Princess Megan Rose Alzheimer's or dementia is an awful disease, I totally agree. I am living for 4 months now during Corona time with my stepmom of 86 years old. She has no dementia, fortunately, but suffers real bad from her short term memory failure. She forgets a lot within minutes. But her core is the same, she is a lovely and positive lady with lots of love in her heart. I mustn't forget that when I find it sometimes difficult to cope with her and her memory loss. Lovely entry! *Bigsmile*

Review of Dear Me  
Review by

Rated: E | (4.5)




Hi Bryce Kenn , I found your writing ad random. Hopefully, this review will find you in good spirits. *Delight*

On Title/Subject
Dear Me letters are a great feature of Writing.Com every year. This letter covers 2015 which is 5 years, a long time ago. Can you still remember writing it, executing it?

General impressions
Short but sweet. I liked the way you addressed yourself in this Year of Awareness. What a great goal to be more aware of yourself, your emotions and consequently your writing.


Favorite Parts
The middle part where you describe specifics of your writing goals is interesting. That part where you describe the traps of procrastination I personally can relate to. Goals are easily made, to execute them is quite another matter. How did you do? Can you still remember?

Suggestions
If this letter is still part of your portfolio maybe you can add a line or two describing how you fulfilled these goals of 2015, or not. It would be a nice gesture to both yourself and your reader how you did.

Final thoughts
It was a good letter to yourself and I enjoyed reading it.

Keep up the good work, enjoy writing!

Hi, jdarts

I found your plug in the Newsfeed and since you're new and it is your first over 150 word write I thought to take a look. *Bigsmile*

A lovely short but well written story. It's a little bit sad, but I liked reading it. Especially the contemplation on his mistress Smoking hit hard, being a smoker myself. I definately should quit before it's too late. Your wonderful little tale told me that. Thanks for sharing. Keep writing!

Hi Bob retired ,
Thank you so much for writing this poem. My uncle, youngest brother of my late mother, died while serving in 1961 (when my mother was pregnant with me). So, uncle Frits and Papua New Guinea have a special place in my heart. He stepped on a mine on the last day of serving for his country, the Netherlands. Quite ironic. Only 21 years old. Tragic.

You capture the image, smell, and heart ship of war very well.

Thanks again,
WakeUpAndLive️~🚬🚭2024

Hi Tim Chiu ,

A lovely little poem on anger management. Well done! I loved reading it. It has a good rhyme and rhythm, the words were well chosen and told a clear story in 4 stanzas. I think it's your own experience, is it not? In that case, it's even better because you overcame your anger and analyzed it and found an answer to this predicament. Good for you!

Thanks for sharing, write on!

Hi Jack Henry , I found your writing at your request. Hopefully, this review will find you in good spirit. *Delight*


On Title/Subject
Great title, that covers its content, partly. The by-line is self-explanatory. Although the main issue is book reviewing. Perhaps you can add this to your title?

General impressions
A good and solid book review. More than that, half of your story is about e-books and self-publishing before you get to the actual book review itself. I liked that because it made the portrayed subject more profound.
Your writing style is very good, factual but not tedious, with humor and wit. The facts came across because of this, which is very difficult because telling about numbers can be difficult. You nailed it because of your refreshing writing style.

Favorite Parts
If you, the aspiring author burdened under the weight of numbers is thinking give-up, throw your hands in the air, and die, well that is an option. Having the gumption, tenacity, and perseverance to complete a book in the first place... possibly not a good one.

A very funny motto for reading on and exploring this book of Jason B. Ladd.

Suggestions
Be careful with links in your writing. Although it gives perfect information, it can decrease the tension of your own piece and take the reader of your writing out of the flow of reading. Sometimes it is better to just add a line or two yourself instead of giving the link. Just a thought.

Final thoughts
A profound and good book review on this Book Review Banzai formula. It is interesting enough to try to lure the reader into reading the book itself.
I loved your last line. Thanks for sharing.

Keep up the good work, enjoy writing!

Hi Jack Henry , I found your writing at your request. Hopefully, this review will find you in good spirit. *Delight*


On Title/Subject
An intriguing and very inviting title which promises a lot for the story. I was eager to read on.

