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!
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.
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 entry in the Writing 4 Kid's contest because, for the month of April, I am one of the judges.
Your Bunny Rap is absolutely exciting. I had to read it a few times, just to be sure I didn't miss any of the fun details. What child wouldn't love acting the motions out and singing this! It is captivating, colorful and engaging and I think you have a hit on your hands :)

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.

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.

I love the presentation of this poem! Use of large font, color, and you even added an adorable bee to it, clearly, any child would be drawn to it like a bee to flowers. So simple but so fun and easy to understand. It is vivid, bright, and short, which is great for a child's attention span.
I really enjoyed your word search! It put me in the mood for gardening and being outside in the warm sunshine getting my hands dirty. Your word search was challenging, the word "fresh" illuded me and I had to finally click the solve button. You picked some very good words for this puzzle. Thank you for creating it and I look forward to the next one.
You are very, very welcome! I just love making new friends and getting to know them and you are so sweet and I just love how you jumped in and started getting involved with so much. I'm glad to call you a friend and can't wait to see what you achieve here! The sky is the limit.
God's word is the only thing you can take to the bank and count on it. God's word is the ONLY constant in this universe. It never changes, for He is the Alpha and Omega and so is his Word, because in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word WAS God. Every single word can be trusted and depended upon. Since day one, we've been gifted with free will. We ALWAYS have a choice. It is not always an easy choice but the choice is always there if we seek it and ask for it. We must choose it. Many times tho, we are like sheep and allow others to make those choices for us, then we blame them for the results.
This brought a chill to me as I read it. Such truth in every word! It speaks like a hammer to those who read it, pricks the soul, and hopefully, makes the reader really think about what is being said. This should be printed out and handed out in mass distribution so everyone has a chance to read it.
I read and am reviewing this as a result of doing your Christmas Quiz. Much of what you wrote about I already knew, but the information about the star was new to me. You make some very good points and what you say makes a lot of sense, but I never thought of it that way. Right before Christmas this last year I read a book called Bethlehem at the time of Jesus' birth. It really picks apart the Christmas story and goes in-depth of the reality of it. Of what was really going on at that time and puts a lot of new perspective to the story. My favorite part was reading about the shepherds. How these were not the type of men to be dazzled or impressed by a baby. They were barbarians. They lived outside the city walls. They had to fight against wild animals, thieves, murderers, sleep and live in all kinds of weather..they were hard, fierce men. And those were the men who God sent Angels to tell of the birth of Jesus and when they saw and heard, they left their flocks! Left their posts and went to see...and they are the ones who fell on their knees and worshiped the baby. That really touched my heart because when I think of the disciples, the ones Jesus picked to follow him, he picked fierce fishermen who were strong and used to fighting the sea, weather, and such. Not polished, gentle, meek men. Tho some were doctors and tax collectors but the majority were not. Then, I think of Saul who killed Christians and actually LIKED it...he was a notorious killer and tormenter of Christians...and wait. I'm getting all excited and going way off point. Point is, I enjoyed what you wrote and I learned something new. Great work!
Hello Bari,
Again, welcome to WDC, and thank you for asking me to read your wonderful scene. I enjoyed the strong descriptive words and vivid imagery. You used lots of detail, yet kept the pace nice and even and didn't bog the story down. I didn't spot any technical issues, but that is not my strongest skill, so perhaps don't rely fully on just my opinion of that. You hook me, as a reader with within the first few sentences and I can't help but keep reading. I just HAVE to know what happens next!
If I were to make any suggestions at all, I would suggest re-thinking the presentation. As it is, it is all kinda squished together into one huge chunk of text. I'd encourage you to maybe double space your paragraphs, use a larger font for easier reading. You have a wide range of options above the box you type in. You can bold, or add italics or underline. You can add colors, change the spacing of sentences and paragraphs, change the size of the font, choose a different font, and many other features to enhance your writing.
Please let me know when you've added to this story as I would love to know what happens!
I read your piece through the read & Review page. While your piece is not something I would normally read, your's grabbed my attention and I must say, I enjoyed it. I really enjoyed the vivid imagery you use. You made it very easy for my mind's eye to envision what you were saying and to visualize the whole thing. The interaction between granddaughter and grandmother was intriguing! You seem very skilled at writing dialog. I also really liked that you took the time to add some format to your page and broke it up a bit. It was easy on my eyes and made the whole thing look very well put together.
By the time I finished reading this I was grinning from ear to ear. What writer has not fought that demon which is editing? What writer has not wilted at the mere thought of editing something? In writing, it is a necessary evil that helps us put the spit and polish on our carefully arranged words.
What you wrote easily resonates with many writers and I'm pretty sure a good number of them have had this same or similar rant more than once. Thank you for sharing!
Sincerely,
Tina
