Review of So Far Gone  
Review by Tina M. Courtney
In affiliation with The Rockin' Reviewers  
Rated: E | (4.0)
From:"Showering Acts of Joy Group" Thanks for being the "Showering Acts of Joy Group" Reviewer of the Month for February, 2012. I hope you enjoy our gift to you.Hi my name is Tina and I'm part of the Paper Doll Gang. Currently I'm a student in the Rockin Review Academy and I'm doing reviews to learn how to do better reviews. I want you to acknowledge that all advice here are just opinions and they may be different from another reviewer.

Beginning-This was a personal story about struggleing with an illness and weight problems. I have a family member who is currently having problems as well. My Mother was admitted to the E.R three days ago for symptoms of a heart attack. Her blood results came back showing she didn't have a heart attack. However, her urine showed she had a kidney infection. Some examples of great sentences "Well, the tests came back negative. Good news, at least you would think it was".The passage directed the focused in events happening in your experience. Also, I felt this was a strong passage to "Or is there something else directing my path?"

Rising Action-Acknowledging the character (yourself) had medical symptoms. The Doctor deciding to let the patient continue on chemo pills.

Plot-Doctor-Confirming the results. The character finds out that rheumatoid arthritis was a symptoms sharing in the discovery of her prognosis. She shared the same symptoms that would be found in blood but discovers that treatment would require immediate self awareness.

Falling Action-Deciding to eliminate the medicine out of the medicine cabinet.

Conclusion-Finding a resolution to the symptoms and sticking with the plan of "EA Sports Active Personal Trainer".

Suggestions-Include an additional supporting line that explains why you think the doctors decided to overall determine your prognosis. This could be included at the beginning of your experience.Although I am not even sure anymore the doctors is Introductory to the sentence and comma should be placed after Although. Also you are the one telling your story so placing the comma would go with the flow of the sentence. I liked how this sentence explains well of what your going through. You want to be able to make a statement without getting carried away with the point that you are trying to make. "I wear it well, so one wouldn’t know by looking at me right off that I am sixty to seventy-five pounds overweight, and that is not a healthy way to live" Watch with using the subordinate word that. Subordinates can be used allot in sentences and sometimes isn't necessary to be used in a sentence. Sometimes you can place a period and remove the word that. You can start off the next sentence with I am and sixty to seventy-five pounds. The phrase could either be used with Writing ML. “Some Thing” Examples of great books that use italics is "Chicken Soup for the Soul"


Overall reaction-I liked how you were able to share your experience The passage was understandable for the readers. There were not misspelled words and I liked your easy sentence structure. The passage was easy to understand.

Final Thoughts-I liked how you prefer to word a strong sentence, "I have become, but then I could be a whole lot worse.This was motivational and helpful for those who are planning to loose weight or having some problem now. Thank you for sharing.

Review of Ariadne  
for entry "Prologue" 
Review by Tina M. Courtney
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: 18+ | (4.0)
Hi, my name is Tina. I'm part of a reviewing group"WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group"  learning how to

enhance my writing skills and also learn to give good reviews in the process. I

found your creative story here on Writing.Com on random read and would like to

comment on your item.

First off, I would like to thank you for letting me have the opportunity to read

over your item. Categories I look for in a story is the narrator writing skill,

narrators voice in the story, who the character are, character setting and

place, characters reaction in the story and in plots, and if the story move for

the readers.

I liked how you took breaks in the story with the character tone. Example, in

this particular sentence you wrote,catch him…if he.

This sentence here, "File more than says as much" I didn't understand. See if

it's even necessary for the story to add this sentence or if you could re-word

what the character is saying.

When reading I stayed interested enough to want to read more.

You certainly have the ability to add creativity in the story and

keep the story alive to see what will happen next through out. An example,

"Just added a few more flies to that fishing hat hanging on the wall".

I thought the line you wrote emphasis the main character into the story.

Another sentence wrote that shared passion, Sitting next to her is a

contrast of skin tone, completely pale, with long black curls and bright blue

eyes, the same intensity as her partner.

Suggestion: Re phrase the first sentence in your introductory for better flow

for the readers to read. The senior federal agent is of African-American

decent, long dreadlocks dipping below her shoulders, probing dark

eyes that are almost black. To better see what the character looks like in your

introduction say, The senior federal agent is an

African-American descendant with

 long dreadlocks dipping below her shoulders and

 probing dark eyes that are almost black.

