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.

*Cow* I saw that you updated this Blog and came to read.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea*This is a lovely story you have crafted with the prompt. I don't think it would be so bad to be a pet ferret, although you would lose some control I guess, not being King anymore.

He should have ruled with more sense and kindness and not tried to make her marry some old guy. Why would he think that would work out anyway? Sounds like he had a ferret size brain to begin with! *Laugh*

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

*Thumbsup* I like the ending and how it all worked out with the brother being on board with not forcing his sister to marry some old guy. Really, why do men think of these things, anyway?

Great creative storytelling, Megan! I saw the DVD Cinderella this week and it reminded me of the little rodents in that - the one with Lily James from Downton Abbey version.

I am not an expert on poetry or prose 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.

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

*Cow* I saw that you had added to your Blog, so here I am to read and send a review!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* An extra day sounds good as long as it doesn't turn into a work day. I would like an extra day to clean more, but I would probably end up reading and watching DVD's. I did go to Pemberley this week. It was fun and I enjoyed it so much.

I was telling Mr. hooves about Jane Austen and how she is so popular even now so long after he lived. I told him she writes better than most of the modern novelists so he watched the end of it with me. He liked the humor in it, too. I think her humor is a great part of her writing and how she portrays people and their flaws.

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

I liked what you said you would do with the extra day. I think I would also go to Barnes and Noble more and go on that day. It's always an adventure going there - today they were all talking about what gives with that women's march thing because of the mixed messages.

What did you think about Melania Trump yesterday? I thought she was the most beautiful first lady ever. It is nice to have such a beautiful lady who looks like a movie star in everything she wears. It reminded me of Princess Diana and how magical she looked. I thought she looked a little like a young Sophia Loren.

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

*Cow* I saw that you updated your Blog City Journal so I decided to send a review.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I agree that we are sometimes the passenger and sometimes the captain, but the one really in charge is God. But we do have the power to make some decisions and he has the power to guide us. If we try our best hopefully things will work out okay in the end.

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

*Thumbsup* I wasn't sure about the cell phones. Everyone has them now, but it wasn't that way 11 years ago or so. When they first started, my mother thought people were nuts talking on their phones in restaurants. She always thought it was fake conversations. If someone was yakking on a cell phone, she thought it was a nut. She would have hated what it's developed into.

I just have a very basic cell phone (no home phone) I turn it off to charge it a lot. No computer on my phone. So, I don't get those calls because I don't answer anything but when I know the number calling me. Most of the time they don't leave a message so I think it's robo calls and telemarketers. I don't want to talk to them and if they don't leave a message, I figure it isn't anything of interest to me.

I might miss some calls that I used to get on the land line. Like my husband's ex wife's debt collectors. LoL I don't miss those. *Laugh*

*Cow* I saw how you had updated in your Blog City Journal and came to read and send a review.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I think you have some great ideas to make it an awesome day. Once you make up your mind and focus on what you are doing, I hope your troubles fade into vapor.

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

One thing that I do is watch the 6 hour P & P if I am feeling sad. Or, at least I start watching that one with Colin Firth. There is something about getting lost in that show that does it for me every time. I haven't been to Pemberly in a while so I will probably go off to there sometime this weekend.

Very inspiring entry, Megan! *Heart*

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

*Cow* I saw you had added to your Blog, so I came around to read and send a review.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I think that drinking does a lot of damage to relationships. My parents didn't do that, but my Grandfather did and he did some things that were unforgetable and even unforgivable when he had the excuse of being drunk. And, he was a guy with ten kids to think about.

Well, war does that to people - it changes them and then maybe time heals if they are lucky and have people in their lives who forgive them.

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

*Thumbsup* It sounds like the relationship evolved into a good thing over time. I bet if he could go back and change things he would do that. Regret is a hard thing to have and it is always nice when there is genuine reconciliation and forgiveness.

You did a fine job with the prompt given, Megan!

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

*Cow* I was looking at what you did with the prompt I gave. I am not the judge for it, but I was curious to read. Also, I saw you were featured in one of the Newsletters I subscribe to (For Authors, I believe) with this story so here I am reading and sending a remoo.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea*What a madcap duo!

