*CakeB* "Anniversary Reviews" Open in new Window. is celebrating A QUARTER CENTURY of Writing.Com!*CakeP*


Hi Dad Author Icon. Congratulations on your 24th Writing.Com Anniversary. Very impressive milestone.

I'm Ja-Ja-JINX Author Icon, and I have the honor of reading and reviewing your offering {item:}. My review is courtesy of a special edition of "Anniversary Reviews" Open in new Window., which allows me to review any item from a member who joined WDC within the first five years of existence. Thank your for supporting the site during those early years.

I invite your attention to the comments below. Please bear in mind these notes are from one on the outside looking in; ultimately only you can decide what's right for your story.

*Note1* Overall Impression. I think a lot of folks who have reviewed your humble poem missed the point--you said you were intentionally seeking mediocrity ... ok, bad. Personally, you had me at "Twas a dark and stormy night."

Actually, I was suitably impressed that you dashed off your rhymes in just five minutes. I liked the imagination used to fill some of those rhymes.

Perhaps I'm going in the wrong direction with this review than what you intended, but I'd like to think I can recognize a dash of skill to go with that imagination.

*Exclaim* Technical and Editorial Considerations. In this section I normally list those areas that relate specifically to the mechanics of your writing--punctuation, grammar, spelling, etc.

         *Bullet* A couple of punctuation issues:

 You used a dash in hex - ed; you should use the same for sex ed,  

 The actual punctuation of Twas is without the single quote mark.  Yeah, that surprised me too. And yet 'tweren't is correct. Go figure.

*Star* My Rating.  5.0.  If you were looking for something on the other end, my apologies.

*Heart* Thank you for sharing this offering. Please accept these comments as offered in friendship and support. They are but my humble opinion.