General impressions
To start with, it was a difficult piece for me to read. I am from abroad, from the Netherlands where English is not my mother tongue. I had to look up a few words and read this piece several times before I could fully understand its wit. I liked that, I learned a lot from reading this profound and witty blog.

I could understand immediately that this was a blog from an experienced writer. The pace, the irony, the wit, the humor and the writing style are very good and developed. It is a grabbing piece.

Favorite Parts
Parody, lampoon, sendup and ‘Yo momma so fat’ routines are the fabric of many stand-up comics brave enough to face an audience. When it comes to social media whereby a creator hides behind unanimity, a joke can take the mickey in a malevolent mousey way. And it’s not restricted to individuals. Social media sites create memes deriding other social media. Which begs the question, is social media the new age pillory post?

A very good start to your blog.
I also liked the way you make headers for every little part in the piece.

Suggestions
Perhaps it is my lack of understanding the language, but I missed out on a conclusion of your piece. You started with a question, it would be nice if you finished with a sort of conclusion. Although it's a blog I kinda missed a last line in this piece. Perhaps you could add a final thought on the matter?

Final thoughts
A great and powerful piece of statements I could relate to. I liked your writing style a lot. Thanks for sharing.

Keep up the good work, enjoy writing!

Hi Logan R.H. , I found your writing at your request. Hopefully, this review will find you in good spirit. *Delight*


On Title/Subject
A good and interesting title for a horror piece. I was eager to read on. Only when I read it, the fact that Noah was in a car crash never entered the story. Why put it in the by-line? It has no function.

General impressions
Good, solid horror story. I liked the pace of the story, climbing towards several climaxes of horrific moments. Your writing style is also appealing.

Favorite Parts
Darkness surrounded me and so did the creature. The creature is darkness, the personification of the dark.

Great line, it grabbed me by the throat.

Suggestions
Despite this great story, something bothered me from the start. It was the tenses you used in describing this tale. Because of its tense, it's a little bit stiff and it lacks life in a way. Perhaps you could try to rewrite this piece and use the present tense instead of the past tense. It would benefit the story in my opinion. Just a thought.

Final thoughts
A tale with a lot of suspense, well written. Because it only contains description it's a little bit stiff. Perhaps changing the tenses would give this story more power. Thank you for sharing.

Keep up the good work, enjoy writing!

Hi lucifer very very very 1st , I found your writing in the psychology genre. Hopefully, this review will find you in good spirit. *Delight*

On Title/Subject
Intriguing title and sub-line that covered its content. I was eager to read on.

General impressions
What a great poem this is. I loved it. It's repetition, it's tempo, it's rhythm. It reminded me of the wonderful poetry of Gertrude Stein.

Favorite Parts
a winless win is a winless losing
a winless win is a winless showcasing
a tie is a conquer of a tie
a tie is a conquer of a winless tie
a tie is a conquer of a conquering tie
conquering is conquering a,
conquering tie


What beauty, it left me speechless.

Suggestions
Although it's just a detail: I would like you to put a space after the comma use in : time is to conquer,time is winless,time is showcasing. It's distracting.

Final thoughts
A philosophical poem with great meaning and rhythm. I loved reading it out loud. Thanks for sharing.

Keep up the good work, enjoy writing!

Hi A. C. , I found your writing at your request. Hopefully, this review will find you in good spirit. *Delight*


On Title/Subject
An intriguing title and sub-line. It made me want to read on.


General impressions
A really interesting little story about a woman's memories of a very important part of her life. But the most important part, her last hours of her life you left out. I thought this was a missed chance since you are the writer. What happened to her, was it a deliberate act or an accident? What did she do, feel and encounter that last period of her life? Although the finding of her body made a good ending I was missing that part you didn't describe. It felt like an important part was missing.

Favorite Parts
As Wayne held the four-leaf clover up to the mottled sunlight, a single ray caught it, illuminating its tiny silhouette. Suspended in the golden glow, Rosemary remembered how the shamrock resembled a small seraph bestowing her blessing.
And so it was that fifteen-year-old Rosemary Aldoy sat beneath an oak with Wayne Rhetson as dappled daylight drifted from the heavens to dance on a pair of satin slippers and cowboy boots.


A very intimate and tender part of the story. Well done.

