Review Style
In my view, the primary focus should be on encouraging the writers to write. I do not review items I don't enjoy anymore because I see it as a waste of my time. So, if you get a review from me, I enjoyed reading your work. The amazing thing about this whole process is that reading an inspiring review usually leads to me reading more of a reviewer's work also. So, it's a win-win.
I'm good at...
encouraging others to write because I love to read.
I will not review...
something I do not like. I do not enjoy writing hyper-critical reviews. I do NOT believe that "honesty" is a synonym for "mean." If I see someone being "mean" here on the public reviewing page, in group behaviors, or just acting as a bully I will not send them my reviews. The only exception to that would be judging a site contest - there all items get honest (and hopefully diplomatic) reviews of the work from me with no exceptions.

What brought Hoovsie meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

*Cow* I am the judge for today in "The Writer's Cramp. Thanks for entering!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* Your story deals with the interactions and personalities of seven very different people. It seems to me like some of them change for the better after it's over from being exposed to the particular kindness of a young lady named Nancy.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

I like how you reveal the character traits (selfishness) of people through their response to an unexpectedly tense situation. There is an element of romance thrown in, too - failed attempt at it, but it's still there. I enjoyed reading your story and I think you had an imaginative and clever response to the prompt.

Nice work!

I am not an expert on poetry or prose or short stories or much else. I am certainly not an editor or proof reader, heaven forbid! I am merely a reader who loves to read. If I send a review, it means I enjoyed my reading experience enough to let you know it. I look at a review as my reaction to what I have read and a sharing of what I bring to the table on any given day. Sometimes I don't bring much, but I enjoy my reading adventures either way.

You need all sorts of reviewers for all sorts of writers. We can't all write a dissertation every time. If I did that, I'd do about six reviews a year. I basically read for my own enjoyment now that I am close to having sent so many reviews over the years.

I enjoyed reading your story very much!

What brought Hoovsie meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

*Cow* I saw where you had updated so here I am to read and send a review.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I guess to choose to dance is a way of life. As you say, it is deciding to think positive in the face of adversity.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

*Thumbsup*I think ignoring the news is a way of doing this. Since we got rid of the Direct TV thing, we pay a lot less attention to the news. I don't know what I should be upset about most days so I don't get worried about it.

I figure it's someone else's job to worry about all that stuff anyway.

Nice entry and a great philosophy to live by.

I like to visit and read in your journal and send you my thoughts because you always are so nice in thanking with a nice response. That is one of my favorite things about the site. Most people on this site do not seem to know how to thank even though it is a writing site. That is sort of a puzzling thing.

What brought Hoovsie meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

*Cow* Congratulations on your nomination in The Quills for Best Blog! I am here reading a bit in your Blog and sending a review with my thoughts and comments.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* Your Blog is a presentation of Bible passages with modern day interpretation. I found your approach to be original and focused. All the entries are well written and applicable in modern daily life. You give your thoughts with examples to back up assertions.

I think this is an original and perhaps unique approach to blogging.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

All your entries that I read are articulate and well reasoned. I think you have done your research and know your Bible very well and have the ability to make things relevant to life n the modern world.

This is a good exercise in positive thinking and encouragement also. I think that looking to scripture can always be inspirational and rewarding.

This endeavor is well thought-out and executed.

Well done! I enjoyed my visit to your Blog very much.

Review of A Life Unlived

** Image ID #2111916 Unavailable **



What brought Hoovsie meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

*Cow* You had sent me a link and invited me to read and send a review. You posted this wonderful story in your portfolio so now here I am to read and give you my thoughts.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I admire how you have set the scene so vividly for this man sitting alone in the park. At first it seems like he is watching the world go by and maybe lamenting the fact that he didn't play the part he thought he would in his own life.

But, with his vivid imagination and the ability to write, he has the power to capture his thoughts and impressions to share with generations to come. He repeats the process of summoning his muse for a good long while.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

I like that, in the end, he comes back to the park where he realized that he had the ability to describe and capture a moment in time for all eternity. That is my take on it anyway. I think that if someone has this ability it is a rare gift. Maybe it wasn't an active life, but a life where there are such keen and memorable observations was lived to the fullest I'd say. Most people don't notice their surroundings or even what is going on with others and they miss out on a lot of what life has to offer.

This was a character study into the life of a writer. It doesn't matter when it happens, it is a gift to be shared. Well done!