Michelle moves to allow two more agents into the room, introducing them to

Charlie while thanking him for all his help.

The comma being placed after room breaks the flow in the

begining of your paragraph. There was two difference in how

you used your comma in statement.

An example of a sentence with correct introductory and correct comma placement

is in the earlier passageMichelle laughs and smiles, finally warming to the

older man across the desk.Michelle laughs and smiles is in the introductory

in your statement before she finally warms the older man. The above statement

*Right* identifies the two agents who she is letting the agents get an

opportunity to thank through out the sentence.

The sentence is fine just remove the comma to provide a better idea of

what you are saying in the story. “He sent me that picture…come here" no break

here. "He sent me that picture. Come here." You could italics and make it

smaller text to give sincere meaning on behalf of Adriane's character.

Character interaction and bringing the character into the story was good. I

liked how the main character climbed the Himalayas with her Dad. I thought it

brought emotion entering in the story.

The way a Prologue is suppose to be set up you did a great job giving the touch

and the feel of reading one.

Between having the ability to tell what the character will be doing in the

story and knowing the difference between a short story I was intrigued to learn

the difference.

Hi Maggie , my name is Tina part of "WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group" . I found your item in our irish theme listings for our group to read. Please keep in

consideration that these are my opinions only and may differ between one reviewer from another. When I read poetry I look at theme, flow,

consistancy, rythem, ryhms, and the overall quality. First off, I would like to say it's an honour to read one of your poems.*Shamrock*

First Paragraph: You can play saying the flow of the words with the Irish dialect in the form of poetry. I was impressed. My favorite words that

emphasis as you read into the introduction of the poem were ne'er, does your heart crave, Atlantic beatin. I thought this was a good choice

for wording to bring culture of irish poetry.

The third and fourth paragraphs that were great quality of emotions and provided Irish names to give quality. The names that stuck to

me when reading poetry and paying attention to flow and quality were Kilkenny and Liffey. They both end with y's in the name so it played

with reading the poem.

Suggestion: To give this a more of an Irish touch and theme change the words into green text. You will see a box where you can change your

bold, italics, font, and change the color of your text. Find the color green for an awesome effect.

The ending interpretation of last paragraphs were strong and emotional. Felt that the readers could relate and it was easy reading to read.

Overall impression, the words were consistant and was sharp with form of quality and flow. I liked that it was easy to read and that is showed

Irish culture in a elegant form of poetry.

Review of Epilepsy  
Review by Tina M. Courtney
In affiliation with disABILITY WRITERS GROUP  
Rated: ASR | (4.0)
Dear Itchy Water, Thank you for being brave to post this. You show courage and it made me happy. I will be able to write without holding back.
Second and third line I would change. Poetry can be about telling a story. I personally like because it relates in real terms to epilepsy in a positive tasteful manner.


I have tried to keep you secret;
I hoped you wouldn't come known,
but my new friends would soon come to meet you.

You were uncontrolable and embarrassing;
There wasn't a moment you stopped.
Your eyes focused with no second guessing
when you decided to show up, uninvited.

You knocked me on the wall;
I dropped onto the floor.
Your screams came through my mouth
as I lay on the ground, choking and turning blue.

It was my friends who came up to me,
now knowing my secret,
they tried to comfort me
after you battered me.

Hi, I'm Tina. Since I am trying to see about being a member for Rising Star I thought I would do a review for the Rising Star. The first thing I decided to do was to read all these links that titled "Rising Star" so that I may have an idea of how to become a member or get a yellow case. I liked that the links provids subtitles briefly describing what information is contained. However, I was slightly confused because I wanted to find new members or for members who are seeking to members of Rising Stars please read this for reference.
I also took a look at the members list to see who were members and find the reason why Rising Stars is what it is today. One thing that is shown is the contributions but not the motivations describing why it is Rising Stars is what it is today. Yes, there is a history link explaining the history of Rising Star but not one that can specify saying what the Rising Star is today. *Star*

Overall, I see that the group is hard at working ,in maintaining, for members who are dedicated such as the the link Rising Star is.
I hope maybe oneday I can become a member and I will keep supporting the idea of wanting to be a dedicated Writing.Com user so I may have a chance to become a member of a proud group known as "Rising Star".

