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.

Another Awesome Signature for tHiNg



What brought the Hand of THiNG to your port?

*Ghost* I am reading in your Blog City Journal and saw that you updated.

What Does THiNG think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I think that clowns are sort of scary after that serial killer guy, Gacy, did bad stuff and was some sort of clown at kid's parties. I think since then the clowns take on a sinister connotation.

I am not afraid of them really as most of the the ones running around now are kids being dopey I think.

What does THiNG applaud about while reading your item?

I agree with you on the hunting stuff. I do not like to think about that. I like hearing howls as my Boo howls at times. This morning, my husband had some howling on his computer and I thought it was Boo, but it was him playing some howling wolf noises for her to listen to. He said she liked it and wagged her tail, so the wolves must have sounded like they were happy.

This time of year leads to some people going out and hunting, but for me it's about the scenery and the crisp changes I look forward to.

Great entry, as always!

*Ghost* You came and visited me with a nice review, so here I am visiting you and reading your story that seems very appropriate for this time of year.

*Cool**Idea* I love it when a female spirit is in charge. Things go a lot better and are a lot more fun with women running the show.

What does THiNG applaud about while reading your item?

Timothy was so gullible and so is this old guy. Makes for good tricks though. It puts me in the mood for the holiday that is just around the corner. Of course, you must promise something to get something.

That is a good lesson to learn for trick or treating and for life, also.

Clever and twisted, which works for me!

What Does THiNG think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I think that you did a fine job with the prompt. This story is proof that alcohol and revenge do not always mix.

What does THiNG applaud about while reading your item?

When someone plots revenge, sometimes things get a bit hazy and then add a talking reporter ghost to the mix. But all's well that ends well in the big scheme of things. Sound like everybody got what they had coming to them in the end.

Very twisted in an intriguing sort of way. It is always she who laughs last who laughs best as long as it isn't as a ghost I guess.

Fine work!

What does THiNG applaud about while reading your item?

I think you made good use of the prompt and told an engaging story where the reader is involved in the tension from the beginning. The end made me believe that things were just as I had observed and all, eventually would be put right.

*Cool**Idea* There is always something so frightening to me about clowns. This is certainly timely with all the clown sneaking around that's going on in some places.

I enjoyed the twist at the end and will not give away the plot in the review.

What does THiNG applaud about while reading your item?

You did a creative job with the prompt words and used them very seamlessly in the story. It surprised me when I realized who the clown was and what the clowns had done. I will leave it at that.

Very engaging story. You might want to read through and proof it, but that's not a factor for the Cramp - just something with the spacing you might want to fix at some future time.

What Does THiNG think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* You have written a fine poem that rhymes and uses all the prompt words to tell the reader about an inviting sort of Halloween. I was especially happy to see the "hand" used to great effect!

What does THiNG applaud about while reading your item?

This was my favorite part:

"A spooky costume is what they want,
a ghost or goblin they must decide.
Maybe a monster with a bloody hand
or a zombie with mouth opened wide."

Of course, you could lose the monster and have just the disembodied hand.

Fine work - I enjoyed reading your poem very much and I look forward to spooky hauntings to come!

What Does THiNG think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I did not realize you couldn't post the links for the trinkets without the upgrade. It is good to know that.

This is a story about family memories of autumns long past. It is always hard, yet rewarding to let oneself remember the sights, sounds and smells. Autumn seems to be the most poignant time of all. I know it is for me.

What does THiNG applaud about while reading your item?

It took me back in time to a happy family project. I loved the part about the obligatory grumbling from the children. We used to grumble and carry on, too but what we wouldn't give to go back then when everyone was alive and well. You lose people over time and it's hard.

This brought that all back to me in a very real and moving way.

Bravo!

What brought the Hand of THiNG to your port?

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

What Does THiNG think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* This is a very moving poem about love and loss. I too associate losses with the Fall. Your poem brought that back for me with eloquence and poignancy.

There is one thing, though, and that is putting that word count in the contest forum where you posted this. That is one of the rules, too. But it looks like you covered everything else and wrote a wonderful poem.

What does THiNG applaud about while reading your item?

This part was particularly moving to me:

"Her last box packed,
she never came back --
died in Autumn.
You asked me...
What's not to like about this season?"

For me, that brought back my mother to me for a moment. Your approach to the season echoes my own tentative ones. I love it, but I fear it too.

Brilliant poem! Personally, it brought back to me a mixed bag of memories.

I especially liked this section of your poem:

"A stolen day from work

To breathe newly crisp air
Unfettered, joyful
My husband beside me
Nature's peaceful season"

That brings back a lot of lovely memories for me. I think you capture it all very well.

What brought the Hand of THiNG to your port?

*Ghost* I was looking in your Prince Journal item to see what you wrote about one of my favorite songs.

What Does THiNG think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* One of the last things Prince did was ride a bike around his neighborhood. Since he lived in a snowy climate in Minnesota I'm guessing the corvette was something he would dream about. He seemed to stick close to home as far as where he lived went.

That is a racy car to have. Mr. hooves would love something like that, but not me. I would rather have a reliable car that starts when I need it to start.

What does THiNG applaud about while reading your item?

