*Santahat* ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: Not a mistake was noticed, and there are no suggestions for improvement. *Santahat*

*Snowman* CHARACTERS AND STORYLINE: N/A *Snowman*

*Stardavid* OVERALL THOUGHTS: The rhythm is outstanding, and the imagery just as terrific. Being new at school is difficult for youngsters, which is relayed well in the poem. I was so pleased Jim made a dear friend. *Stardavid*

*Candycaner* ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: No grammatical or other mistakes were spotted, and I cannot think of anything for improvement. *Candycaner*

SIMPLY POSITIVE & JUST BECAUSE I WANT TO GROUP LEADER

*Snow1* ERRORS & SUGGESTIONS: "bigger then" should be "bigger than". "i" should be capitalized. A comma should come after "You said". A larger space than needed follows "your lead". "lean" should be capitalized also. "soposed" should be "supposed" instead. *Snow1*

*Snow2* CHARACTERS & PLOT: N/A *Snow2*

*Snow3* OVERALL OPINION: With some editing, I think this poem would be terrific. You did a good job of relaying what a genuine relationship is all about. *Snow3*

*Idea* ERRORS: "And" is not needed after "Brother" and "each" cut for a better read before "always had". A comma should follow "games" and "synch" (which should be "sync"). Several others like these noticed also. *Idea*

*Exclaim* SUGGESTIONS: None other than giving the characters name so that they would be easier to relate to, although this did not take away from the plot in any way in my opinion. *Exclaim*

*Check2* CHARACTERS: Giving them names would make them easier to relate to. *Check2*

*Star* PLOT: I think the storyline is touching. It certainly pulled at this readers heartstrings. *Star*

*Note2* OVERALL OPINION: As mentioned above, I was touched by the closeness you and your "brother" share even though he does not share your blood. Sometimes blood is not thicker than water. You did a super job of expressing that. *Note2*

*Snow1* Keep in mind that any suggestions made are meant to help, not to criticize your work. *Snow1*

*Snowman* ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: Numerous capitalization errors were spotted. Examples are, "this", "its" (which should be "it's" instead), "i", and "zak". Some punctual errors noticed also. Examples are that a comma should follow "medical school"; a comma should come after "goodbyes"; one should also come after "abortion". The last two paragraphs need to be broken down properly like the others are. Hope this helps. *Smile* *Snowman*

*Santahat* CHARACTERS AND PLOT: Sam, Zak, and the other character are defined well, and the storyline good overall. *Santahat*

*Xmastree* MY LIKES: The love expressed for Sam was my personal favorite. His parents concern for him is heartwarming. *Xmastree*

*Stardavid* MY DISLIKES: As mentioned above, the lack of proper capitalization and punctuation is needed, although it is not really a dislike, but would make for a much better presentation. *Stardavid*

Please keep in mind that any suggestions made are intended to help, not to criticize.

*Santahat* ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: Only one error was noticed. There is an unneeded space following "Truthfully" and the comma. I cannot think of any suggestions for improving the memo. *Santahat*

*Snowman* CHARACTERS AND STORYLINE: N/A *Snowman*

*Stardavid* OVERALL THOUGHTS: You did a good job of letting readers know your expectations. We all have them, whether they are like yours or other ones. I think you are right about appearance and the traits that form love. Being yourself and sticking to your convictions are commendable. Who could think otherwise? *Stardavid*

SIMPLY POSITIVE AND JUST BECAUSE I WANT TO GROUP LEADER

*Pencil* ERRORS & SUGGESTIONS: No comma is needed after "across the street. Just an opinion, but I think "a police uniform on" would be better if worded "and wearing a policeman's uniform". I also think "my curious mind" would read better if it was worded "curiosity got the best (or better) of me". *Pencil*

*Writing* CHARACTERS & PLOT: The characters are described well, and the storyline terrific. The last two paragraphs were heartbreaking, but summed up the mystery perfectly in my opinion. *Writing*

*Star* OVERALL OPINION: I like the way the mystery begins from the beginning. The storyline held my interest from the start. The imagery used in describing the woman's appearance in the antique shop's mirror was awesome, and the screams sent chills up my spine. It left me wondering why the others screamed just as it did her. It was easy to see why she thought she was losing her sanity, especially after what the cab driver said to her. *Star*

KEEP WRITING!

Please keep in mind that any suggestions made are intended to help, not to criticize.

*Santahat* ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: Just an opinion, but I think "surprised" and "surprising" made the first sentence seem off. Perhaps changing one of the words would change that. "by the hurried calm...." is an incomplete sentence. Several others like these noticed as well. *Santahat*

*Snowman* CHARACTERS AND STORYLINE: Charlie, Lisa, and their parents are well defined, and the plot good. *Snowman*

*Stardavid* OVERALL THOUGHTS: As mentioned above, the plot is good, although I wish more detail had been given about the creatures. You did a good job of describing the settings. I liked that. *Stardavid*

*Snow1* Keep in mind that any suggestions made are meant to help, not to criticize your work. *Snow1*

*Snowman* ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: A comma should not follow "Christmas Carnival"; "apple green" should be "and apple green"; Just an opinion, but I think the sentence about the artist would make for a better read if worded like so: "sitting on a stool with a...."; no comma is needed after "suddenly smiled" or "delight"; "upwards" should be "upward". *Snowman*

*Santahat* CHARACTERS AND PLOT: Isobel and the others described well, and the storyline puts a reader in the holiday spirit. *Santahat*

*Xmastree* MY LIKES: I liked the imagery used in defining the characters and settings. Very impressive in my opinion. *Xmastree*

*Stardavid* MY DISLIKES: There are none. *Stardavid*

Please keep in mind that suggestions made are meant to help, not to be critical in any way.

*Santahat* ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: No spelling or other mistakes were noticed, although the rhythm was off in some of the lines. The only suggestion I have to offer is that I would make all of the lines the same word length so that the poem follows a pattern.*Santahat*

*Stardavid* CHARACTERS AND PLOT: N/A *Stardavid*

*Xmastree* OVERALL OPINION: The rhythm is good in almost all of the lines, and the emotions terribly sad, yet well written. I hope that dreamland gets better. *Xmastree*

Please keep in mind that any suggestions are meant to help, not to criticize your work in any way.


*Snowman* ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: Just my humble opinion, but I think "In the night" is used far too much in the poem. I would also follow a rhyming pattern being as you did so in a couple of verses, but not the others. *Snowman*

*Xmastree* MY THOUGHTS: As mentioned above, I think "In the night" is used too frequently. Just an opinion, but I would change that and add more detail to the imagery used in describing the man and dragon. *Xmastree*
