Hi PureSciFiPlus Author Icon!



What brought Hoovsie meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

*Cow* I am the judge for today in "The Writer's Cramp" Open in new Window.. Thanks for entering!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I like your title, first of all, and the introduction which is a teaser that makes me want to read on. That is what a title and an introduction should do.

This story is from the yo-yo point of view and this is one smart yo-yo who hides when its human, Kimberly, is tossing things about. The fact that you describe Kimberly as throwing her teddy bear against a wall tells me a lot about this human. Keeping one's distance sounds like a good idea.

This sounds like a very volatile household, with loud arguments between mother and daughter and Kimberly getting slapped in the process.

I noticed one typo:

In the third paragraph from the top, third line down, you have the word "dumb" when it should be trash "dump", I believe.

There is a lot of instability in the house and it is no wonder that things are confusing to the yo-yo.

Then Kimberly has those conversations where she lies and the yo-yo knows the truth. That would be sort of an alarming thing to witness while being thrown around. There is a lot of anxious waiting and hoping portrayed in your story, shown by witnessing events that are strange and volatile.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

*Thumbsup* At the end, I read it as yo-yo is glad to be away from home and with new owner Brandon. I think you did a good job of showing the anxiety of a yo-yo in a troubled environment. What a ten and thirteen year old were doing unsupervised is sort of an alarming undercurrent. Nothing good usually comes from that sort of scenario.

Nice work with the prompt - you did fine work!

I am not an expert on poetry or prose or much else. I am merely a reader who loves to read. If I send a review, it means I enjoyed my reading experience enough to let you know it. I travel to many galaxies and pick my reading carefully, just as I pick my hay carefully.