Review of Cage the Bird

What brought Hoovsie meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

*Cow* Hi - you sent me an email requesting a review. I don't click on documents that aren't posted on the site, but I decided to come and review something in your portfolio. If you want to be reviewed on the site, you need to post whatever it is in your portfolio just like you posted this story which is called, "Cage the Bird". I don't get in email back and forths off this site so you have come to the wrong place if that is what you are looking for.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I like your title and description. This seems to switch from talking to a third party to the object of affection. Apparently, there is a rival but the person does not know how to handle competition very well.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

I like how this exposes the insecurity in a relationship that may be hidden. I think that some transition is needed so that we are sure this switches who is being spoken to.

I thought otherwise this was very well written and the dialogue seemed natural. I guess there is a question as to who is ultimately in charge of what is about to happen, the woman or the man.

*Cow* I gave the prompt yesterday in "The Writer's Cramp and I wanted to see what would be done with it. I was not the judge today, but wanted to read and send a review anyway. Congratulations on your win!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* That trip to Key West sounded great to me. I've been there and seen those cats. I think they are too fat and lazy to give the squirrel much trouble.
I love that the squirrel was hesitant though and that the cat respected squirrel's wishes. I like the picture! It would never happen around here that they'd get that close, but it's nice to dream of such a thing.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

*Thumbsup* This was my favorite part, but I enjoyed the whimsical nature of it all:

"The name of the place was a misnomer
No nuts nor birds were found in the city
We hightailed it home
Never more to roam
A waste of good gas, what a pity."

The cat driving reminded me of that old Saturday Night Live skit with Toonces the Cat taking the wheel. This made me smile! Lovely take on the prompt, my friend! *Heart*

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

Do you see this continuing long term? I wanted to ask that before I just blindly throw gift points into it since you haven't been here in a few weeks. Any guidance you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Do you think it is a good thing to keep going or is it winding down. I guess that is the relevant question I am seeking an answer to.

for entry "To Find Yourself
In affiliation with Paying It Forward  
Rated: ASR | (5.0)
** Image ID #2111255 Unavailable **

What brought Hoovsie meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

*Cow* I am reading and reviewing in your Blog City Journal.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I think that to find yourself you have to let go of what others think. It is the one thing you cannot control. I recently had someone here call me a bunch of names because I didn't see something her way. She called me evil and selfish and basically told me that I was doomed.

Well, at the end of all that tirade, I block/ignored her. I didn't answer. Because I know I am not evil or even more selfish than she was. I just had my own point of view that I won't change. I showed Mr. hooves that email and he asked what kind of nut house has this become. I guess that's a good question for the ages sometimes when people lose control of their senses here.

I regret it happened, but on the internet sometimes people get a little carried away with themselves. I bet if she met up with me face to face she wouldn't call me names like that. I used to think she was a nice person. She told me I changed, but I think she changed more than me as she got a bit too big for her boots there. But, the anonymity of this Internet gives people a false sense of entitlement to let it all out there at times.

She's not used to not getting her way with things obviously. Same with me. So, two immovable forces meet and they clash I guess.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

*Thumbsup* I think that we spend our whole lives finding ourselves. It can happen in church, like your dad says, or even with that walk in the woods that the doctor prescribed. You never know when you will find it or find peace. When I pray for answers I get them, although they aren't always the answers that I am expecting.

Very thoughtful entry in your journal, Megan! *Heart*

*Cow* I received my latest issue of your wonderful Jane Austen Newsletter and decided to send a review to you.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I enjoyed reading this latest issue and learning about the female authors who were Jane Austen's contemporaries.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

I'm with you on Darcy. I can't picture anyone but Colin Firth as the character now. I tried to see another version, but I couldn't accept the guy who was Darcy. It just didn't feel right -- same with that show Death Comes to Pemberly. I couldn't accept either Elizabeth or Darcy in that one. Colin Firth owns that role in a way that I just can't get past.

I would like to get one of those Jane Austen commemorative coins. Maybe someday they will have them on Amazon so people can buy them. Jane Austen is definitely the best female author ever in my opinion. Maybe the U.S. will even mint a coin because of her popularity over here. I guess we never know. I get a mint catalogue in the mail so if I ever see one there, I'll let you know.

