*Note1* My review is based on professional editing points. It is meant to be honest, encouraging, and respectful in accordance with WDC guidelines.

THE WORD SEARCH

*Reading* A word search centered around Russian politics.

*Smile* WHAT I LIKED

I have always been fascinated by all things Russian, so finding this was a gem of a find for me. The puzzle was created in Feb 2004 and it's really stood the test of time. Heck, 22 years later Putin is still relevant in Russian politics.

*Star* ENGAGING

I found the word search very engaging. I was curious about some of the Russian names and in that regard, the puzzle is educational as well as intriguing.

*Star*VARIETY

There were a lot of good word choices that stayed on topic.

*Star*MECHANICS

I did not spot any spelling/punctuation mistakes.

*Star*PARTING THOUGHTS

The introduction sounds like this is a compliment activity to perhaps something written in the member's portfolio, so if anything, my suggestion would be to clarify the intro a bit. I did not the member was last on Jan 2021. Overall though, if you find Russians interesting, you'll enjoying this word search!

Review of The Garage Scam  

Review by sgcardinMail Icon
In affiliation with The WDC Angel Army  
Rated: E | (4.0)
*Note1* My review is based on professional editing points. It is meant to be honest, encouraging, and respectful in accordance with WDC guidelines.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

*Reading* This was a conversational, train of thought and blow-by-blow look at cleaning the garage and one I can sympathize with. We USED to be able to get a car in our garage but my husband has let it go and now we can barely walk in it.

*Smile* WHAT I LIKED

I was so there to balancing unwieldily items on stuff I didn't think was possible to the garage not going down due to alignment.

*Star*OPENING PARAGRAPH

The story is intended to be flash fiction, so the opening really needs to grab the reader. Here, the story starts rather train of thought and found the hook with all the room the garage offers.

*Star*MECHANICS

I did not spot any spelling/punctuation mistakes.

*Star*PARTING THOUGHTS

The title was a great for this *Lightning2* Flash. My suggestion would be to pull back a little on the train of thought style and add just a pinch more of comedic flare and this story would shine as the conversational tone is already there. Overall, I suspect many would sympathize with an overgrown garage.

Review of Happy-faced Through My Microwave Door  

Review by sgcardinMail Icon
In affiliation with The WDC Angel Army  
Rated: 18+ | (4.5)
*Note1* My review is based on professional editing points. It is meant to be honest, encouraging, and respectful in accordance with WDC guidelines.

*Bookmark* I found this item using the Read & Review feature.

*Reading* THE POEM

Written in 2005, a though provoking poem about where politics can take us.

*Idea* WHAT I LIKED

The found the poem as relevant today as it was back when it was written. It took a topical look at the events that shape responses and land in a nation's laps as it's "politics."

*Star* STRUCTURE

This is a free form poem with a train of thought of dynamic that was eclectic yet always found a way to come back to the heart of the matter.

*Star* MECHANICS

I did not spot any spelling/punctuation mistakes.

*Star* DESCRIPTIONS

I liked:
"bringing our public
psyche into the open,
bruised though it might be
facing world politics.


This is more of a statement, but it touches on the emotional state of the public psyche in the face of world politics and was a reminder that we are all not the same in how we react to world events.


*Star* PARTING THOUGHTS/SUGGESTIONS

The opening intrigued me as it stared at the microwave door, a bit "zombie-ish", trying to process what exactly is happening. The title is a reflective fit for the poem. What I appreciated about the poem was how it dared the reader to go deeper without sounding divisive or raw.

Rated: 13+ | (5.0)

*Star* STRUCTURE

This is a lyric poem with 5 quatrains.

*Star* MECHANICS

*Star* DESCRIPTIONS

I liked: "A sprinkling of characters, seasonal flavorings. Hot pepper for a monster or brass balls for a king." There were so many good descriptions, but this one stuck out to me because good storytelling starts with good characters. Monsters tend to be spicy and kings need some brass balls to get things done.


*Star* PARTING THOUGHTS/SUGGESTIONS

The opening starts with a cup, a twist and a tablespoon of basic ingredients. Then you get to the spices! The title is a perfect fit for the poem. Vibrant and tasty, a well stirred potion for story success!

As written, - Inside we pause, should be paused. I shined my light.

The ending really creeped me out and really sold the story, but it was sad that stepdad had to act like that. Sometimes Adulting is hard. The story followed the prompt for the contest. Overall, this *Lightning2* will definitely spike your heartrate!

*Note1* My review is based on professional editing points. It is meant to be honest, encouraging, and respectful in accordance with WDC guidelines.

*CheckV* I found the member using the Completely Random feature. It's kind of nice because you can find some real gems that way.

THE POLL

*Reading* This is a poll with a pet theme.

*Smile* WHAT I LIKED

It's National Pet Month, so I couldn't turn down this poll.

*Star* ENGAGING

The poll was very engaging with its options. It has all the usual options plus some fun ones and allows for others. I'm thinking Andy here with his spiders. Of course Dogs was the bigger winner.

*Star*MECHANICS

I did not spot any spelling/punctuation mistakes.

*Star*PARTING THOUGHTS

My only suggestion would be to jazz up the introduction a little and maybe explain why you wanted to do a poll like this - personalize it a little. I did see it was modified in 2020 but when you check the online status the member hasn't been on since JAN 2009. Overall, it's a nice compliment for national pet month.
