"Essence of Character" was honestly a well-thought off and creative survey! You had me pondering, thinking back about books and authors I read before. I realized how much more there are to a great novel, its aspects. (Not that I don't know, but it honestly triggered some things I hadn't thought about, for example, culture). That's why characters play such an important role in a story. Once you dislike them, it sort of ruins the story because basically, the reader is supposed to look from THEIR point of view. Characters, you remind me, play such a huge part in a story. Isn't it interesting?
Thanks for sharing! Your effort and time spent is greatly appreciated!
The first thing I thought about after reading this was, "How sweet!" It was truly a fun and delicate poem that made me feel like a little girl again. The rhymes added extra flavour to your piece. All I can say is... this was honestly a well-executed piece. Oh, and I forgot to mention... cute title! That was one of the things that captured my attention, at least.
QUESTIONS/QUERIES
None. Great job explaining what kind of form your poetry was written in. As I am not exactly poetry-writing material, it was nice to know.
GRAMMATICAL MISTAKES/ ERRORS / SUGGGESTIONS I did not see anything that needs correction. Neat job editing your work.
REVIEWER'S FAVOURITES But tempted though I am, I know what’s right.
I also know what’s wrong… but still I might. I like the fact you ended the poem with the words "I might", which is also the title of your poem. Yes, there are certainly possibilities!
LAST THOUGHTS
It was honestly a fun time exploring through a girl's head. I have to admit, it was a satisfying read! Here are 5 golden stars for your effort.
Thanks for sharing! Your effort and time spent is greatly appreciated!
Hello, Professor Moriarty! I saw this on the "sponsored items list" and therefore came to check it out.
Neat folder! I always have problems storing stories and stuff I do for WDC. Keeps falling out, LOL. I like the sortment of this. "100 word stories"? Specially meant for that very purpose? I feel it's a good idea... at least a pretty good one.
I love the title. "Thrifty Times" is real creative. Another problem of mine is that I can't seem to think of the perfect title to name my folders. Hmmm... maybe I should also check out those stories of your's and see what I can get.
There's one thing you might think of adding... an image? It certainly might add some colour to the page! Anyway, that's my only suggestion. Keep it going.
Thanks for sharing! Your effort and time spent is greatly appreciated!

What I liked
This was a touching, heartfelt piece that is something I would read time and time again and not get bored with. It was an inspirational story and I was able to relate to it... on whole. I think everyone can. I liked the image you added to it. It made the piece look more colourful. The English you used was so deep and memorable, but yet easy to read and understand. The way you presented it!
Questions/Queries
None.

Last Thoughts
Anyway, I just wanted to say this is a very touching and memorable piece -- not something easily forgotten! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing this with the rest of us here at WDC. Your effort and time spent to create this story is very much appreciated.
Wow! This was definitely a great read. The descriptions were so beautiful to read and imagine, especially in the second stanza. I loved the way you expressed your talent. This is certainly a masterpiece!
QUESTIONS/QUERIES
None
GRAMMATICAL MISTAKES/ ERRORS / SUGGGESTIONS I did not see anything that needs correction.
REVIEWER'S FAVOURITES A voyage of deep emotion,
in a vast ocean of love, It made me, as the reader, truly able to SEE what you were expressing.
LAST THOUGHTS
For a job well-done, I would like to award this piece 5 stars. I can't imagine a better poet writing this than you.
Thanks for sharing! Your effort and time spent is greatly appreciated!
In this piece, I feel the character was a really lovely person to get to know about. I could see her feelings well, almost understand it. She was very vividly drawn. Good job!
PLOT/SETTING
The plot here wasn't too bad -- simple and well-planned. I liked the way you ended the piece lightly. It made the read very satisfying!
GRAMMATICAL MISTAKES/ ERRORS / SUGGGESTIONS A young woman sat in her lonely apartment her only companion a stuffed teddy bear, which she clutched to her chest. I feel there should be a comma (,) befor the word "only".
She hated her birthday, it had brought nothing but bad memories. I think it would be much better if a semi-colon were to be used instead of a comma.
REVIEWER'S FAVOURITES I enjoyed the part when she talked to herself, and finally decided to leave the place. The pace there was perfect, and the story didn't get too dry or boring.
OVERALL IMPRESSION
Well Jewel, you certainly made use of the words "teddy bear", "cupcake", and "a wagon" well. Overall, I found this to be a very great read. It was nice to get to know about the young woman.
Thanks for sharing! Your effort and time spent is greatly appreciated!
The characters in this piece were very well described! I could easily visualize both Zak and Phil, and how they were like as children. I got to know them very well. Keep it goin'!
PLOT/SETTING
The plot for this story seems to be very well-planned, but a little typical. In this case, it feels right for your piece, though.
GRAMMATICAL MISTAKES/ ERRORS / SUGGGESTIONS
Zak, a short 11-year old with unruly red hair, elbowed his friend Phil in the side, then leaned over and whispered to him, “Their ain’t anyway a guy with no head could ride that horse.” Do you mean to say "there" (the underlined word)? I know this is like some sort of slang or something, but their seems to be really off.
She was reading out loud from a book titled “Erie Tales From The Crypt”, the beams from a battery-powered “candle” providing the only light and casting long shadows across the floor. I feel "erie" is mispelled. I think the correct spelling for it would be "eerie".
“No way!” wit no head he’d be dead.” I don't think there should be an inverted comma (") after the exclamation mark, and the "wit" should be capitalized.
REVIEWER'S FAVOURITES
“Naw, I couldn’t lie.”
“Chicken.”
“Am not!”
“Are too.”
This really sounded like children arguing... Very fitting for the piece, I'd say! It makes me think you still have the "touch" for writing children stories... Sorry, no offense.
OVERALL IMPRESSION
I think you put tonnes of work into this piece! For what it's worth, I was very impressed. Is this a contest entry? If it is, I wish you the best of luck! If it isn't, well... go submit it already. Great job, Lyle, I can't wait to get a read on more of your works.
Thanks for sharing! Your effort and time spent is greatly appreciated!

