You make several very good points here. I realize I use "I'm sorry" almost as an automatic impulse when I read about someone's issues or problems. I say it so much...how many times have I said it, but as you poi t out, not backed it up with actions? Thank you for drawing attention to something I should really stop doing and only use "I'm sorry" intentionally and when I'm going to back it up with meaningful actions.💻🌻
I enjoyed reading your story very much. You make an excellent point in a non preachy way most every reader can relate to and understand. When its all said and done we are all one people and we .just do our best to help one another, no matter our differences. I truly hope to read more of your writing soon.
Absolutely brilliant word search! I had a lot of fun and all those words truly make you think of Angus. The word fighter took me the longest to find.🐒💐🌈💗
Dear Friend, I enjoyed reading this. Most everyone can identify with this in one way or other. We all have times we feel stuck. Like we've fallen into a pit and no way out or we've hit a brick wall. It's very easy to feel isolated at these times, but you reveal the truth..we are never really alone! God is with us. He is a very present help in the time of trouble. And, tho God sometimes leads us forward into the fire (rather than just delivering us or making the problem go away) its in the fire we find our strength, we build our faith and courage. What you wrote captures all that and in a very powerful way. Thank you for sharing it.💗
Bride,
That says a lot but it sure spoke so much truth. I can't say I agree with every single thing but most of it, yeah. You said it very well tho many might raise their hackles a bit. Keep shining your own special brand of light...it is much needed in a world of suffocating darkness. I would just make one itsy bitsy suggestion. I, like many here, have older eyes...and such a long piece is a lot easier to read if the font is at least 3.5 or larger. Regardless of font size, this is still a very well-written piece and I'm glad I read it.
Hi Cory,
I am reviewing your poem written for the Writing 4 Kids challenge for the month of August because I am one of the judges this month. Your poem is lively and something children would adore. It is fast-paced, fun to read, and vivid with imagery. I could see very young children loving it but also older children as well. Good Luck.
Sincerely,
Tina
Hi Pam,
As you know, Stargate has us all on a Mission and your portfolio popped on my radar. How delighted I am to get to visit once again. You never fail to have something special to read and this had me laughing. What a crazy but fun twist to an old classic. I could easily picture this and the look on his face, well, it HAD to be hilarious. I wish I could be a fly on the wall watching all this go down. I really hope this becomes a longer story! Thank you for the great read and laugh.
My the writing force be forever with you!
Thank you for requesting a review. Let me start by saying wow, you did a great job hooking me right away, within the first few lines. Not only that, but you kept hooking me and kept prodding me to keep reading. I like the way you lay it out in a journal format and you used bold, underline, and spacing to emphasize parts and make it feel very authentic a real. Like a real journal. The imagery is sharp, I can vividly imagine what is going on and as I read, the realization that it really is not such a far-fetched story brings chills to me as the reader. We already see some of this being played out in our society today and we have seen it as a stark reality during Hitler's rule. Slowly, ever so slowly it is seeping back into our real world. Does anyone notice? Those that do notice, are they bold enough, brave enough to point it out? Would anyone even listen to them if they did? I don't have the answers to those questions. Well done on this, I hope to read more of your writing in the future.
Sincerely,
Tina
It is me again. This is such a sad but true piece of writing. I thought you expressed yourself very well. Did you know you can change the size of your font? If you use a 3.4 or larger font, it makes it a lot easier for some people to read. The message in this needs to be read and shared by as many readers as possible. I like your direct, open, and honest approach to writing about topics many people shy away from. I'm looking forward to reading more of your work soon.
I stopped by today to review for the Review A Thon being sponsored by the Golden Heart Alliance. First, let me say, you have a beautiful, well-laid-out portfolio. I wish mine was as well laid out.
I read His Roses and by the end, I needed a hanky. It is filled with such love and emotion, you had me in tears by the middle. What a sweet story of love and loss and remembrance. In the end, you had me smiling through the tears. It is a lovely poem!
