Review of Reveille  
Review by SHERRI GIBSON
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP  
Rated: 13+ | (4.0)
Animated Simply Positive Star Reviewer Signature.
SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP LEADER

*Idea* ERRORS/SUGGESTIONS: A period should replace the comma following "to think" in the second paragraph. Just this readers humble opinion, but I think "and" is used too frequently in the third paragraph. Cutting it and restructuring it would make it read less like a running sentence in my opinion. In the ninth paragraph, a comma should come after "right now". Several others like these noticed throughout the story as well. *Idea*

*Check4* OVERALL OPINION: Jeremy is defined well, and the plot good. His concern about not knowing what to do, failure, and who he is are things most think about, which added realism to the tale in my opinion. *Check4*

*Idea* ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: Not an error was noticed, and I cannot think of any suggestions for improving the monologue. *Idea*

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

*Writing* OVERALL OPINION: When reading this, I found we have a lot in common. Like you, I am a free spirit who loves to write, and believe writers should be readers as well. I liked how you let readers know about the woman behind the briefcase, and could not agree with you more about mind games, pettiness, lying, and so forth. *Writing*

*Idea* ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: "hearts'" should be "hearts" in the first paragraph. Other than that, no errors were spotted, and I have no suggestions to offer for improvement. *Idea*

*Exclaim* CHARACTERS AND PLOT: Bryce, the professor, and Chloe well defined, and the storyline super. *Exclaim*

*Star* MY THOUGHTS: I thought the story was well written and the last several paragraphs humorous. I'll bet Bryce felt foolish when discovering the man was a photographer. *Laugh* Great story! *Star*

Along with the package she sends this message, "This is part of the Mystery Package won by you in "SHERRI'S SIZZLING SUMMER AUCTION CLOSED" 

*Check3* ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: like the one before it, no mistakes were spotted. I have no suggestions for improving the short story. *Check3*

*Writing* CHARACTERS AND PLOT: Moira and the fairy are defined perfectly, and the storyline awesome. The title drew me in because I love fairies. *Writing*

*Note5* OVERALL THOUGHTS: I liked the way the fairy reminded Moira that they are real. It is a wonderful story of fantasy that sweeps a reader into a world of serenity. My favorite paragraphs were the ones where the fairy explains to Moira why she is human, and then later changed into one of the fantasy creatures herself. *Note5*

*Idea* ERRORS: A comma should follow "the sky" in the second paragraph, and also after "longer", "nail this", "and bathe" should be "bathed" to make the sentence complete. In the third, a comma should follow "the path", and in the last one come after "her mouth". *Idea*

*Reading* SUGGESTIONS: None other than those mentioned above. *Reading*

*Star* OVERALL IMPRESSION: The plot sent chills up my spine. You did a super job of writing a story using the required words for the contest. I wish you luck. *Star*

Please keep in mind that any suggestions made are only the opinion of this reader and intended to help, not to criticize.

*Idea* ERRORS/SUGGESTIONS: In paragraph five, a comma should come after "replied". In the eighth, no comma is needed following "nurse". In the seventeenth, a comma should come after "smart". Several others like these noticed throughout the story as well.

*Star* WHAT I LIKED: I thought Janie was wonderful for pointing out Manuella's strengths. It takes someone special to do so when a person behaves as Manuella did before that. All of the characters were likable, and the storyline very good. The best to you!