Great Newsletter, as always, Megan! *Heart*

*Cow* I saw that you had added to your Blog City Journal and came to read and send a review.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I am totally with you on the Oscars. I hadn't watched in years, but this year I watched. Why? Because I wanted to see if Brad Pitt and that Weirdo who collects kids and eats poor tarantulas would be there I guess.

It was a pretty good show, but I hadn't seen any of the films. My brother tells me what movies he thinks are good. He told me that La La Land was awful and that Manchester By the Sea is good but sad. He liked Lion, Hidden Figures and another one that I forget.

I don't think that Hollywood really has the glamour that it used to have. Most of the young people are sort of ordinary looking and have very little in the way of personality or style. It's just a sort of politically correct exercise in self congratulation.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

*Thumbsup* I am so with you on the wrong people winning most of the time. Kate Winslett's performance will be remembered for 100 years. Helen Hunt - I'm not even sure of the movie now. What was it, the Jack Nicholson movie? Hollywood always gives it to the big suck ups if they can.

Maybe a few deserve the award, but not most of them. I mean how could Clark Gable not have won for Gone With the Wind. Overpaid morons vote on the thing.

How could they have waited as long as they did to recognize Charlie Chaplin? He founded the whole industry really. They waited until the man was in a wheel chair at the end of his life to even give him the time of day and a token award The statue should be a Chaplin not an Oscar, in my opinion.

Well, I could go on and on but you listed some great examples. I don't even really know who won last year. Was there even a memorable film? I know DiCaprio won for something, but I agree Titanic and What's Eating Gilbert Grape were his greatest performances.

At least Kevin Spacey has won a few Oscars and he did win for The Usual Suspects. Mostly their choices there are pretty forgettable.

The show was entertaining for the most part this year though. Jimmy Kimmel is pretty funny as a host.

Nice entry, as always! *Heart*

What brought Hoovsie meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

*Cow* I am the judge for today in "The Writer's Cramp. Thanks for entering!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea*Well, that is some mixup to look forward to there. But at least the gift is to keep and it has things to rebuild. I guess what is done is done.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

I like that the destruction of the planet makes the whole Oscar thing seem very small indeed. You never know when you let an outsider in, what's going to happen I guess. Maybe an expanded travel ban into space would help or something.

Well, what is done is done and it seems like Scott and company will make the best of it.

Your story is clever and original. Nice work with the prompt!

What brought Hoovsie meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

*Cow* It's just me, old you know who. I thought I would come and do a public remoo to give you some free publicity on the public reviewing page. Thanks for letting me know about this great In and Out thing!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I think that the media didn't report accurately what happened. Those of us who watched it know what happened, but now they are trying to blame the accounting guy and I guess he's falling on his sword.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

*Thumbsup* I think that this incident shows a lot of selfishness (Beatty and Dunaway) and some graciousness (the people from La La Land and those from Moonlight) juxtaposed in a public setting.

This is the same Hollywood that wants to control the direction of the country. Well, the young ones seem more sensible than the old ones and I guess that is a hopeful sign. But they need to put their own houses in order first. What a mess.

Great In and Out. It never occurred to me that it was a publicity stunt, though. I don't think that Warren Beatty would be smart enough to carry it off if it was so maybe it was and they didn't clue him in. Or something! *Cow**Confused*

What brought Hoovsie meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

*Cow* I was looking in your Blog Challenge journal to see if I am caught up with reading. I missed this Valentine's entry somehow.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* It sounds like you had a really nice Valentine's. We get cards and go out to dinner, but that's it because it's right after the anniversary. We just go out for dinner there too, so it's twice out in a week, which is good. I'm not complaining.

Hey, the Hallmark I liked closed last year, too. I wonder why so many of them are closing. I got some good stuff at the end and it sounds like you did too.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

*Thumbsup* You are lucky to have Bob Evans there. We had them in Maryland, no problem. Here, we have to drive an hour away to get to one. I used to love to go to Bob Evans, but it isn't worth driving to Chapel Hill to get to one. Well, they sell some of their stuff in the grocery store here now to microwave like Maccaroni and cheese. Yum.

That is one of the arguments to moving back up to Maryland being around Bob Evans again. Well, I don't think it will happen though.

Great entry, sounds like you got a lot of nice stuff. The Macy's here is supposed to close I think. A lot of them are closing along with Hallmark. I wonder what is really up with that.