You are so clever and creative, it is hard to pick just one thing to review from your portfolio! I stopped by for the Review A Thon sponsored by the Golden Heart Alliance. While I am not one of the competing reviewers, I AM doing reviews for those who have requested them.
After much deliberating and trying to choose which item to read and review...your stories are like potato chips...I can't enjoy just one! But, I must abide by the rules set forth in the challenge and only pick ONE. Therefore, I picked this delightful story just about any writer can relate to. Ah, there is nothing like it when you discover just the right ink pen. It's like it was created just for your hand...and it does become a trusted friend. How many of us dread the death of our favorite pen? I love how you take such ordinary, everyday things and turn them into fun, creative, quirky stories.
I just had to pop in to see your all occasion c-notes and let me say, there are several I will be using quite often! Or, at least as often as you keep them around. I like the variety and that many contain humor. Who doesn't need a bit more humor in their lives? These are sure to put a smile on the faces of anyone who happens to revive one.
This was indeed rather easy. The first little icon I clicked led me here, to this wonderful poem about when our Nation was young and just picking up speed. Now that you know how to do this, why not really send us on a hunt and make a maze or chain of things to do? Thank you for the lovely trinket, can't wait to see what you do next!
I am reading and reviewing your entry for the Writing 4 Kids Contest because I am one of the judges for the month of June.
What a creative way to teach small children all about ants. I liked how you kept up a fast pace and you used easy to understand language, but you threw in a few words some children might need to question the meaning of and how to say it, which is very clever! Mr. Ant makes learning fun and I love how you relate the ant's home and colony to a home and family that the reader would most likely be familiar with.
Dear Elska,
I am reading and reviewing your entry in the Writing 4 Kids contest because I am one of the judges for the month of June.
What a delightful poem about a subject sometimes hard to talk about to small children. What they consider just fun and games, to others can feel like bullying. Even from friends. Your characters are vibrant and fun, and you bring your poem to life. I can imagine most any child being excited about this story.
Good Luck in the contest!
I am reading and reviewing your entry for the Writing 4 Kids Contest because I am one of the judges for the month of June. I could see this story grabbing the attention of many pre-teens and teens. As your title says, identity IS important, especially at those ages. You've got the start of a good mystery and it pulls the reader in nicely.
That is chilling and very well told. I enjoyed every minute of reading this and was completely captivated. I hope you do more of this kind of longer storytelling. I always find a goodie when I come to visit my Buddy's portfolio. This story here is prime stuff to grandfather many more stories.
This was creative and cracked me up. I think it is safe to say many who read this will be able to relate to it as well! The frustration is real...now, where did my cell phone go?
Hey there, I voted but this was impossible! I admit, I love ALL kitties great and small. I'm partial to solid black ones and black Calicos. For your poll, I could easely have picked most of the choices. What a fun poll!
Hi Megan,
You have created some of the most lovely merit badges! I am super thrilled to have several in my own collection. Can't wait for a chance to win your new Elsa one. :)
I am reading and reviewing your poem written for the Writing 4 Kids contest because I am one of April's judges.
What a fun poem that challenges a young reader to guess what month it is talking about! I think your poem would appeal to an older child and I think it would entice them to ask questions and perhaps even dig a bit to find out what some of the flowers mentioned look like. If illustrated, what a bright, vivid sight it would be! I think most any child would be delighted with this poem and it would open their imaginations wide.
Thank you for your April entry at the Writing 4 Kids contest. I am reading and reviewing your entry because I am one of this month's judges.
What a fun way to alert a child to the magical music that only raindrops can make! I think your poem will have children readers cocking their heads and listening hard next time it rains so they can hear all the sounds it can make. Most any child can easily relate to your poem.
I am reading and reviewing your poem written for the Writing 4 Kid's contest because I am one of the judges for the month of April.
What a clever idea to relate the month of April as a bridge to get from winter to summer. It is something children can easily envision and relate to. Your words are so crisp and fun, I think it would easily draw in any child and most of them can relate to feeling as if the rain would never stop.
Thank you for your entry and good luck!
