First Impressions


Oh you poor soul. My heart goes out to you. If I could reach out and hug you I would. I too have gotten past the crybaby stage with such a picture for society that most think I am one of the strongest people alive. I may not cry in front of you but I am one of the biggest CRYBABY'S you could ever meet. I am very sensitive. I am the one that waits until I am alone before I let out my frustrations. This is about as useful to my body as a million cans of diet coke.

Tips and Suggestions


try omitting the word and before smile - by omitting this word when reading it makes it seem almost mechanical in actions kind of like your smiles
Fools requires a capital
a hardened shell requires no capital
I long requires a captial
a comma needs to be inserted after instead

Outstanding Highlight


A crybaby at heart - that is what I have often told people when they think I have emotions of steel or rock

My Final Say


You did a great job here. Keep the pen to paper and let creativity roll as I look forward to reading more of your art in the future.

First Impressions


I do not think I could agree with you more. It is a great piece for newcomers to read. It took me a long time to share anything I have ever written. My first review was absolutely striking. Offering me helpful hints and invitations by words of encouragement to write more. I can remember my second review as well. It took me a week to get over it. Tore me to piece. I use the term me because I look at my works as a part of me. Then I realized it is the view of only one reader. So maybe I did not write the way they wanted me to. If Stephen King did not write any more because one person put down his work - what would line the shelves of his fans.
I myself am my biggest fan, critic and editor. Keeping that in mind anything else is just one readers point of view.

Tips and Suggestions


This piece stands very well on its own. I have no suggestions at this time.

Outstanding Highlight


The entire third paragraph. To let someone who could have been having a bad day ruin your chances at learning and growing is wrong and you have expressed the desire to get past this perfectly.

My Final Say


Reading your works is always a pleasure. I appreciate your sharing. Keep your pen to the paper and let the stories flow. Great job.

You have expressed a lot of passion in this piece. It is a beautiful piece. I am glad I had the chance to read this.

A few suggestions for you to look at.

The use of capitals throughout the piece. This is hard on the readers eyes. It makes it hard to keep your place while reading.

In the second line you did not capitalize I - one of the few words that should be capitalized.

The short slang words such as thru etc is great when talking on messenger with friends and family but in a piece like this it is not recommended.

It is up to you how you take these suggestions and what you do with them. They are in no intended as an attack towards your piece.

I look forward to reading more of your work in the future. Keep up the good work. This is a job well done.

First Impressions


This was a nice poem. Short and sweet. You got to the point and left out the extras. The certain saddness was forgotten with the last line. This line is the one that brings this whole piece together. It has a nice flow when you are reading this piece. Good job.

Tips and Suggestions


In the second line you start with the word not being capitalized but all the other lines start with a capital - you should follow harmony with the piece.

The way a reader reads this poem aloud because of the rhythm one falls into have you considered breaking each line into two lines. It is fine the way it sounds. I just mention this because of the pattern one falls into

Outstanding Highlight


I love the last line - the poem that brings it all together.

My Final Say


You did a great job with this piece. I look forward to reading more of your art. I hope that you are still putting that pen to paper.

I was thinking that a nice title would draw more people to the art that you have greated. It would be a shame that this would be ignored only because it did not have a lead in.

First Impressions


You did a great job with their first date. It was simplistic yet intrigueing. The type of date was not something you would have really thought of considering how they actually met. Overall it was a great piece to read.

Tips and Suggestions


I will try to keep all comments and suggestions grouped by paragraphs in hopes that you will be able to follow my train of thought

The use of contracted words is not recommended except in first person narrative or dialogue. May I recommend that you go over the piece once more looking at the places where contracted words have been used.
You might want to look at the formatting of this piece. A space between the paragraphs would be easier on the readers eyes eliminating the amount of times one goes over the same part.

The first eighteen paragraphs stand well on their own

Durham is spelled incorrectly

insert a comma after the word hers

the next sixteen paragraphs stand well on their own

footprints is one word

the next five paragraphs stand well on their own

insert a comma after the word down
insert a comma after the word high

omit the word were before spent
insert the word and after white,
insert the word and before no gray
cheekbones is one word

the next five paragraphs stand well on their own

insert a comma after the word hill

the next six paragraphs stand well on their own

a question mark should be placed after the word Ken

the next twenty-one paragraphs stand well on their own

insert a comma after the word again
instead of like try as if

the next two paragraphs stand well on their own

omit the word preliminary

the next six paragraphs stand well on their own

insert a comma after show
delete the comma after naked

the next seven paragraphs stand well on their own

try aloud instead of out loud
white-collar is hyphenated


Outstanding Highlight


I like the choice of dates. You almost would have thought they would have returned to the place they met. Something you would read in a typical romance story. This was different and it was nice.

My Final Say


You did a great job on this piece. Well done. Keep on writing. I look forward to reading more of your work.

