are nice and lyrical, which also augments your story.
I found two typos in the following two line:
It was an inelegant weapon, designed for people who weren’t skilled in knife fighting, but it made her feel better to carry it and Caroline wasn’t going to say stay home out of fear.

Caroline’s hands roamed his large back, stroking the firm lines as the kiss burned though through her, lighting every nerve.

For me the ending was a little hard to believe that Caroline would die under the weight of a dead man. That's a bit hard to imagine.

Otherwise good job. Keep writing!

Dear scribe,
Your write up reminded me of one of my embarrassing skirt stories and made me smile too. It gave me inspiration to write it down and share it with WDC members.
On a different note, I think we women have come across a lot especially with regards to choosing what to wear. The mini-skirts have been replaced by others. But men like your Adolf Hitler look alike boss have not changed. You still find them in offices trying to turn their eyes into X-ray machines.

Thanks for sharing the anecdote.

Your description is very detailed and intrigues the reader. It was definitely not a boring read and did justice to the category you assigned-- that it comedy. In the third para second line I think this sentence needs some revision.

" I had been up since turned eleven last night"

Keep writing!

My God Bob,

I should not have read this piece, being well aware of my fear of hens, chickens and cocks. I knew there has to be a reason behind my inexplicable fear of this particular bird species. Now I know. And I can tell everyone, that I am not crazy in being afraid of these fowls who tastes so good when cooked. History gives enough reason to be afraid of them.

I am discovering the world anew through your writing. Thank you Bob. Please do keep writing and keep posting interesting stuff in your portfolio.

I am going to give you a 4.5 because I know I will have nightmares of murderous roosters tonight. ;)

Review of Disturbance  
Review by Tammy
Rated: E | (4.5)
Dear New Age:
This poetic way of expressing yourself is better than the journal entry you have written earlier. Reading For I am Disturbance reminded me of my favourite poet who wrote 'Bidrohi' (The Rebel) in my language. There is a damn care attitude in the poem which I like. Good work.

Keep Writing

Review of My Life.  
Review by Tammy
Rated: E | (4.5)
Dear New Age,

It is a very Interesting. I don't think I have read anything like this, before, here in WDC. You are speaking openly about the evolution of your religious and political faith. Though I did not quite understand all that you were saying specially about the political views, but I realised that you must be somewhere from Great Britain.
I learned many new terms but to me all of seem very confusing agnosticism, atheism, apatheism. I once tried to read about these and tag myself with one, then I realised, it is a futile attempt. I would rather stick to my non-religious identity.
But yes, your writing did invoke thoughts. I will be pondering on these for sometime, I can tell you that.

I hope you would explain the last line about the Universe and the Creator, a little more.

Thank you,

Tamanna
