Review of Collection  
Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
A story that I`m glad isn`t true about a person, who works in Collections, that will
collect from the person in debt one way or another. You followed the theme
throughout the story very effectively. I liked the way you presented it by starting
the story like it was just a normal situation, then suddenly you relate the true situation with the bound and gagged couple who are then killed by the collection
guy. keep the words flowing, write on.

Review of " Books "  
Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
An emotional, heartfelt, and insighful essay that I enjoyed reading. You kept to
the theme very effectively throughout the essay. You expressed your thoughts and feelings as to why Sue left you, leaving all those books behind, with many different
reasons that enabled the reader to understand why you felt as you did in the
aftermath of her leaving. The answer to your last question about essayists possibly being novelists with A.D.D. I have a grandson, who is now 10, with it . He has been telling and making up stories since he could put words together.
Someday he may be a writer! Keep the words flowing, write on.

I found your short story quite funny from my perspecive as someone many years
older than the girls in the story. You followed the theme throughout the story quite
well. I like the way you presented it with the girls talking back and forth, as girls do,
in their own longo. As I read the story I could mentally picture them in the hall conversing as youportryed in the story. Write on.

Review of Kitty

I really enjoyed reading your story about "Kitty". I liked the way you presented it by gradually leading the reader up to the point of what "Kittty" was. As i read the story,
I could mentally picture the events that occured to Steve because of the many
discriptive words you wrote to convey what was happening throughout the story.
I was also able to feel the emotions that were portrayed in it because of them.
The picture at the end just reinforced the story. Write on.

Review of Rebirth

A very well written free verse poem that delves into what rebirth might be like. You followed the theme throughout the poem very aptly. You expressed what you percieved rebirth might be like with many discriptive words that enabled
the reader to visualize, mentally, what you were portraying in the poem. As I

An emotional, sad, nicely written short story that i enjoyed reading except for the
way it ended. You kept to the theme throughout the story. I liked the way you
presented it by telling the story in the third person. The words you used to convey what was happening and how Charles was feeling enabled the reader to mentally
picture what the lighthouse was like and relate to how he was feeling and why.
I understood he felt guilty for his father`s death because he was the one driving drunk, but don`t believe suicide was the right decision. Write on.

Your prose poem about the life cycle of leaves is nicely written in that you write
how you have fun raking and playing in them. The words you write to tell the rest of the story in your poem enables the reader to visualize, mentally, the events you
portray in the poem. Suggestions, don`t use "and" everytime to connect an idea
because it drags the thought out. Using another connecting word such as "so,
therefore, however, thus, etc. or just a "comma'" can be more effective. For ex:
"The leaves are falling "while" I`m raking them----". "---leaves stop falling "so"
the trees ---". Write on.