Suggestions
Could you take a look at the paragraphs and put a blank line in between? It will make the read better, now the text is a big blog.
Furthermore, take a look at the tense of the ending, you might want to change that into past tense?
And I missed that important part of the story, her last moments before she died.

Final thoughts
A promising story that isn't finished. You are an excellent writer so it must be a piece of cake to put in more details of those last moments into the story. Thanks for sharing!

Keep up the good work, enjoy writing!

Hi Dane , I found your writing at your request. Hopefully, this review will find you in good spirit. *Delight*

On Title/Subject
A good title and sub-line that covers its content. I was eager to read on.

General impressions
An interesting tale with a lot of text to describe the scenery. Try to put empty lines between paragraphs, otherwise, this blob of a text is a bit intimidating.
To avoid dullness in the beginning of your text you might consider short and longer sentences.

Favorite Parts
The hallucinating trip of both students at the end of the story. Finally, something is happening.

Suggestions
* Anyhow (,) there isn't a whole lot to show
* And dr. Tau (,) you can just join me
* My name is Clementine
* so (she) just nodded
* "My body is so strange" and other thoughts in Italics?

Final thoughts
You are a very good writer I can tell, no doubt about that. But in the beginning, the story tends to fall into a slow motion of beautiful description and small talk between people who just met. Please examine this beginning again and see if you can spice things up a little bit. You don't want your readers to stop reading.

I liked what you were trying to accomplice here, but the pace and rhythm of the start are a little bit too slow for my taste. Perhaps long and short sentences alternating? Perhaps more blank lines between the paragraphs?

I liked the ending very much. A complete surprise, a pleasant one.

Keep up the good work, enjoy writing!

Hi C.M.Morrison ,I found your writing at your request. Hopefully, this review will find you in good spirit. *Delight*


On Title/Subject
Interesting title, but the first part - she acted the fool - of the sub-line isn't quite covering this content. Perhaps because the chapter isn't finished?

General impressions
Wonderful new chapter in a sequel. It is very well written en full of exciting features describing the crowd before a heist from the main character. I really loved reading this chapter. It was thrilling, good pace but the end was disappointing. It is not finished in my opinion.

Favorite Parts
Enurin's lips curled into a tiny smirk. The nobles were decked in all of their finery and regalia, wearing the latest fashions of the Eyrothian court. The noblewomen were decorated entirely in jewels and various precious stones, which gleamed so brilliantly it could outshine the sun itself. While their bodyguards towered over them, their hands always within reach of the weapons in their sword-belts; prepared to deal with any threat against their sworn lord. But that detail did not bother Enurin as much as it would others. Despite all of their efforts, Enurin was well aware that they could not detect her or her powers. With those burly barrels of muscle out of the way, the nobles would prove easy pickings for her and her 'hands'. By the end of the day, she'll be hauling chestfuls of bounty back to her hideout; she was certain of it.

Very well put, this is the heart of this chapter.

Suggestions
* where they will (would) all drink from it to ascertain if any of them will (would) inherit...
* for her beloved "hands" are (were) a direct extension...
* whatever it is (was) they felt...

The ending is no ending and therefore very disappointing. I would love to read a proper ending of this chapter, perhaps you could finish it?

Final thoughts
A great chapter full of thrilling and exciting elements. There are some problems with the tenses of some sentences, but you could easily change that. I hope you will look into another ending of this chapter, it would benefit the read.



Keep up the good work, enjoy writing!

An intriguing title. The sub-line covers its content. Although I didn't read the first chapters I was inclined to read this one.

General impressions
Interesting and very well written chapter. Your writing style is appealing, the pace is good, the dialogs are very exciting. I liked this chapter, it tasted like more.

Favorite Parts
The scent of smoke began to fill both their nostrils as the two neared the centre of Favrion. The whole town was nearly consumed by fire; thick vines of smoke swirled towards the heavens. There was great confusion and panic as some of the villagers trampled over each other trying to reach the village gate.

A powerful description of a town on fire. Very descriptive, it read like a movie scene.

Suggestions
*Neyrand knew that it (won't) wouldn't be long...
*She understood that it (is) was of the utmost...
*There (will) would be a time for tears...
*Her heart filled with worry over her best friend...