*Cow* I saw that you had added to your Blog City Journal and came to read and send a review.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I see what you mean about the Shelley quotation. Well, I think we have to have faith and then hold on to it. Sometimes it is easy to get discouraged and be swayed especially when people gang up on one person. I am not sure that is what is meant, though.

But, it is good to keep a vision about what is right and wrong.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

*Thumbsup* I like what you have about the fox and the angel. I love foxes, there was a Midsomer episode about a fox who looked out for a human. It didn't end too well for the fox at first, but then it did.

Well, whatever, it is nice how you incorporated all the words here. Good work!

** Image ID #2112769 Unavailable **

What brought Hoovsie meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

*Cow* You sent me some nice reviews recently, so I decided to read here in your blog, in addition to some other stuff in your portfolio.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I am with you totally on the power of prayer and miracles being all around us.

I don't think that prayers are answered, as you say, obviously. I think it all happens the way it is supposed to in time.

Mostly, I pray for the strength to cope with what comes my way these days.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

*Thumbsup* I see what you are saying about intuition. I think some have it. I don't think I have it. I was so certain of something once and I was totally wrong. I just had no clue whatsoever. I am always worried, but that time (the one time I should have been worried sick) I wasn't. I don't know if that was God protecting me as long as possible from the truth or whatever.

But, I learned that I definitely do not have intuition about those close to me. Just totally clueless, am I.

And, I totally agree with the fact that the individual who is praying has the responsibility not just to hand it over to God or the deity. There is the responsibility of knowing what to do with the answer. Yes, absolutely there.

What brought Hoovsie meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

*Cow* You sent me some very nice reviews recently, so here I am to read and review in your portfolio. This title attracted my attention. I was thinking of literally falling, though.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* Falling is one of my worst fears. I actually fell in December so it is a recent horror in my mind. You are referring to metaphorically falling into another dimension though. That is much less frightening to me than the literal idea of the thing.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

This was my favorite part:

"I knew I had to get up today or in this field of wild rhyme I would stay. I would lay upon my back listening to the stories that the rhyming roses told. I would listen to the nightingale sang while back on earth bees and birds were dying for the lack of unpolluted air."

Even though there is work to be done on earth, I would be very tempted to stay in that lovely place. Very tempted.

You make it sound idyllic and very inviting. Very eloquent and lovely to dream of moving on to such a locale.

Beautiful!

I do more because I try and find ways to enjoy myself. Returning reviews is one of those things I like doing because the people who do the actual day-to-day reviewing are among the best writers on the site. This is because they practice at it faithfully, I believe.

Always a reading pleasure.

Review of MISCELLANEA

Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
** Image ID #2112769 Unavailable **

What brought Hoovsie meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

*Cow* You sent me some nice reviews recently, so here I am to read and review a few items here in your portfolio.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* This was in a folder with your award winning items. You have your portfolio nicely organized and that is always a plus.

This is a poem about creating a readers block by not writing good work. So, it is when the writer is deficient and it discourages the reader from reading.

When I read a book now, I give it a certain number of pages and then if I don't care I move along. Also, I find that people who are polite are better writers generally. That just seems to be the case around here. So, I sort of let that be my guide at times. It is not all the time, but mostly.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

I enjoyed this part in particular:

"A bad doctor can prolong
A patient’s stay in bed.
A bad writer can,likewise,
Kill reader’s joy instead!"

While a writer can get better with practice, I don't think that is as true about a doctor. Someone either has the skill or they don't there. It is scary how many will be practiced on in the meantime though - That is something I do not like to ponder!

Another fine poem for your readers to think about! Well done!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* This is about finding one's other romantic half. It is a long journey for some and some find it pretty quickly. It's one of the mysteries of life, I guess.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

I like this part:

"Don’t ask me the key to love;
Do not me in love confound."

In that last line, you change the expected order of the words. I might have expected it to say:

"Do not confound me in love", but it works well the way you have it.

I also like that you keep to seven syllables per line and in your title.

Nice work!

This reminds me that things happen in time when they were meant to happen. I collected coins with my Dad, so it had added meaning for me. I think if my Dad were going to send me a message from beyond it would be through the coins. I have faith that will happen at some point, but it hasn't yet.

I particularly loved that the penny's favorite place is where it ended up, in a folder like that. I used to collect coins with my Dad and I still have his and mine and a lot of those folders. It is nice to think that the coins in them are leading a happy sort of life.
