Review of Guest Book  
Review by April Sunday
Rated: E | (4.0)

Feb 7, 2007

Hello, Erythrite, my name is Teff and I too lurk the uncharted, fathomless waters of this, our fine, website.

So with GUEST BOOK ( the forum ) any member can sign in, tell anything, or leave it out while helping to introduce a get-to-know each other vibe.

Wonderful posts, caring pals. And yes, E, love the words you use at the end of your intro to this forum.

In GUEST BOOK, Erythrite mentions "playing around" around here. Yes, that's exactly what it's all about.

Thank goodness. So best in all navigations as we Post ON!

Cordially,

Coming our way, Feb 1 and Feb 2, the item AN OVERDUE THANK YOU NOTE is a particularly hearty Thank You piece from our very own, Judity, the published author, J A Buxton.

Reading Buxton over the years may bring a smile when this author refers to herself, "I do tend to ramble." So what, J A. That is what writing a good story is all about. Then ALL your bases are covered.

Buxton also advises we make serious use of the easy enough to understand, conquer and use tool of "spellchecker." While most of us in the flaming category already know the word is misspell. Guilty as the rest goes Teff.

Anyways, Jude, you too are most welcome for the reviews sent from this desk with a "my pleasure" for Buxton's enlightening chapters over the years.

So not only good luck to this writer as "write on" now seems appropriate; it is also this. --------->

Publish ON!

The item is complete with links for where to see and adore all those wonderful characters Judity built from the ground up for now they lurk behind the covers of her published masterpieces.

Smile on, we all love J A Buxton, a hard working author whose efforts are sure to please.

Cordially,

Mathew C really gives us the twist at the end of the tale with LETTERS.

Well written dialogue and a believable scenario for the estranged lovers falls into place early on in the read.

Nice!

Review of Alone in the dark  
Review by April Sunday
Rated: E | (4.0)

+++++++++ Jan 26, 2007 ++++++++++

Dear Luna,

Surprising to see in your intro:
" ... it's the only poem I ever worte."
Allowing for this being a 2004 copy-rite, perhaps things have changed since then.

Your opening line for ALONE IN THE DARK reminds one of the way Hardy starts his novels. Always the look back up the narrow road, the house seen from the outside.

Thus this is a very good line and a fine work altogether.

That opening line is as follows:

from the pen of W.C author, Luna:

"Across the plains a sound awoke ..."

Wonderful!

Cordially, Teff

Review of It was 1959.

&&&&&&& Jan 15, 2007

When I write a rev, never knowing how long time will be to proof read it, using &&&&&& or lllllll or <><><><> helps relocate easier with the find key. FYI.

IT WAS 1959 is an incredible read from the creative, on-the-scene pen of Erich 1.

Anyone who can describe "manifold" "exhaust" while crusiing from 10 to 50 mpr is okay in my book.

Revisit another decade and, hey, guys and gals .... ENJOY!!! your stay.

Great!!!

Allen Smith, you do your story great justice. Especially with character names which associate with the period.

The year 1747 is supplied, no guesses, no comparisons unless another writer wishes, or a researcher or a history buff.

Please allow me to supply here on PRP for all to see two sentences from the last paragraph.

From BETWEEN TWO TIDES: "A week later we went to another hole and put Gavin in. The day after it was Zachariah."

What trying times our forefathers had. How easy life realities these day getting meds at CVS.

One typo --- last paragraph at "taught."

Best luck in 2007 with all your writing endeavors, dear author.

BLOSSOMS MALIGNED is a tale of first attraction, childhood friends, perhaps first love and awareness of same between two neighbors, between two high school students. When tragedy strikes this well detailed, chronologiucal read takes a very different direction leaving the ending to both survivors and the readers.

Shtara is breaking ground once more on Auto Rewards. There, offering, MULTI LEVELED PLANET, Teff reads with pleasure the opening Prologue.

Setting the scene while four teens get ready to engage in some serious splunking, the story opens with all characters meeting at the house of embarkation.

Suggest, as you are using adjectives quite well throughout, dear author, perhaps another fill-in for "still pretty mom."

Sometimes when re-editing these pop up and hit us over the head. "Young, attractive" mom might do, but sure, you already saw it.

Like "boisterous" for the gang of four.

Happiest New 2007 to you and all of your family, Shtara.

Imagine being as popular as "Nancy LaChance" whose quirky behavior results in the title of Kyla Thanks Judy! 's intersting short story, THE SKIRT.

Reading this the basic school uniform at St. Mary's reminds me of the old battle with white shirt cuffs, ink and chalk.

Certainly those were trying times of fashionable attire.

Thanks for this one, Kyla.

Review of Champ de Mars  
Review by April Sunday
Rated: E | (5.0)

lllllllllll Jan 3, 2007

AUTHOR: AGIAN is a storytelling poet.

SUBJECT: The piece is CHAMP DE MARS, posted WED for the first time on Plug Page.

Here, lies a daring tale from the French Revolution. A firm command of French and a wonderfully exciting delivery makes this revver wish to award a ten star to Agian. But alas, there's a few suggestions which came to me on second read.

This poem is so groovy, I'm already into a third read where Agian's vocab is excellent.

