Review of The Golden Castle  
Review by audra_branson
Rated: E | (4.5)
lol - awesome beginning line - i really did laugh out loud.

“These shoes look better on me! - need ending quotations.

This is a really cute piece.

I would put another space between paragraphs to help with readability on this site at least.

Very fun read for all ages.

Review of Hit (wo)men

Rated: ASR | (4.5)
This had some really cute parts in it. i like the voice you use in it -- very natual.

We are only 15 minutes into the - i would write out fifteen.

I think it would visually and with readiblity hlep if you broke the paragraph up. It would hlep the reader - you could do it when you say the parts about back to the mission, etc.

Fun ending. - fun read.

Overall Impression:

This is a gem - I love how your words and tone can always take me to another place even when my 12 year old is playing rock band as loud as possible.

another talent you have is making me like genres that i'm not usually fond of. I think it's the humor you put in them.


Improvement Areas:


Grammar/Spelling:

spending most of his thirty seven years behind - i would hyphenate thirty-seven - but it's really no biggie

My Favorite Part:

I can't pick out a favorite - i laughed at so many of the little one liners you smoothly slide in there. -- they are so unexpected and priceless.

Overall Impression:

This is exactly what flash fiction should be in my book. It is intriguing and complete. It takes you to another place briefly.

Improvement Areas:

He said a young woman who had congenital heart disease received Hannah's heart and is recovering - i would use "was" instead of "is" to keep the tense consistent.

Grammar/Spelling:

Hannah so loved life, therefore, there is an extra space before so

only did I lose my wife; I was told by the doctors that my daughter may - semicolon should be a colon

Audrey in a special home for autistic children, - extra space before special


My Favorite Part:

I love the twist at the end. It is almost a karma thing -- it is simply beautiful.

because of her propensity for smart-ass answers - i love this!!!

In fact, I love all of this - i'm laughing and i haven't even gotten to number 1 -- my students make fun of a teacher that talks in third person so when you wrote that you hate that too i had to laugh.

15. I’m a perfect size 6, but I keep it covered in a layer of fat so it won’t get scratched. - awesome!

Kay, I loved this -- you gave me a true laugh today - - I happen to be a sarcastic lover - it was a survival tool growing up .

Thank you so much for brightening my day.

Review of The Dream  
Review by audra_branson
Rated: 18+ | (4.5)
This was terrible sad and disturbing but very well written. You immeditately grabbed my attention.

On police siren - you have an apostrophe - i don't think it needs one - police isn't owning siren it's used as an adjective to describe what kind of siren.

A mother sacrificing her son is beyond my comprehension; it gives me chills. Which i'm sure is the intent.

Your voice captures the tone perfectly.

Overall Impression:

This is a subject which I'm sure many have struggled with. I've had kids in my classes tell me they learn more life skills from Sims than by their studies.

Improvement Areas:

I got a little lost in the whole mommy thing. Perhaps a little more background would clear that up.

Grammar/Spelling:

and you actually seem them date and things like that but I digress. - seem/see

teachers life is that she gets paid decent and even the possibility - teacher's life

Letting all of these people down is unfair on them and that - i would use to instead of on

"You're CRAZY!", - "You're CRAZY!" Jed yelled (no comma since you already have the exclamation point)

Wow this is really kind of scary, and yet true to life - not only in regard to the economy but to teenagers' attitudes and thoughts.

I know this is a flash fiction piece, but i would love fo see an expansion of it. I think it could make a great full story. You've really peaked my interest.

I have to say after reading two of your poems, that I can tell you have a talent for rhyme. It seems effortless in your writing.

The topic - you painted a very viivd, and sadly realistic picture. I feel the strength in this piece and I think it is inspiring for embracing the differences we all possess.

Improvement Areas:

My Favorite Part:

I have to say my favorite part is just the message. One thing it did make me think of, is how sometimes differences are celebrated but others they are scorned. He gets to make this distinction? Oops, I'm rambliing.

It was a well-expressed and important writing.