Then you proceeded to tare it apart. "tare" should be spelled "tear" Satan, has a place for all your kind After "satan", there is no need for a comma.

I LOVED IT! This totally deserves an awardicon. I would give you 5.5 over 5 stars, except it isn't allowed, and 5 stars is the highest. You're such a brilliantly talented writer! I am 13 years old, and you have really given me the hopes of writing - my parents pretty disapprove of it and there are many barriors and challenges - but you have showed me it IS possible. This is definitely a story one can relate to.

Hello Oreo Buddy a.k.a. Hidden Writer. This is a review by your fellow WDC-mate, Sarah~goodbye writing.com, also known as Sarah.
Here is another review from the port raid I offered you
Item title
Ring Around The Rosey
What I liked
the descriptions. They were fun to read, and easy to imagine. The words the writer has put in italics and not... it separates the idea the first 4 sentences... they were really hooking and attention grabbing.
Questions/Queries
Where did you get the idea?
Places that needs some fixings
I think the last 4 sentences, especially the highlighted ones, were a little off and out.... You might want to reread it. It would probably work well without the top 4 sentences... I just find it does not really "connect" well.
My Overall Rating
3.5s
I'm a critique reviewer... so 3.5 is pretty fine, if that's what you're thinking.
Last Thoughts
This was a pretty good try. I like forward to seeing more of your works, Hidden Writer.

My Summer As a Dog
What I liked
The humour in it. The writer had me almost to the point where I had to choke back laughter. Facts and personal thoughts. It's nice to have some solid ones. I certainly know it's rather useful in an Argument essay. The addition of conversation... makes a story less dull, but I think whether or not the writer did this... this story was still very funny The rhetorical question "Why do people think they might want to be an animal?" A change of style in the writer's piece The ending part finished with enough humour to leave the readers satisfied.
Questions/Queries
None
Places that needs some fixings
None that I saw.
My Overall Rating
5s Why? As mentioned, the humour, especially the last bit The flashback of memories the writer leads us to... The content that kept the reader interested throughout
Personal Thoughts
Lyle, this was v. v. funny. I liked the book cover, too, it was very adorable. A personal note… I’m Chinese, if you recall, but dragons don’t really impress me… I have a wonderful pet dog who would probably love me more than if I had a pet dragon, and vice versa. In fact, she is outside whining for me now.
Anyway, just to say this was a beautifully written piece.

The way the writer summarised his entire life story Didn't cram the sentences up with too many descriptions and got carried away (high possibility for writers) The twist of humour (somewhere in the middle) The content... it was filled with lots of activity and didn't bore the reader The start and end of the piece.

Questions/Queries
Is this a fictional write or real-life piece?

With to mom and dad in heaven. "With" is just off, when you have the "to" in the sentence. I suggest you change "with" to went, or just cut off the "to".
