| (5.0)   HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews"   Greetings, Joy-the Harpy Witch! I am reviewing this because 1) It's your anniversary month, and 2) I need to review a purple case for The WDC Army Angels' June Challenge.  First of all, my reviews are intended to be helpful and encouraging, not hurtful in any way. Use what you feel works for you, and leave the rest. The Positives/What I Liked I love reading about writing tips and being inspired by other writers' ideas and suggestions, so I really enjoyed reading this article on Pre-writing. The Walt Whitman poem at the beginning of your article was a great way to open! I especially liked his line, For we are bound where mariner has not yet dared to go, meaning we-the-writers are the mariners.  I like how you said that pre-writing is like brainstorming. I love to brainstorm but I don't do it nearly as much as I should. I used to write all my stories on notebook paper first, so it was easier to make notes and stuff. Now I do most of my writing on my laptop, but I should keep a notebook nearby so I can jot ideas down, etc. I think what stood out the most of me, was in Paragraph 5: Does all prewriting have to be aimless, then? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. If you don’t know what you want to write about but the urge to write is there, aimless free-flow can lead you to an idea, a theme, an interesting character, or a plot section. I like this because I do seem to become more creative when there's no pressure. Pre-writing is just that.  I also liked your Prompt #6: Take an old story or an unfinished story, and just go crazy with it by putting the characters in different times and places or twisting the plots in unexpected paths. Do not stop or criticize yourself if these writings turn absurd or totally ludicrous. Now that sounds like a lot of fun!  Suggestions/Comments to ConsiderParagraph 5: you want your brainstorming take a direction toward  you want your brainstorming to take a direction toward Other than that, I found nothing else to mention. Final ThoughtsThank you for writing this, Joy. I'm feeling very inspired! Have a great day and... K e e p on W r i t i n g ! Cubby ")