In chronolgical order:

First Stanza: At: " ... broken wood."
Maybe, if it fits and you agree, break the line @ wood,
Then proceed with: "These crunching stones."

Perhaps this line caused the poet a little trouble.

Now, visions from outside the realm of hectic Paris streets ... this re-write, if I may be so bold. Only use, if you as author are okay with a new arrangement.

Suggest instead: On ivy that still clings.

Ivy is a ground cover or climbing vine. So it has umpteen leaves and may be better than "ivies."

Using quotes for the voices of the crowds equals a very good ploy, separates the delivery, adds to the reality and setting of the poem.

Ten Star work, definetly a MUST READ!!!

THORNS from W.C poet/ author Nlightnd says in genre choices: Young Adult/ Experience.

The sonnet type pen adds it's own flair with the ending lines. With the conclusion, Nlightnd ties the piece together bravely.

Review of Road to Freedom

lllllllllllllllllllllllll Jan 2, 2007

Ginny B, I found your novel on Plug Page.

I read the intro and Chapter Five.

You've set a huge goal for yourself with the time period of 1870, the characters and the racial indifferences and sometimes cruel realities encountered in the time era.

Good luck with this one, a rather huge undertaking which you present well, inform your readrs and carry the story forward.

Best New Year to you and All WC members.

Must say one more tiny thing before closing my personal reviewers shop tonight. I buzzed all around here today. One thing that impresses me, beside community spirit is colors. I love the snow, the sigs, the changes.

We are both lucky to have Writing.C and to enjoy the simple wel done, sparkling, beauty of it. I always love this snowy scene when turning on in the morning early, reading and reviweing when I get a chance.

The things in Ginny B's novel can keep one up way far into the night.

Hey, gotta go spend time with a new novelest, discovered, yup right here.

Goodnight, Ginny B. And thanks.

Cordially,

Again with Purty Curls, who requests a Teff Rev, which is beyond sweet, so to comply, dear Purty Curls. Oh, I am so flattered, thanks PC.

THE MARKET PLACE is a brand new item, c-rite Jan/07. It tells of a vendor on a sidewalk working out, detailing who buys, who doesn't.

All of our items are in fact products. Not us, our works and sometimes if it be the non-fiction case, also our hearts.

So what will this writer offer us as we welcome this writer to WC?

Hey, simply read this one to find out.

AND note, dear Curls, the last line is why you have the five star above.

Perfect ending here, hon. These are often hard to find, impossible to envision, but sometimes like a whispering wind ... alwyas there to retrieve.

Good and effective essay.

Guess, we're all getting used to using the new digit, 7, above.

Anyways, Temperence, welcome to WC.

Your poem; EVERYTHING FOR YOU has some very eloquent lines pertient to the title's theme.

Sample: "It might be cold under the rain ..." also shows a picture.

When we read, as everyone knows already, we seek the visual. Done in poetry, briefer, of course than short story form, is a really good accomplishment.

Hey, HAPPY NEW YEAR TO you and yours, dear poet.

Imagine if you will: Lordy, Lordy they said your writing is superb. Everyone wants to hear that for everything? (Notice in the previous statement, does is left out. It is because I am talking which writing is indeed the best part of talking on line. Like: Does everyone want to hear your writing is superb?

Oh, nevermind.

Yes, we love hearing it.

Of writers anywhere, here too, some get by, others grind, to some it comes natural to "turn a phrase with umpteen class."

When we write, dear Rising Stars on this list we're prolific, accurate, crazy, creative and well versed in something this humble reviewer hopes to see on the list of Rising Stars.

Class, entertainment, humor, enjoyment, and respect for the piece a fellow member delivers up cold, no ham on ryes, and is kinda realistic about it.

We try, we strive, we conquer.

With this type of award, please do in fact impart your high recommendations to the best of the best, dear hosts.

Talent recognized is talent seen, Best to turn away from the name, the person, the writer/ author/ artist/ poet. Concentrate on item.

Let it always be about the piece a writing star writes, actually c-rites here on WC. A work is a product, a pen,a write.

A person is not a work.

If not the diservice of lauding to be nice, for heaven's knows why's sake ... simply encouragement for young authors, under 15, yes.

For blah, blah, blah .. and then the occasional, hey this is one of the best reads here out of 1,200 revs sent. I think so anyways. Generally, used to be only editors used first person. Thus Teff thinks or I think. On my blog intro

Suppose you find one, then relax, love it/ hate it? Or does it go in the you know, wastecan?

Do revs strike at all hours, day and night for readers who rev?

This place is scary. Watch it. You'll be up all night editing.

Back on track, sorry.
One dreams of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Some may breech out ... think: Yeah, but I like the no mistakes, proper English, grammar mode. ZZZZZZZZ

Or: Kid finished the piece, give it 5. Good for you. Generosity.

I cannot speak for all. Honesty is usually the best way to go.

Our words in revs chose compliments to encourage ... but the non offend may go too far. My stuff gets a ton of 3- ish from contests. So what who cares, not me.

Who gives the gold? The Blues? Where's the vote? Folks spoke of letters to why doesn't s/he have a yellow?

I have no idea.

It is hard for me to understand this R S thing. Must return, re-read.
