Hi bricabranch,

This is a wonderful first chapter. The chapter opens with a brief history of Phil. This takes all the reader's attention and focuses it on him and the chapter. They will read on to know more about Phil. This is a fabulous opening hook. The detail puts the reader all the way into the chapter. You have set up your main characters and plot very well for your reader. The dialogue is well done and realistic. The characters speak like real people. The chapter is well paced. It moves fast enough to keep all the reader's attention, yet it moves slowly enough to allow the reader to easily follow what is going on in the chapter. I did come across one structural issue that needs your attention:

1)You have neglected to put each piece of dialogue in its own paragraph. You should remember to consistently do this keep your writing clear for your reader.

The characters are well developed and believable. They come across as real people. Great job.

Hi VEE,

I don't write it much, so I love enjoying the marvelous poems from the poets here on the site. This one caught my attention with its enigmatic title and tantalizing synopsis. It promised to be emotional and uplifting. I had to find out what was next.

This is a fantastic poem. The tone is formal. It suits the poem and subject matter very well. The poem is about a girl in Africa who strives for Actualization and finds her way in challenging circumstances. I have had a few Facebook friends who describe Africa as having a rather hard society, and I read to the last word to see how this girl would fare in chasing her hopes and dreams. I loved this poem. The free verse works well in this poem, and you have handled it very well. The reader can understand the frustration that the girl must have felt during her journey through life. The poem flows extremely well. It is a pleasure to read. You have used punctuation and grammar consistently in this poem. There is nothing to distract the reader from their reading pleasure.

Review of The Caring Soul

Hi Naomi,

This is a fantastic piece. The title is enigmatic and attention grabbing. It tells the reader very little about what the piece is actually about. They are intrigued and will begin to read to find out more. You introduce the topic with a brief description of conditions in the Philippines during the Pandemic. This takes all the reader's attention and focuses it completely on the topic and the piece. They will read to the final word. You have written about a lady who took her recovery from Coronal Virus on herself when the hospital was not able to treat her. You are conversant with your topic and easily make it comprehensible for your reader. The length is perfect. You completely develop your topic without belaboring the issue and making the piece tedious. You use a formal, organized style that is very appealing to the reader. Great job.

Hi Lexi,

The title of this really told me nothing about what was actually in the chapter. I was completely engrossed just wondering what was to come next. I just had to read this chapter.

This is a wonderful chapter. The chapter opens with a bit of a mystery. The Manor starts emptying of people. Why is this happening here? The reader can't wait to find out. This is a fantastic opening hook. The detail puts the reader all the way into the story. They are completely enthralled with the family's personal challenges. The dialogue is well done and realistic. The characters speak like real people. The chapter is well paced. It moves fast enough to keep all the reader's attention, yet it moves slowly enough to allow the reader to easily follow what is going on in the chapter. I did come across a couple of structural issues that need your attention:

1)You have neglected to either double space or indent between paragraphs. You should remember to consistently do this to keep your writing clear for your reader.

2)You have neglected to put each piece of dialogue in its own paragraph. You should remember to consistently do this to keep your writing clear for your reader.

The characters are well developed and believable. They come across as real people. Great job.

Hi aracrae,

I didn't know what to make of this chapter from the title. It tells very little about what the chapter actually contains. Now, I know that those that read the first part of the book would probably realize what might be going on. I was fascinated and just had to begin to read.

This is a fantastic chapter. The chapter opens with personal drama as Kal worries about Bel having nightmares. The reader believes that Bel must have some sort of personal problem, and is anxious to find out if Kal will be able to help. They will read on. This is a wonderful opening hook. The detail puts the reader all the way into the chapter. They get completely involved as the discussion gets more and more personal. The dialogue is well done and realistic. The characters speak like real people. The chapter is well paced. It moves fast enough to keep all the reader's attention, yet it moves slowly enough to allow the reader to easily follow what is going on in the chapter. The characters are well developed and believable. They come across as real people. Great job.

Hi The StoryMistress,

This is a fantastic piece. The title is enigmatic and attention grabbing. The reader will be learning something about the site, but exactly what is unclear. They will begin to read immediately to find out more. You introduce the topic by voicing a question that most members have asked themselves at one point or another, including me: How can they gain exposure. This tells the reader exactly what they will be learning about and puts them at ease as they know they are not alone. They will read to the last word. You have written about how to gain exposure for yourself and your work on Writing.com. This a wonderful piece for any new person on the site and other older members who might still be struggling. The length is perfect. You completely develop your topic without belaboring the issue and making the piece tedious. You use a formal, but friendly style that is very appealing to the reader.
