This is only the opinion and suggestions of the reviewer and it is still up to the author of this piece to consider this review as a corrective action or otherwise. ![]() Both your title and the date at the top of your offering seem to indicate that Mary is someone who journals ... regularly. At a minimum, she journals at least periodically. But your opening seems to state that she hasn't written in a journal since she was in school. That she is unhappy with her current state of employment is well documented. Apparently, Mary seems smart enough you recognize the apparent incompetence of her boss, as far as journalistic intent is concerned. She feels underutilized in her current situation. That's a trait with which many in society can identify. I found it interesting that you chose Memphis, with a population of more than six-hundred-thousand, for your story location. While I agree that a large herd of cows ambling down Main Street Memphis would certainly garner lots of attention, I didn't find it as realistic that many cows would make it to the city center. A smaller community would be a better fit. Plus, a larger city newspaper would have more reporter staff than the storyline seems to indicate. Despite that, I applaud Mary's initiative and desire for more in her life. She was willing to step beyond her comfort zone and take charge of her own situation. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
