Review of The Dinner  
In affiliation with The WDC Angel Army  
Rated: E | (4.5)
         This story sounds like an episode out of a hit situation comedy. I was waiting for Tom to get up, say a few expletives, not pay his bill, and storm out of the restaurant.

         I did not encounter any spelling, punctuation, or grammatical errors. The story was laid out well. Is this for the Flash Fiction contest?

         This story has possibilities. I'd want to know more about Tom. What is he all about? What about Randy/Raoul?

         After reading this, I'll never look at Dinner the same again. Write On!

         First of all, you had me fooled. I thought you were a guy because of your handle. Now, about your story. WOW!This is very powerful. I think you were in the right about everything you did.

         I hope that she gets her head screwed on straight before something drastic happens. I had to go through the same thing with my best friend. Her first husband was physically abusing her.

         This was written beautifully. I did not see any spelling, punctuation, or grammatical errors. The story flowed with ease. The imagery and continuity were exact. You did a great job! Write On!

Review of Voiceless  
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP  
Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
         I happened about your port and found this story. I love how you narrate this. It makes me want to know more about Melanie What I liked was the story's imagery. There weren't any spelling, grammatical , or punctuation errors. The continuity flowed well. I want to know more about Melanie's back story. Why didn't her aunt and uncle come to rescue her, if they knew that horrible things were happening to her. What time period is this?

This story was told well. You did well. Write On!

Review of THE WEDDING RINGS  
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP  
Rated: E | (4.0)
         I liked this poem because it told the story of how the two of you got together. I like where you say that he puts up with you and you don't know why. For easier reading, you would be better off breaking the stanzas up. It looks like the abab pattern. It would also tell the story better. This way, it seems jammed and in a mess. I didn't encounter any spelling, grammatical, or punctuation errors.I'm glad your life is happy now. Write on!

         When I first opened this in your port, I didn't expect what I found. My first impression was that it would be a journal entry like many others. What I found was you pouring out your heartfelt feelings onto these waiting pages. Suggestions that I can offer are to put this in paragraph form. It would be an easier read. I have a best friend whom I've know for thirty-nine years. We are both on Facebook. She too, has bipolar disorder. May I post the link to your piece on her page?

         It turns out that I'm a neighbor. I also live in Michigan as well as my friend. My grandparents lived in your area years ago.If you ever want to bend an ear, drop me a line. Keep writing, IT HELPS.

         I was looking for something to review and found this. All I can say is Wow! It is really something . We treat authors{if you aren't one of them}like royalty. When my son was younger, he loved reading the books from Julie Andrews and her daughter. They were called "Dumpy, the Dump Truck." When we read all of the books in the series, he asked if there anymore. I said no, after calling our local library. I thought about writing them both to tell them how much my son enjoyed the series. I never had the nerve to write.

Review of Reading List 2013  
In affiliation with The WDC Angel Army  
Rated: E | (4.0)
         This list is very impressive. It looks like you like certain authors. I, personally, am not a Stephen King fan. What genre do these other authors write in? I went to your port for a specific reason. I noticed that your upgrade will expire on Feb 15. Are you an upgraded member? I don't have enough gps to give you an upgrade. I can give some gps to put toward one.I hope it helps. Write On! Keep Reading!

Review of Purple Trees  
In affiliation with Let's help each other grow...  
Rated: E | (4.0)
         At first, this piece seems hard to understand , and it was difficult to read. Making the comparisons between when you were very young and now were nicely stated. As I read on, I began to make sense. I guess, in a nutshell, what you are trying to convey is that everyone should try to step out of their normal life and start something new.

         I agree with your interpretations. As a matter of fact, I have "stepped" out of the box a few times. I found that the new world is not so scarey.Thanks for the insight. Write On!

         I usually don't read these type of stories, but this one caught my eye. I loved the flow of this and its imagery was quite vivid. There is one spot where you have to make repairs. The following morning a poor fisherman from this very town went fisherman from this very town went fishing on the tiny island that is. Other than that, I didn't encounter any other spelling, grammatical or punctuation errors. Maybe at some other time, I'll read the rest of your story. You did a great job! Write On!