I don't really get the interest in The Royal Family at this stage of the game, but whatever they like I guess. Especially Charles. What a tool. They seem like interesting celebrities who don't do anything. I don't think there it that much to the presidential job anyway besides being a celebrity and showing up. Really, what do they do all day long in that place?

So, good thinking to have them discussing their fame and images. I bet that is numero uno no matter who it is.

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

These are scary times we live in and your story gave me a laugh and some giggles, which is always a good thing. Congrats on your Cramp win and on being featured in that Newsletter. I guess the editor reads the Cramp entries sometimes. Good deal!

Fine work!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* You set the scene for some creepy things. I like the atmosphere you create and the tension that it evokes in the reader. I was wondering what would happen next at every turn. He sure seems brave, at first, in confronting whatever lays outside.

I like your title too, as it builds up the suspense over what might transpire as he leaves the apparent safety of the house to investigate the situation.

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

*Thumbsup* I especially like that early on you tell the reader that Buck has some issues in what he sees. It left me wondering if all the violence came from him, since he seems so desperately unhappy and determined to make things right. The delusional aspect is quite interesting to contemplate.

*Cool**Idea* I think that you can share things without liking each other, but then people tend to focus on the not liking instead of what they are sharing. Does that make any sense what I am trying to say?

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

This sounds like the best sort of friendship when you can share work stuff and other enjoyments and interests. It is hard to find people who read the same things and like the same things in real life. But when you do find interests and things to share, it can really enrich your life and make everything about your work and your time there more enjoyable.

It is always good to share things. This sounds like a best friend situation for sure. What a blessing to find a best friend at work!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I cannot consider your story for the Writer's Cramp because the rules require that you post your word count IN the contest forum. I am very sorry to write that, but I can offer you my compliments on writing a fine story and my humble thoughts.

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

I like how you portray the doctor and wife as being skeptics. Alfred or Arthur (I think it is Arthur, right, although the item description says it is Arthur, in the story it starts out being Alfred) is adamant about what he is experiencing.

I think this is a clever portrayal of what one goes through in pioneering the description of a medical experience to nay sayers. Usually physicians won't admit anything has anything to do with what they did. They're all afraid of liability and being sued.

I thought your story was very well written and thought out.

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

*Cow* You sent me a nice review for my poem. You invited me to read your Footprints poem, but I had already read and reviewed that one so I looked around and found this one to read and review. I am not getting any younger, so the title appealed to me!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I think that it is all about the attitude. Some days I am capable of taking your fine advice and some days I feel like I am 102 and can barely move a hoof.

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

This was my favorite part:

"Try to focus on things you're passionate for
Hobbies, community service, call someone you adore
Start a friendship, learn to love, pursue happiness
Be frugal, be daring, even start your own business
Don't worry,be happy,pray continually
Think positive,exercise,stay healthy,live agelessly "

Remaining interested in things and life is the big hurdle that one has to cross. I know that is the case. My Dad always seemed younger than he was and my Brother is the same way. I wish I had more of these qualities you write of. Working on it daily.

Fine poem!

*Cow* I saw that this was in your portfolio and had been recently updated. I hadn't read it before, although I did read an entry or more that you wrote about the series.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I remember the series as being on TV at 4 in the Afternoon. I know I watched it some, but not every day. I don't know why I wasn't hooked on it, unless maybe there was something else on at the same time, or maybe it was a time when my Mom made me do my homework.

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

*Thumbsup*I think you have some good ideas for alternate plot endings for the show. Did the movie they made pick up on any of this or was it just repeating stuff that happened before, with different actors?

I watched a lot of soaps that I taped, like Y & R, General Hospital, All My Children, One Life to Live and Days of Our Lives. My mother liked Days of Our Lives the best.

I saw some of the actors from General Hospital once and Erica from all My Children. That was fun when they used to have Soap Opera Festival activities.

Nice thoughts about a favorite show of yours, Megan! *Heart*

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

*Cow* I saw that you had updated. I don't know much about Harry Potter, but I have read the first book and seen the first movie. My Grandson talked me into watching that and reading it. Well, it sounds rather grisly.