I like the story idea, but unfortunately it was hard to follow. The concept was received in the manner you wanted to convey it but you wrote like one speaks this is fine for dialogue but in narrative it makes it hard for a reader to go on.

First Impressions


You have done a good job in regards to starting a true romance. I have found that this chapter the begining has given a great outlook as to our main character. You have given just the right amount of her outlook without losing the interest of a reader. The introduction of her love interest was a nice touch.

Tips and Suggestions


I am going to try and keep all of suggestions and comments sorted and grouped by paragraphs in hopes that my train of thought is easily followed.

Overall - The formatting of the piece - You should leave a space between the paragraphs it allows for easier reading for the reader. It cuts back on the reader going over the same text
The use of contracted words is not recommended - except in dialogue and first person narrative. You have used this throught out the chapter should you be interested in editing this ---

The first paragraph is a little confusing in some areas as to if she was driving why is she looking at groundhogs and empty seats -
"Isn't that..." Is that not is how it should read. Also have you considered adding the next sentence to this one. Instead of the comma before children insert the word and
Do not start a sentence with and - the is an alternative list of words you can use but in this case I recommend omitting the word

For the first sentence of this paragraph have you considered - Had they not done everything right?
omit the word was before interrupted
two-bedroom is hyphenated
townhome is one word

townhome is one word
after change insert a comma and include the next sentence to complete the question

insert a comma after the word home
insert that after the word felt
"She pulled her hair into a ponytail and got into let the hot water ease the tense feeling out of her body" This is a little confusing as you have already written that she got into the shower
The sentence starting marriage - have you considered "Was marriage not the next step?"
Do not start a sentence with the word but... there are a list of alternative words you can use but I recommend omitting it in this case

The next four paragraphs stand well on their own

After the word tall insert a comma

The next five paragraphs stand well on their own

This paragraph is a little confusing in the wordiness have you considered
She was on the verge of doing something outrageous and sluttish. When he pulled away asking her to “Please get ready,” her hand was already on the way to the fly of his Docker pants. It left her grabbing at air, her intention to have her hand full of something a bit more firm than air."

Have you tried "A Definitely different, racy look, but the perfect..."
eyeliner is one word

The next six paragraphs stand well on their own

You have created a beautiful piece describing a person who there is a deep love for. You have written it with a great deal of description. Well done on this piece.

I have one suggestion. The first sentence is long and when the reader tries to read this outloud there is a stubbling. It is lengthy and missing flow. Should you decide to edit this piece this would be an area easy to correct but should you decide not to it still stands fine on its own

You did a good job here. Keep up the good work. May you keep writing as I look forward to reading more of your art.

An interesting story you have created here. You have chosen an unusual choice of names throughout the piece which makes for an interesting read.

Tips and Suggestions


I will try to keep all suggestions in order as they appear in your piece and grouped by paragraphs in hopes that my train of thought is easily followed

The use of contracted words are not recommended unless it is in dialogue or first persona narrative
Formatting - spaces between paragraphs makes it easier on the readers eyes reducing the chance of going over the same area

Have you considered omitting "as he was called" it is not really needed
the comma after Felix the Swift is not needed
after the word darkness include a comma

Instead of women gushed over have you considered for which women gushed
Instead of He was also known have you considered Felix also known

Instead of was still have you considered omitting the word was
Instead of "The city itself was surrounded by great city wall....." have you considered "Great city walls that built to keep strife out of the city and armies at bay surrounded the city itself."

This is a sweet poem about finding your "One True Love."

I remember going to my locker and finding little notes from my boyfriend and how it made my day. I can appreciate how you must have felt recieving that note.

Keep up the good work. You are on the path to stardom. I look forward to reading more of your work.

This is a lovely poem about stars falling from the sky. Short and sweet it arrives at the point you are making keeping the readers interest throughout the entire piece.

Suggestions

I am a little concerned about the title having the appearance of being crossed out.

The formating is great easy on the eyes and besides the one suggestion I think it stands great on its own.

Keep up the good work I look forward to reading more of your work. A job well done.

I love this poem. The style, formatting and the message behind the words. You definately used your creative streak to complete this one.

Great job.

This is a great little inspiration booster when you think you are at the end.

The highlight I think has to be the last stanza. It says so much in the few words written.

Keep up the good work. I look forward on reading more of your art.

First Impressions


The words ring so true. We often forget that the only constant in our life is our family and in which we seem to take advantage of and take for granted. The fact that you realize this allows you to continue a relationship with your sister.

Tips and Suggestions


Starting a sentence with and is not suggested, if you require this than terms such as "in addition" and "moreover" are more suiting ~ in this case I think you can omit this word
The use of contracted word is not recommended you might consider trying to write the words out.

Outstanding Highlight


We may not always see eye to eye. ~ any relationship realizing this allows for growth

My Final Say


You did a great job. I look forward to reading more of your work. Keep on writing.