         I like this group very much. However, I do have a question. In the off months, do the participants have the option to not participate?What I like about this is the option for the participants to come up with prompts. They are usually ones that are thought provoking and generate the most responses. I did not encounter any grammatical errors.The layout and explanations are clear and concise. Write On!

         This quiz brought back many memories. As I read the questions, I had the scenes running in my mind. During the holidays, I want to hide and not emerge until the New Year. This film came out when I was four. There's some other tidbits about the film that you probably don't know. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Write On!

Hi Katie the Conibear ,
         I loved this story. It held my attention to the end. But, it made me ache for more. The imagery was very vivid. I never was a foster child or ever fostered a child. My heart aches for these kids. I didn't see any spelling or grammatical errors.The only problem is that you leave the reader hanging off the edge.

         The questions I have are:Did Sarah finally feel comfortable in the new family? Did she ever explain the significance of the bear? There must be a story behind it because, although it shows wear, it's not broken or missing like other toys she had. I want to know Sarah's outcome. Keep up the good work. Write On!

Review of Love Wears a Mask

Hi Allyann ,

         I just finished reading"Love Wears a Mask [18+]and liked it very much. However, there are a few things that would make the story more enjoyable to readers. The story would look better if it was done in paragraphs. I didn't find any spelling or other grammatical errors.

         Even though I don't read this type of genre, I found the story to be quite interesting. The suspense of the masquerade ball had me at the edge of my seat. There wasn't anything I disliked about the story.If the two men were best friends, they should've known each other by the sound of their voices.

         Thanks for sharing. Write On!

Review of Glory and Honor?  
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP  
Rated: 18+ | (4.5)
         You had me from the first sentence. It was almost at the end of the piece where I realized it was a futuristic piece. By the time the year 2100 arrives, we'll all be long gone. Is this when the Jetsons appear? The one truth that is universal throughout the piece is the fact that people will do anything and everything to protect the ones they love. You did a great job in getting the readers ' attention. Write On!

         This poem is very sad. As I read it, I pictured the sparrow as she was going through the ordeal. I did not encounter and spelling or grammatical errors. The poem's imagery was very clear. The sparrow longs for what anyone-animal or human- wants. We want to be comfortable and warm. You did a great job with this. Write On!

         My first impression of this story was one of definite liking. I know it was told from the mother's point of view, but, if given the opportunity, would fathers act the same way about the kids. I did not see any spelling, grammar, or punctuation errors. As I read this, I thought of the way trips, school outings and other important things were planned by my mother. Fathers need to get back into life.

         This poem was not what I expected. However, I was pleasantly surprised. My first impression was one of trepidation. I am not a fan of medieval times. Writing this from the horse's point of view was insightful. The imagery was quite clear. I did not encounter any spelling, grammatical, or punctuational errors. You did a great job with this and I commend you. Great Job!

Hi Wolf,
          Your poll i interesting. I chose all types of music. I really don't listen to heavy metal or hard rock. I tend to radiate toward soft rock and instrumental of late. Rap is not one of my favorites either. What do you consider traditional music? Thanks for taking my poll and making me aware of yours. Write ON!

This was a story that was totally unexpected to me. I thought it wold be about a girl who was suffering with some type of mental illness. I did not see any typos or other grammatical mistakes. It sounds like a science fiction story that, in this day and age, could come true. Very well written and easy to read, even for readers that are not science fiction fans. Write ON!

This story is very intriguing. When I began reading it, I did not think it would be. Having each chapter written from the perspective of each character was a good way to pose the varying points of view. Reading this makes me glad that I did not live in that time. Being in an arranged marriage is not a good thing. And being controlled by your husband and his mother is definitely not good. This flows very well and I enjoyed the story to this point.

Review of Romance

Rated: E | (4.5)
This is the first time I have read a description of a woman from a mman's point of view. Not to mention that the man wants to control himself and keep his feelings at bay and in check. As I read this, I hd the song "Lady in Red"in my brain. I wish there were more men who were not that eager. I did not encounter any typos or other grammatical errors. I really enjoyed this piece. Thank you for letting us women know how men feel. Write On!