*Thumbsup* I don't know if this is maybe about Harry's adoptive parent/mother. I can see wanting to do that with her.

It sounds like things take a violent turn later on. I need to read some more in the series. My Grandson will be going to the Harry Potter thing in Disney World this weekend. I bet he will have fun doing that, this reminded me of that.

Someone here dropped an alarm clock that was my mother's and it broke. I had to get a new one. Well, I did that, but I didn't throw away the old one because it was my mother's. It doesn't work right now that it was dropped, the bottom is crooked. Well, maybe I will throw it out eventually. There are things I go through and look at and do not throw out. I can't bring myself to do that for some reason, which is weird.

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

I think that we care for our co-workers for the time we are with them, but eventually someone moves on. I guess that is like family growing up and moving on, although you keep seeing them periodically over time. With co-workers when it's over, it's pretty much over. I say that and I have two friends, I've been friends with for more than 30 years and we used to work and travel together. They are more like sisters to me.

So, I guess that is right. They are nicer to me than my brother. Well, that made me stop and think, didn't it? Always a good thing.

I am not an expert on poetry or prose 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 write more than that, sometimes much more.

*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* I think your poem brilliantly captures the contrast between the nobility of serving in the military and the reality and misery of war. People who have not done this cannot appreciate what a soldier has to cope with, both on the battlefield and when they come home, if they come home.

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

This was a very moving part to me:

"Amidst the ancients, a soldier's out of place,
A world of history's in his face.
Friends, a universe away"

Literature and film tends to romanticize and glorify what few of us are equipped to cope with. I think your poem eloquently captures that spirit.

Well done!

*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*This certainly seems like an overwhelming series of things that happen. Anyone would be confused by all this and want to touch base with reality.

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

I like that it ends up that our protagonist decides this has to be a dream, but then is it a dream within a dream. Who knows what the answer is or if it is a dream within a dream within a dream.

I enjoyed the precise timeline as a way to grasp on to what may or may not be real.

Very imaginative take on the title prompt!

If people don't like my reviews, I leave them a cow pie on the doorstep in my imagination. That makes me smile.

Well, it is better than going into an alternate universe or so I assume.

Very clever work!

*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, this is a lot of things going on with this group. In the end, Sky is the "sick" one, but they all seem a bit warped in the way they treat each other, maybe with the exception of Jeff.

Jeff, although, he does the act, seems to be conflicted about the idea of hurting Maxi.

Maxi is masochistic in who she married, who her friends are and who she stays wit.

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

This is like Lifetime, I guess, except there is no clear hero. Well, Jeff comes closest because he has a conscience. It seems like Sky and Bryan have similar sociopathic natures, maybe that's why he didn't make a move on her. Looking in the mirror repulsed him.

There will be more trouble if Sky is on the loose. Too bad they didn't keep her locked up for the pillow thing. You have a lot going on here and it is a lot of personal drama, looking into the lives of Lifetime characters somewhat. It reminded me of poor old Brad Pitt getting dumped and kicked out to the Golden Globes.

Or, maybe the Kardashians too. Anything goes, I guess. Entertaining and somewhat alarming in the way that people treat others.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I am not sure what he is, but it doesn't matter. He is driven by the need for food. It is his be-all and end all.

It made me think of my Basset Hound, who lives for food. I know she loves us because we are her food source, but sometimes we wonder if it goes beyond that. I think that it does.

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

*Thumbsup*This could be a rodent of some kind also. Any animal who is dependent upon others for their food. The whole life is centered around that and affection and warmth are way down the list. THis was an interesting take on the prompt that I enjoyed reading!

*BalloonR* Welcome to WDC from "Newbie Welcome Wagon! *BalloonR*


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

*Cow* I gave the prompt for this in "The Writer's Cramp on the weekend. I was not the judge, but I was interested to read and see what you writers did with the prompt.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea*Well, this has a lots of twists and turns as Elsie Holstein tries to do her best to help Mr. Basset. I won't give away the ending.

