Summary: What a great piece of work...how personal and uplifting. To expand upon your list of favorite things had me thinking of what my own favorite things are and to start my own list.

Suggestions: None. I think this is great work. You have written and edited with care.

I saw your request for review. Please know that this is only my opinion and that I give it with the utmost respect for your work.

Summary: Quick action....lots of movement and excitement. I like the title...it drew my attention so that I was curious about the story. Your description of the battle was stormy...the attacks moving along quicly and efficiently.

Suggestions: I would have liked to see the names of the wizards rather than you refer to them as red and black figures. I would have related better to the characters had they been named....it would have been less confusing wondering who was who? I would also separate the sentences more rather than have one long sentence with commas.

EX: A hooded man dressed in flowing red robes, glances up and down the dirt track, he spots his opponent.

Could be: A hooded man dressed in flowing red robes turns. He glances up and down the dirt track and he spots his opponent.

Overall: A good story with action, excitement and fire. I enjoyed reading it and can't wait to read it again once the revisions are done.

Write on and write happily.

Review of Wide Load  
Review by kittygirl
In affiliation with Dream Team HQ  
Rated: E | (4.5)
I saw your request for review. Please know that this is only my opinion and that I give it with the utmost respect for your work.

Summary: An interesting and somewhat sad story that is so true to life it is almost scary. How many young girls starve themselves for that perfect body...or what they perceive to be perfect. How you expressed your main character measuring herself against models in magazines was fitting and crucial to this work. The title was fitting...considering the nature of this work. I especially liked the ending....proof of the real disease that affect so many women and men.

Suggestions:
Lardass. (I believe this should be two words)
Always picked last for team sports, she could never run fast enough, never get a basket, never do anything right ( I would reword this to : (She was always picked last for team sports. She could never run fast enough. She could never sink the basket. She could never do anything right.) Perhaps its just me...but I find this a little cleaner and less run-on.
She had two weeks. (This is an incomplete sentence)
the dj yammering ( Ibelieve D.J. should be capitalized.)
Lastly, I would separate the paragraphs with a double space between the way you did the first paragraph. The one long group is almost too much on the reader.

Overall: I liked this story very much. Your grasp on such a painful subject is a credit to the sensitivity of this issue. I can't wait to read more of your work.

Write on and write happily.

Impression: Fun, fast and a time of childhood innocence. (sp?) It made me smile and I could just envision riding in that car with the characters. The tempo kept this poem quick and lively.

Rated: E | (5.0)
I saw your request for review. Please know that this is only my opinion and I give it with the utmost respect for your work.

Impression: Chuckle, chuckle, chuckle. What a quick and witty piece. So like people to judge with out knowing the person they are judging. So like some to be so righteous that they fail to recognize the flaws in themselves. A good, short and to the point story.

Suggestions: laughing a little inside I said "No, why am I going to hell?" ( Laughing should be capitalized)
later I wrote this: (Later should be capitalized.)

Overall: Great piece, fun to read.

I saw your request for review. Please know that this is only my opinion and that I give it with the utmost respect for your work.

Impression: I find that this work is helpful and informative. It gives guidelines to work with that will improve the writers skills in writing, reviewing and editing. I will use these rules/suggestions in my own writing as I am one who finds that I tend to forget the rules while I am writing and then have to clean up and look up the rules when I am editing my own work. You give clear and concise examples, provide simple explanations and provide further resources for anyone wanting more in-depth information.

Thank you.

I saw your request for review. Please remember that this is only my opinion and I give it with the utmost respect for your work.

Impression: Sadness, hopeless, despair, defeat???? Wow, this is one sad piece. I like though the way you have worked through what you see as Life/pain. It is a difficult subject to write about and with so much self-help guru's telling us we should always be happy....always be positive.....always be. Why can't we just feel our misery and let it work through us? Your short piece brings out a lot of questions, as it should.

Suggestions: Formatting should be double spaced to make it easier on the reader.

Overall: A painful piece but good in its truth for the writer.

Write on and write happily.

Impression: A very well written piece with vital information for the general public.

Flow: Good

Suggestions: None

I am a student of Whole Foods Nutrition.....so I have alternate views of what we call nutritious foods/beverages of today.

I saw your request for review. Please remember that this is only my opinion and that I give it with the utmost respect for your work.

Impression: Congrat's! I like the tone, I like the truthfullness, I like the overall picture you paint of where you've been and where you are planning on going. I can't remember who said it but I'll quote it anyway and ask forgiveness later,
'Change is when we become so sick of being sick that it is more painful to stay the way we are than it is to change to what/where we want to be.' I think you have hit this point in your life.

Flow: Good flow, zippy and to the point.

Suggestions: Format...double spacing is easier on the reader. Spell check...I came across a few spelling errors. Proof read and you should be all set.

Overall I enjoyed reading this piece. You bravely laid out all your plans for the next year and made the decision to follow through...the decision is the hardest part.
