Review of Beneath the Surface - Chapter 1

Review by My Sox are Empty

In affiliation with disABILITY WRITERS GROUP

Rated: E | (5.0)

This is a cool story. I like the idea that different people have different abilities. It would have been cool if the narrator could talk to animals, too. Then she could be like the little mermaid and have friends like Sebastian and Flounder. I like her friends now. I think I would like to read more of this.

Review of The Sandman

Rated: 13+ | (5.0)

Oooh, twisted. I love this story. It is sooo deliciously vengeful. I wish it really were that easy to deal permanently with a man like that. It is well written and flowed smoothly from beginning to end. It really read as a highly satisfying conclusion to the situation

Review of Wing of sorrow (Chapter 2) Jack POV

Review by My Sox are Empty

Rated: 13+ | (5.0)

The last line makes me believe he will most certainly end up not only trusting but depending on a Doso for the resolution of the plot. I appreciate the extensive showing-not-telling of the brothers' relationship. It really works for me. I would re-read to see if you need the couple of places where you tell us about the relationship. It seems like it is pretty clear without them.

Review of Weakness

Review by My Sox are Empty

Rated: 18+ | (5.0)

This is a good chapter, but who is the man who stops her? Is it Mr. Robert or someone else? You need to make that clear. The man who stops her seems to care more about her than Mr. Robert does. Or is this a softening of Mr. Robert? The story is otherwise easier to follow.

Review of Meaning in Fiction

Review by My Sox are Empty

In affiliation with disABILITY WRITERS GROUP

Rated: 18+ | N/A (Review only item.)

This is a clear and concise essay on the necessary elements for a compelling story. It told a story and broke it down into layers of meaning in an easily understandable way. I was impressed with how clear and smooth it is. I read another essay that had critical information that did not flow as well as this one did.

Review of Basic First Aid, Burns

Review by My Sox are Empty

In affiliation with disABILITY WRITERS GROUP

Rated: E | (5.0)

This is a very informative piece. It suffers in places from how it is formatted. Sentences are split awkwardly by gaps and hard returns. Some of the verbs used are not in the proper tense and do not agree with the rest of their sentences. A good fix for this is to read it aloud and make sure what is written is what you mean. Otherwise it is an excellent effort and holds a lot of important information. Great piece.

Review of Wattle We Do

Rated: ASR | (5.0)

I love this poem. I am so glad you won. Congratulations. The emojis are perfect too bad we didn't have an emu and a wombat emojis that would have been perfect. I would suggest that you put a dropnote at the end with the prompt and a link to the contest or the note announcing your win.

Review of Cornerstore of Hell

Review by My Sox are Empty

In affiliation with disABILITY WRITERS GROUP

Rated: 13+ | (5.0)

Nice story poem. That is definitely the way to torture a kid, though running an ice cream truck through a neighborhood and apologizing that all you have left are prune popsicles is a good way to do it too. I wonder what these kids did or didn't do to end up in hell.

Review of The Wonder Of Winter

Review by My Sox are Empty

Rated: E | (5.0)

I like this poem. Everything from the choice of the phrase to the last line it just so works. The rhymes are good. I know how hard it can be to get those lines to start with the right letters and you managed it with a rhyme on the end and the flow of a story.

Review of Broken souls

Review by My Sox are Empty

In affiliation with disABILITY WRITERS GROUP

Rated: 13+ | (5.0)

This is a poem I think my wife could easily relate to. As a child, she suffered every form of abuse there is a word for. This captures conversations we have had. I have been to these places myself. Not as bad as my wife had it, but I am Gen X and know my share of abuse and neglect. THis poem is really universal in its message, and I appreciate that.

Wow, you managed to work in all the genres and did it so smoothly that if I were reading it and they weren't bolded, I would never have thought you hit the prompt. THey just belonged where you put them. great story I loved it! I loved the ending. I wonder if they would end up together.

Review of I don't quite understand

Review by My Sox are Empty

In affiliation with disABILITY WRITERS GROUP

Rated: E | (5.0)

This is a sad poem. Especially sad because I spent much of my life in this place. Even with medication, I still end up there. The hurt and confusion definitely read as real to me. The last stanza is especially moving, the last line got caught in my chest. yes I have been there too.

