This is a really good entry. I agree with the premise that writing out one's goals is an important step on the road to success. This is ambitious list as there are a lot of goals on it. 17 goals are a lot to manage and maintain all at once. The nice thing about listing your goals out is that it organizes your thoughts and gives you a direction to go in. The more detailed they are the better you can plan them out. In this regard your list is very strong. You were able to get incredibly specific of what you wanted to do so that so that is a great start.

The downside of listing so many goals out at once it might cause you to bounce around between them as when you are focusing on one goal on the list you'll feel the need to switch to other neglected goals. It can also make you feel unnecessarily frustrated. Completing 10 things in one day on a daily basis is a lot for anyone to handle. It is important to recognize that. Try to boost your morale with smaller accomplishments than the full list. If you managed to accomplish 1 or 2 goals on the list treat it as a success. Conversely if you make progress in 5 or 6 goals on your list even if none are fully completed that should count as a success too because you are moving forward with multiple goals at once.

You might consider identifying goals in the set you want to prioritize within a certain day then secondary stretch goals to do when the primary ones are accomplished. For example with my habit list. I have 2 relatively simple goals as my daily ones and the more challenging goals I try to space out within the week. I also mark down when I went above the required amount. It helps me to build momentum off of the accomplishments.

Anyway this is a great written out entry and internal analysis. Best of luck with the goals you are attempting!

Review of Howl  Open in new Window.

I really like this poem. It feels like it is written from a Wolf's perspective and really captures the essence of the creature. I totally picture the animal moving silently and energetically through the night and howling as it prepared for a hunt as I was reading this. It was very exciting and intense to read through. The word choices were really good, each stanza gave a good visualization of what was occurring. Thank you for writing and sharing this. I love the title as well. *Wolf*

Review of In The Closet  Open in new Window.
Review by KingsSideCastle Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (5.0)
You are on the right website for this type of Poem. A lot of the people here can relate to writer's block. There poem has a really good analogy. The description of being trapped in a dark closet with a huge immovable block of granite is extremely apt. I also like how the subject of the poem is able to find a way out of this while closing his eyes. I connect with it as often when I'm stuck on ideas resting up and closing my eyes often unlocks my writer's block as well. Very nicelyt written

Review of A Sister's Drama  Open in new Window.

This was a very well written short. I like the way Chloe's point of view was setup allowing the reader to picture what was going through Chloe's mind and the thoughts she was having when her sister came to her. The reader is really able to sympathize and follow the character's thoughts. She comes off as a smart character as she makes decisions and analyzes what is happening and future outcomes while giving advice to her sister in the moment at the same time. The reader is given a good sense of Mia as well and feels for her character. It is a really exciting read and I would love to read the story that this is a prequel to.

This was a challenging quiz. I have watched all the Buffy episodes but was only able to get 6 out of 14 (some of which may have been luck). There were only a couple of answers I was sure of. To be fair the series goes back several years but I am not doubt I would have been able to get some of these even if I had watched the episodes more recently. I definitely would not have been able to remember stuff like the addresses. These were great questions that would really test the knowledge of even the most hardcore Buffy fan. Nice job making this.

Wow this story takes missing breakfast to extreme consequences. For a child being hungry is a harsh experience The story is told very well with a lot of descriptive details. I could picture the scramble to get food vividly from how it was expressed in this story. While winding in the ICU is not a humorous experience, there were some comedic elements to this story's delivery such as the description of the landline phone. I also really liked the description of the breakfast needed "Ever nourishing Lucky Charms". I could to that. Great writing!

This is a great poem / short story combination. It seems to tell a full story about the subject in this. The reader is given a great sense of who the subject is in this and a glimpse into her personality. I think the strength of this poem is in its description and imagery. The reader could feel the chilliness as the subject walked through the streets. There are a lot of similes in this that really establish the subject of the poem in the reader's mind. I love the opening/title line comparing the coat the subject of this poem is wearing to an avocado. It really gives the reader a great visual. There is also a little bit of a comical tone to this that the character doesn't get noticed despite her efforts. It was really fun to read. Thank you for writing and sharing this.

This is a very creative idea for a poem writing it from the Sun's perspective. In this poem, the sun is the proud lifegiver and seems almost like a parent to the Earth it discusses. This is refreshing to read. Usually the poems I read that personify nature has nature seeming to be disappointed with the people it watches over

Technically the poem has a nice rhythm to it going. It is divided up into quatrains with a set rhyme scheme where the second and fourth lines of each complement each other. It made the poem really fun to read through. Nice writing!