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

*Thumbsup*Well, violence answers a lot of questions, doesn't it. Corruption is rampant everywhere and this story certainly depicts that. I like the fast paced, action packed writing. I didn't like seeing what was in store for Elsie, but when crime is afoot or ahoof, that's the way it goes I guess.

Nice work and again, welcome to the site! I hope you will enter The Writer's Cramp again!

Some people don't like my remoos and I leave cow pies for them instead of reviews, in my mind, not literally.

Well, I hope you enjoyed my review and it was nice to meet you!

*Cool**Idea* I think that these jokers sound like they are getting what they deserve in terms of things to eat. I hope that the dog hides the food from the humans so they won't get all his delicious (in comparison) snacks.

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

I thought it was amusing to think of the revenge involved in feeding the family this strange fruit. Well, hopefully they will get a clue sometime. You can always have hope if you have enough strength to move around after eating this stuff.

Clever take on the prompt - I enjoyed reading it and about those two lazy guys who don't like to help much.

As long as I've been here, there have been those who talk a lot about how to review. Strangely enough very few of them lasted very long or did very many reviews. But, they knew how to tell the rest of us what to do.

I file it in the usual place now-a-days.

Enjoyed reading your entry! Well done!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* Wow, you sure built up my suspense in this wonderful story about someone who cannot see, but really doesn't miss much that is going on.

Your Hannah is very observant, in her own way.

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

What I liked what that this made me more and more nervous. I was thinking another thing, that the smell and all was a bit of human side dish or something. I was surprised at the ending - that it was about rejection and a change in feeling more than anything grisly.

But, in the end, I am left with the fact that it could be either because it's open to the reader's interpretation. It gave me chills, either way. I end up wondering why the character of Ben would do it in such a sort of sneaky and gradual way. It still gave me the creeps about him, which is where I think I'm supposed to land.

Nice work!

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

*Cow* I saw that you updated in your Blog and came to read and send a review on a snowy day. We are getting a lot of snow and our roads are blocked because the side streets are the last to get anything around here. Well, that is okay because I don't like to walk in the slippery stuff.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I think that usually the guilty person gets in trouble. I think they have that Innocence Project in NY that gets people off with DNA. But having a guilty intent seems like it needs to be addressed too. It's not good when bad guys get away with stuff.

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

This made me think of Charles Manson being in that hospital in California. I wouldn't let him into a normal hospital, even at his old age. That gave me the creeps for all the other people in that hospital and they are debating whether to save him with surgery that will probably kill him. The authorities sure care a lot about a guy who was responsible for the deaths of a lot of people like pregnant Sharon Tate. I guess her baby would be in his 40's if Manson hadn't done what he did.

This brought that to my mind because I am cooped up here in the snow, I guess.

Nice poem, Megan!

*Cow* I saw your poem featured in this week's Poetry Newsletter and came to read. Congratulations on being selected to be in the Newsletter!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I love that the speaker is carefully selecting who might be lucky enough to be kissed on New Year's Eve. The attitude and the self confidence are refreshing and just the thing for the new year.

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

This was my favorite part:

"But the New Year approaches with promise
And one must rise to the occasion
Letting hope and dreams dance
In the limelight of possibility."


What an admirable and perfect way to approach anything new, especially a New Year. Sometimes the whole thing makes me want to run and hide while your words make me want to embrace the possibilities!

Lovely!

I think that fits right in with the theme of your wonderful poem. It inspired me, that's for sure!

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

*Cow* I gave the prompt in The Writer's Cramp earlier in the week and was interested to see the entries. I was not the judge, and am just a reader visiting!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I see what you mean about maybe this being a cop out. Saying we need to fail in order to learn I guess would be the message then.

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

*Thumbsup* I liked this part:

"No better tool to control behavior
If into this philosophy you buy,
The only way you learn is by failure."

I am a big believer in always trying to take charge and be in control. I think, in the end, we learn from all sorts of experiences including failure. It was interesting to read where the prompt took you!

I recommend that as an enjoyable way to go, especially for those of us who do a lot of reading.