Final thoughts
A very powerful chapter with interesting descriptions and dialogs. There are some small issues with tenses in the sentences but you can look into those.

Keep up the good work, enjoy writing!

Hi Timothy Sam ,I found your writing at your request. Hopefully, this review will find you in good spirit. *Delight*

On Title/Subject
A good and catchy title and sub-line that covers its content. Because I lost my father unexpectedly just two years ago I was inclined to read this story.

General impressions
A very powerful story, very well written and with the right amount of emotion and detachment appropriate in this eulogy. I was touched by this story.

Favorite Parts
The photographs have always been there. I simply hadn't put much thought into any of them, failing to appreciate the fact that I am here today only because two people fell in love decades ago. My cousins and I--we never fully comprehended or acknowledged the roots of our existence. It was always right in front of our eyes, but we didn't notice it. Like running water or electricity, I took life for granted. We took life for granted. We wake up every morning, carry out our routines throughout the day and crash into our beds late at night. It took the death of someone whom we hold dear to give us that well-needed wake up call. It took the death of my grandmother to remember all the good and the kindness we were blessed with.

This is the heart of your article on the loss of your grandma. Very powerful notions on regret.

Suggestions
What I missed, however, were some of the fond memories you must have had with your grandma. Although in life you have missed out on a few occasions, in this article, there is the possibility to dig deeper into your mind and the life you spend with her. Please add some if it's possible, it will benefit the read.

typo: wake-up call

Final thoughts
A good story on the loss of a loved-one, with a profound ending and suggestion to the reader. Thanks for sharing.

Keep up the good work, enjoy writing!

A review for "The Iron Bank of Braavos [13+] "Game of Thrones


Hi dragonline (dragon online) ,
My name is WakeUpAndLive️~🚬🚭2024 , I am one of the sly foxes.


Title
The title fits the story's content. Perhaps when the contest is over you can add a different sub-line to lure more readers in?

First Impression
A great tale with a surprising ending. I thought it was the preparation of the husband being murdered by the spouse, but it was the other way around. Perfect thriller.

What needs your attention
The pun of the story is two folded. First, this is not about a murder on the husband but the removal of weeds. Perhaps you can add to the suspense by adding a blank line so it's even more thrilling. Second, it's the murder of the wife, the main-character. Also put a blank line there, that will add to the suspense.

What part I liked best
It was a grey and overcast day. I'd been waiting for a day just like this with its threat of rain and lack of sunshine beating its radiant rays down on me in admonishment. The killing needed to take place when there was less of a chance to be seen by the neighbours.

A great start that makes the reader thinks it's a killing of a human being. I was totally convinced because of this start that this was the case.

Overall impression
Good story with two great puns. Good writing style, nice pace, excellent plot.

Thank you for allowing me to read your work. It has been my pleasure.

Hi Winnie Kay ,
My name is WakeUpAndLive️~🚬🚭2024 , I am one of the sly foxes.


Title
A very admirable title and sub-line that covered its content. Friendship is one of the most precious things in life, so I was eager to read on.

First Impression
What a nice, friendly little tale this is. I loved reading it. I like your writing style, the pace and plot of this story. Finding real friends when you are somewhat older is a real challenge. And you weren't even looking, it was delivered on your doorstep.

What needs your attention
No grammar or spelling errors found.

What part I liked best
Minding my own business, I hadn’t had much dialogue with the neighbors. I didn’t really care whose car was in whose driveway all night or if the blue-haired lady directly across the street bent her blinds to see if my boyfriend was coming in for a night-cap.

I loved this observation of yourself, portraying yourself as a person who doesn't like to gossip or be over interested in other people's lives.

Overall impression
A very warm and heart-felt story of a beginning of a friendship that is apparently still lasting. I loved the observations, the descriptions and the pet-loving remarks.

Thank you for allowing me to read your work. It has been my pleasure.

Hi Naveed ,
My name is WakeUpAndLive️~🚬🚭2024 , I am also one of the sly foxes.


Title
I was rather interested in your article because of the title and sub-line. It encouraged me to read another article as background information: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/catriona-luke/democr...