Review of Equal Portions

I do not think i could say "ewe" enough to cover my disgust. He ate their son? AND didn't share with his wife? He lied about their money. There are not enough cast-iron pans in the whole world to knock sense into this man's head. Though she did seem to have it covered with a number of blows.

Review of Everybody Be Cool

Review by My Sox are Empty

Rated: 13+ | (5.0)

Impressive details, well described and concise. I heartily approve. It really captures the scene well. Have I mentioned I am impressed? Well, I am. I was not aware of this poetry form. Thank you for educating me. I appreciate it and may attempt it myself. Perhaps you should put your note at the end into a dropnote. It really isn't visually separated properly from the poem otherwise. On the other hand, it does make you read about the form. To each their own I guess. Excellent poem and it really appears to be on form.

Review of Murder Dose (WIP)

Review by My Sox are Empty

In affiliation with disABILITY WRITERS GROUP

Rated: 13+ | (5.0)

This is a good start, but you could beef it up a little. Do the letters scare her? Could her stalker see her glasses before the note or were they fairly new? If she is not scared by this, why not? How long has this been going on? How does she receive the letters and the rose. That kind of thing isn't something that would likely come in the mail. Where does she find them. Why was it in her purse if she was just going to throw it away? Please do not feel I am trying to tear you apart I just enjoyed it so much that I had questions I badly want answered in this chapter not later. One actual criticism, I put my glasses on before I even get out of bed. Her doing it last rang untrue for me.

Review of Alexander Wright (chapter 2)

Rated: 13+ | (5.0)

This is an interesting chapter. I may go and seek chapter one now. That should give me some background on why she is stalking him. This is a thriller so i suspect things will get pretty bloody in the end. I also assume she means murder when she says murder

Review of Humanity's Last Funeral

Review by My Sox are Empty

In affiliation with disABILITY WRITERS GROUP

Rated: E | (5.0)

This is a strong poem. Powerful in the images it presents to my senses. I wonder what caused our demise. I wonder if any animals survived. It is sad but sweet. We are not really separate from this world but this world is fine separate from us. That makes us awfully small doesn't it.

Review of The Eye

That is twisted and dark. I love it. One of your better ones I think. The images are vivid and surreal. It seems like he's having a nightmare as he dies. It reminds me of that john Travolta movie where he became super smart because of a tumor and ended up dying, only creepy.

Good story. I am going to have to read more of these I really like them. The two I have read have been great. I love what you did with the prompt. It works well in this like it happened to be in the story not like it was written around it. Really, really good story. Left me wanting more.

Review of Orb

Review by My Sox are Empty

In affiliation with disABILITY WRITERS GROUP

Rated: 18+ | (5.0)

This is an interesting story. I like the premise. It is a bit ethereal and a little more difficult to follow for me, but that is probably because I am having trouble focusing my mind on things for any length of time. I love Naga; they are a complex character, and I like that. It isn't easy to write such complex characters in short stories. You did a great job.

Review of Atone

This is a lovely poem. I appreciate the difficulty of the form you are attempting. Rhyming and beginning the next line with the last line of the line before it. It is a beautiful poem and very smooth. I love the way the poem follows some kind of stream of consciousness.

Review of Tide of Wood, Sand, and Sea

Review by My Sox are Empty

Rated: E | (5.0)

This is very character-driven. It is all about the identity you choose, whether you can live it or not. The surfer that doesn't surf and the captain that does not have a finished boat both struggle with their identities at least to some degree. I am not sure I would put the epilogue in a drop note. it is very much a continuation of the story that should be seen even by those too lazy to open a drop note. A larger font might be nice, too.

This is a very compelling start to a story. I could see so much potential conflict and drama in this story. I want to continue from this start. Of course i have a billion other ideas waiting in line to be written too. So, maybe you could write it and post it in the feed to read and review?

Review of Whispers of the Forgotten Bungalow.

Review by My Sox are Empty

In affiliation with disABILITY WRITERS GROUP

Rated: E | (5.0)

I like the story, but don't see a connection between the husband's ptsd reactions and the accidental fire. Perhaps these two things should be in separate paragraphs unless you intend to imply the husband was the cause of the fire because of his ptsd. I think you should enter it in the veteran's contest it does have an element that would qualify for it.