Review of The Gift  Open in new Window.

Rated: E | (5.0)
I'm sorry for the double e-mail. I forgot to include this was an anniversary review in my initial review.

This is a very sweet poem. I like the story the narrator conveys of not being able to get a gift that matches what the person the narrator cares about has given. It has a sweet outcome as well. The poem as a great flow to it. The rhythm makes it east to read through and follow along with. There are also a couple of rhymes throughout the poem that really spice it up. It is coupled with a refrain-like third line that allows the poem to sound very smooth. I really enjoyed reading this. Thank you so much for writing and sharing it.

I'm reading this interactive story towards the end of September so it is right in time for the Halloween season. This interactive is nicely laid out with the characters and scenarios set up initially for the story. It has a strong introductory chapter with the male lead winding getting stuck with unusual costumes. Combined with the Halloween setting, it seems to provide the possibilities for potential transformation storylines with the character winding up stuck with an unfortunate costume choice. Some chapters in this interactive added by some of the writers contributing to this interactive have already begun to explore this. It should be interesting to see how this interactive develops in the future.

This is a good interactive with a nice premise. Goths are fun characters. Goth have the potential to be fun characters. You can picture some of them playing around with witchcraft which ties in nicely with shrinking scenarios and they have a nice stylish look to them. I like how this interactive was setup with images showing what some of the goths look like. A couple of them need to be updated as this interactive was created awhile back and some of the images are no longer available. My favorite was Carissa because I like the purple hair look. So far this story has some good chapters going particularly with Lilith. I would love to see this story developed further. Best of luck with your writing

Review of Storm  Open in new Window.
Review by KingsSideCastle Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (5.0)
This is a great haiku. That follows the format perfectly with an exact syllable count in each of the 3 lines. The poem captures the essence of a storm perfectly identifying different aspects connected with it such as a darkened sky, howling winds which are really great for the reader to visualize. The last line creates a very effective shift in tone as the sunshine comes out creating a contrast with the first and second lines. It provides a nice resolution / ending for the haiku as the storm gives way to sunshine. Beautifully done!

Review of Snow Blue  Open in new Window.
Review by KingsSideCastle Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (5.0)
This is a really nice poem. I like the the title that allows the reader to visualize a certain shade of blue associated with the winter cold. On a technical level this poem is very good with a lot of imagery that readers can connect with blue. I love the phrases mentioning the winter cold breeze, ice drink of chilly milk and midnight glow which really are great to visualize.

This poem has a nice rhythm going to it as well with a few rhymes that were fun to read through. I enjoyed reading this a lot. Thank you for writing it.

Review of Dancing Colors  Open in new Window.
Review by KingsSideCastle Author IconMail Icon
In affiliation with I Write  Open in new Window.
Rated: E | (5.0)
This is a great short story that seems to perfectly incorporates the prompt listed. It was very sweet to read through and the autumn imagery makes it nice for the reader to visualize what is happening. There is a colorfulness to the artwork being created. The storyline involving a grandmother and granddaughter is heartwarming.

There is a little bit of a perspective shift in the story that may be jarring for the reader. It starts in the first person and seems to shift to a 3rd perspective midway through the story. It might be more effective to keep the perspective consistent throughout but overall this was a really great story to read through. Thank you for writing it.

This is an excellent poem. I really like the rhythm of this. The rhymes make it very easy to read through and it flows really smoothly. There are some nice descriptions in this. I like the opening stanza leading into this poem. There is some great imagery with the birds in the sky. I also really like the look at wisdom shared. The ending makes the reader realize how large the universe I love the title of this poem as well "Petals of the Sun" is a beautiful picture. Thank you very much for sharing this poem. It was really fun to read.

This a good essay that really provides a good analysis of how life has changed before and after the internet. This essay was written over 14 years back but it remains relevant today. The points shared are correct. There are definitely more options available for communication and more information available as well. News has also become readily accessible. I also like the way the topic is introduced sharing what the internet originally started out as. The train of thought for this essay smoothly and is organized really well. Thank you for sharing it. *Smile*

I like the poem. Thank you for sharing the backstory to go along with it. It really allows me to appreciate this poem on different level. I love the imagery shared in this. This poem is filled with Contrasts. Sunsets vs thunder, light vs shadow, reality vs delusion. It is really powerful to read through.

On rhythmic level this poem is really fun to read through with some good rhymes making it flow smoothly as the reader goes through it. This is very well written. Thank you very much for sharing it.