First Impression
Your article shows great concerns on the issue whether democracy would fit the bill for Pakistan. I think that's legitimate but it's also a tricky one because democracy can be the ultimate goal and outcome in a long and difficult process. It's hard to judge a country when in the middle of becoming a democracy, it's obvious there are many ups and downs achieving that goal. One of the things I didn't read in your article is the great role of the military in your country. I thought that was an omission. Furthermore, corruption is playing a great role I think.

What needs your attention
I didn't find any grammar or spelling errors in the article.

What part I liked best
Democracy is, no doubt, the best political system there is, but it has its limitations in certain parts of the world. The alternates, monarchy or dictatorships, are a straight no. Then what is the answer? The answer, I feel, is education. Unless people become literate, unless they learn to differentiate between good and bad, unless they start understanding the greater good, no system can ever be successful.

I think indeed education is key. Unless people have the knowledge and can become better citizens they are always ruled and fooled by people who take advantage of them.

Overall impression
A very well-crafted article I loved reading. It gave me insights in the whereabouts of your country. That is necessary I think because Pakistan is only in the (western) news when dealt with terrorism, poverty, and scandal. Your concerns are very legitimate.

Thank you for allowing me to read your work. It has been my pleasure.

Hi audra_branson ,
My name is WakeUpAndLive️~🚬🚭2024 , I am one of the sly foxes.


Title
An intriguing title with a sub-line that covers its content. I was eager to read on.

First Impression
Wow, what a horrible story, in the good sense, this little tale is. You managed to write what's inside a horrific young man, scorned and full of hate. It did give me the shivers to read this monologue of a killer. The psychology was superb, the writing style was thrilling and the pace and plot of the story were good. An unnerving story, well done!

What needs your attention
I couldn't find any spelling or grammar errors.

What part I liked best
For years, they had been classmates. Yet, he was invisible to her. Sitting beside her class after class, year after year, and never did he warrant a glance. It wasn't that he lusted after her or wanted her love. He sought, instead, to have the "princess" admit his existence, his equality.

Very unnerving that those quiet classroom mates can be such mental cases that they observe you for years and then come out with a plan like this one, to kill you out of sheer frustration. Because they don't feel recognized by you.

Overall impression
A very unnerving story that makes you wonder and let you pay more attention to your surroundings and the quiet people in it.

Thank you for allowing me to read your work. It has been my pleasure.

Hi iKïyå§ama-BacktoWonderland! ,
My name is WakeUpAndLive️~🚬🚭2024 , I am one of the sly foxes.


TitleThe title is an intriguing one, and the sub-line gave away a little of the suspense, unfortunately. You might consider changing it somewhat?

First Impression
A thrilling tale with a geek as a main-character, at least through half of the story. Suddenly the twist is there to discover the geek is the murderer. Because of the sub-line, I might have suspected something was off with Todd.

What needs your attention
Apart from the sub-line nothing comes to mind. There are no grammar or spelling errors found.

What part I liked best
"No," she gurgled, making a weak attempt at turning away. "Not you...no."

"Yes," Todd whispered with a warm smile, reaching out to caress her forehead, before wrapping his cold fingers around the slender neck. Pity he had to end it this way. He thought the weak boards would have finished her off completely. Damn.


Suddenly this already thrilling story is turning for the worse. I liked that very much.

Overall impression
A very thrilling, graphic picture of an encounter between victim and killer. I liked your writing style, the pace and the plot of the story.

Hi Museshack ,
My name is WakeUpAndLive️~🚬🚭2024 , I am one of the sly foxes.


Title
A nice title in the fashion genre. Since I sometimes visit charity shops myself I thought to give your story a go. I am wondering what part of the story comes from experience, the unlucky part, the lucky part or the finding a winning lottery ticket inside a coat?

First Impression
A nice little story with two main characters, the first owner of the unlucky coat and the finder of the lucky coat. I liked your writing style, the plot and the pace of the write. It had a good start, middle and ending.

What needs your attention
You have to take a look at your phrases where the characters think or tell something. Those phrases have to be set with quotation marks, followed by a comma, it is an omission in your writing that causes the reader to get distracted from the story. Please, look into that?

What part I liked best
I liked it that the two women had separately from one another gone to the same experiences in life of losing a job and losing a boyfriend. That united them even more apart from the coat. A nice touch!