Hi, I'm Tina. I really liked your poem about an Old Diary. I even liked the subtitle you provide underneath. If you could picture your item center alignment in italics using Writing ML it would spaz your poem. To add a calm image above the poetry would also help and emphasize this. Overall, thought this to be a good quality expression about an Old Diary*Smile*

Honestly, I didn't know what a jester was intil I read a little more of the poem. I was expecting every verse to sound off in ryhms but at the end was a suprise. The ending concluded the poem highest quality is giving the describtion additude. I like. At the end you put an interesting conclusion, "After all, everyone's a jester, at heart it seems.

Hi, I'm Tina. It has so many meaning and is why I am a number one fan of this particular item. There were so many words that described how I felt(as the reader). My empression as the reader is the words did emphasize the title. My impression as person and (self) is my brain went a thousand direction. It was like it was telling me a message. This I'm sure is a great passage that could represent emotion wrote brief. Great job on creativity and wording.

Hi, I'm Tina. Reading the guidlines it was easy to understand. I liked how you used pink for it to be easy on the reader eyes and yet give caution to clarify what the guidlines are. This seems like a fun story to write about. The guidline expressed that it would be a fun story to enter. 100 word submission is a fun enough for anyone to tell. I like the idea to try to get others to make up a 100 word story.

Hi, my name is Tina. I enjoyed reading your story. I felt that the story and the character equalled out well in the story. I felt it was a story and not something to suspense-like watching an action movie. You created great describtion in the story. Ones you mention were the glass windows in the study room, a copy of the class schedule, and the character feeling towards not wanting to sign contract at first. Here is some errors in here. had never been take surprise like that again. This is past tense and you need an extra adverb perhapts. Instead of saying the word take, you could say took. This sentence has some errors and some commas could help give better describtion.

Fixed Sentence-I pictured the field in my mind, the feel of the grass on my feet, the sun on my skin, and the wind in my hair. When I took my next step I didn’t feel the cold tile floor but the cool moist grass. I opened my eyes, the class sat in front of me.

Yep, you just needed one comma after skin and the word and. These are series of elements and could use a comma. Other than that impressive work with great story telling.

Hi, my name is Tina. {Confetti:P}Congratulation for being a new member or a member that has been here longer with "WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group" 

First off, I would like to thank you for letting me have the opportunity to read over your item.

Categories I look for in a story is the narrator, character, place and setting, emotional reaction, plots, and did characters mentioned in story move in the story.

I wanted to almost cry in the last part of the story. Was happy and yet sad with all mixed emotions. Felt this story was brought up the what was happening and down to the conclusion. Suggestion: you may want to revise. Read over the story and make sure that there is no errors. Read and make sure the sentences make sence to the readers. The character of Kana and Linear could use some describtion at the very beggining of the story. Describe more of how old they are and add more details of what they look like. Bring this up in your top paragraphs and not further down when reading more into the story. Other than that I really thought this was a good story.

Wow, this is a really strong piece. I think the last lines in the last part of the poem was very strong. However, the content of the poem is strong and not be suitable for children of the 18 and younger. I have been molested but that isn't the point. We have our strong suits and I think you were trying to say -stay strong- for the members who do read this passage. I like that you did this for that intention. The rating needs to be changed to GC because it is strong content in there.*Smile*

Lol I like the comparison of Angelina Jolie and waiting for Brad Pitt look-a-like. I also like that you brought it up the topic and make it blend with the point you are making in your passage. Thought this was very creative and quite catchy to read.

Gum, I never chew because I am scared it will give crest and be the cause of cavity. However, I do you the colgate flavored dental floss. The material for the floss is different from the dental floss of a cotton string. Colgate dental brand dental floss has the plastic elastic cnsistancy that is easier to streatch between my teeth. Thank you for giving such an interesting passage that was so entaining to read and so enthuastic enough to grab the reader interest in reading it.*Smile*

I really liked the flow and quality of the poem. I though that the poem was flawless and very beautiful. Useing the words "Let me Fly" is trickey to use sense you use it well in a phrase and not in a complete clause in a sentences. Instead of the clause you made me pause with sheer beauty of the meaing of this passage.