Overall impression
A good little story about finding some luck in an Oxfam store. As a frequent visitor of those stores, it was a fun read and I am going to be extra attentive of the inside of the pockets the next time I am looking through the rackets of clothing.

Thank you for allowing me to read your work. It has been my pleasure.

Hi Okay, Joey's full of Blarney ,
My name is WakeUpAndLive️~🚬🚭2024 , I am one of the sly foxes.


Title
Your title is rather funny, to begin with, so I was interested to read this story in the satire genre.

First Impression
A very thrilling story with a pun about Aca Obamacare I didn't get at first since I am not an American, but I looked it up. It was about the Affordable Health Care for America Act of Obama from 2009. As I was a fan of Obama and his policies I thought this act really was about giving Americans a good solid and affordable healthcare. I gathered from your story that you were not in favor of this Act.

That being said your story is a very good one. It is a fantasy, but it is written in such a way that it almost feels as if it is a realistic account of events. I liked your writing style and the ironical comments between brackets. The story was very funny indeed.

What needs your attention
I found one tiny typo? "Help me ... oh please help me! I nearly crapped my pants. You forgot the second quotation mark after the exclamation point.

What part I liked best
I really loved those wonderful pictures suited perfectly for this story. It really was as if you took pictures with your phone and send them along with the story into the world online. Nice touch!

Overall impression
A great and funny story, well-crafted and with a pun I finally understood, although I have to start studying why it is that those well-intended plans of Obama were met with such hostility by some people in your country.

Thank you for allowing me to read your work. It has been my pleasure.

A review for "The Iron Bank of Braavos [13+] "Game of Thrones


Hi Fivesixer ,
My name is WakeUpAndLive️~🚬🚭2024 , I am one of the sly foxes.



Title
Since I have participated from July 2016 one month on and off and love this group I wanted to review again. This month with GOT I am not able to participate but next month I will be doing it again.

Great concept of 30-days blogging every two months. I love it and I am fortunate enough to have won third place once and three honorable mentions during that time. Not bad for a beginner in blogging. *BigSmile*

First Impression
This was the very first blogging group I joined so many months ago and I love every minute of it. Not only was 30-Days responsible for my disappearing writer's block, it also helped me grow as a writer since the prompts every day are sooo good, thanks to you Fivesixer ! Chapeau. Of course, you got help, but you are the main man in this forum.

Because of those daily prompts, I got my Muse activated again. It also is a joy to read what other participants and indeed great bloggers have to say on the different subjects.

What needs your attention
Nothing comes to mind other than that I missed participating this month and will be back in September.

What part I liked best
The repetition of the daily prompts in my mailbox is great. I love it that there are different themes in the prompts seven days a week. And there is a real competition between participants I like too.

Overall impression
A great group of a great blogging forum with wonderful and thought-provoking prompts sometimes. I am proud to be again a member of the group from next month on.

Thank you for allowing me to read your work. It has been my pleasure.

Hi Gaby ~ Keeper Of The Realm ,
My name is WakeUpAndLive️~🚬🚭2024 , I am one of the sly foxes.


Title
A Very strong name for this group that holds the GPs for the Game of Thrones. I love the name because it's a firm handle on the money, and the bravoos are a cheer to all its participants. I like that. As a member of the group, one of the warriors of this month's game I thought to pay a visit.

First Impression
It's my first GOT this year ever since I am only a member of WdC for 15 months. So far I have loved participating although I haven't been able to write as much as I had planned. But the Got fever certainly has had a hold on me.
It's a great game that certainly has taken a lot of time to create, all the different platforms to write and review, to compete and to work together and against other teams, I love its concept and the way it is handled: with a firm fist and with humor.

What needs your attention
I cannot think of anything other than that I was surprised to find as little attention beforehand for GOT on the newsfeed. Perhaps next year more exposure for GOT, or did I just miss the public relation part of the game before it started?

What part I liked best
I love the way you draw attention to donating to the bank by administering all those great MBs. I am sure a lot of people have been donating, not simply because it's for a good cause, but also because they just want to have those MBs. A great incentive.

Overall impression
A great group for a great game. I am loving every minute of it and I am a proud member of the House of Florent and therefore of the Bank of Bravoos. May the best team win!

Thank you for allowing me to read your work. It has been my pleasure.