I think you are right in that he could have had anyone he wanted. Maybe it all wasn't enough, though. I could be wrong, but based on seeing the video of him on the bike I think he was mostly a pretty happy fellow at the end. He had a good life and was appreciated for all his talent. How many people can really say that at the end, even if they live a lot longer?

I think he did alright there and hopefully is in a better place where he's got music and bikes to ride all the time.

Fine entry, Megan!

What Does THiNG think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* This is a fine playlist. When I was researching for your wonderful challenges I realized what a fine songwriter Prince really was. He had even written a song about Baltimore and had performed it there.

I think he was quite a talented lyricist. The titles of his songs are very interesting as they seemed to be quite colorful. I think he was a colorful person, very artistic!

What does THiNG applaud about while reading your item?

Did you learn many songs you didn't know about? I guess I knew the hits mostly so this turned out to be a good learning experience for me. Some of his most haunting songs weren't hits, but he sure had some great ones that were.

What brought the Hand of THiNG to your port?

*Ghost* I am reading and reviewing in your Blog City Journal. This is an unusual combination of topics that you had for a prompt. I don't know much about the switching bodies stuff. Since I am a disembodied hand sometimes and a bull at other times, maybe I'm already doing it and don't realize it!

What Does THiNG think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* That stuff about the socioeconomic pressure on Jane Austen's characters is interesting.

Someone who came to mind immediately is Princess Diana. I wonder what Jane Austen would have done with her as a character since she was sort of pushed at a very young age into marrying someone of a higher rank (but lesser character, if you ask me)

I wonder how Jane Austen would have portrayed Prince Charles and his girlfriend (now wife) horseface. Oh, sorry, I mean Camilla, whatever the heck her title is now.

What does THiNG applaud about while reading your item?

I bet that Jane Austen would have been shocked at today's royal family and all that has happened. It just goes to show what inbreeding does to a bloodline, I guess when they stick to marrying each other's cousin.

At least the Spencers are a bit different from Queen Elizabeth's family, that isn't very royal in their behaviors, except for the current William and Kate thing. They seem sensible because he married a more ordinary type of person. Hopefully their kids won't inherit their grandpa's stupidity.

Very thought provoking entry, Megan!

*Ghost* You sent me some nice reviews, so I am here visiting your portfolio and reading in your current writing folder, which you have so thoughtfully prepared.

What Does THiNG think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea*This story had me thinking one thing, which is get to help, get to help. Then, you turned that on its ear. There are a lot of things I don't like about milling about with the general public. Of course, being isolated has its downside, since you don't really know what is going on in the world. Some would argue that none of us really knows that anyway. It's all an illusion.

What does THiNG applaud about while reading your item?

I don't like to give away plots in reviews. This guy made a life style choice that proved to be wise in the long run. I am not even sure things changed that much over time with getting out and about amongst the throng.

Creepy and shocking at the end. Sometimes lifestyle choices are validated in mysterious ways!

*Ghost* I am reading and reviewing your award winning monthly Jane Austen Newsletter, which I always look forward to and enjoy!

What Does THiNG think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* Firstly, I must tell you, Megan, you are the first person to recommend Poldark to me. I absolutely LOVE it! Thank you so much for that!

My friends who used to have a port here recommended it also after you did. They were here a long time ago and they have similar tastes in reading. They shared a purple briefcase back then before they left and were the Ogre Twins at Halloween back then.

I had never considered Aidan Turner for Darcy. Now that you say that, I see what you mean. Aidan Turner looks like my youngest nephew. I saw him interviewed and he's a goofy Irish kid. My nephew looks so much and acts so much like him that it's scary.

The show is good. That new guy, Ray, the one with Caroline as the niece is from Midsomer Murders. He is the first Barnaby detective in that show. He is great, I hope they give him more to do.

What does THiNG applaud about while reading your item?

I always learn a lot when I read your Newsletters.

I am reading a book now that is supposedly in the style of Austen. It is okay, but not as good.

It is called The Fortune Hunter by Daisy Goodwin. She wrote another one called The American Heiress which I got used, but haven't read yet.

I think you would enjoy The Fortune Hunter. It isn't a great book, but it's entertaining and takes place in around the 1800's with the royalty in England. Well, you might like it if you get a chance, it's in the bargain books now (hardback) at B & N and I think you can get it pretty cheap now.

Great Newsletter, as always. Well, Colin Firth has learned now, hasn't he? He will always be Darcy to me because he is the right age in my age group I guess.

Great work! *Heart*

I am not an expert on poetry or prose. I am merely a reader who loves to read. I am not a proofreader and would rather do most anything else rather than proof read. That is what proofreaders get paid to do. I always look forward to and love reading your Newsletters because I hear about stuff I am interested in. I share my experiences when I read and send a review, and try not to blabber on too much. I enjoyed visiting with you!

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


What brought the Hand of THiNG to your port?

*Ghost* I read another story and came to your portfolio to see if you might have written something else. And, I found this delightful flash fiction story!

What Does THiNG think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I thought about the frustration of the owl who thinks he has the number of all the mice. He doesn't realize that there might be independent thinkers lurking about who don't want the safety his behavior sometimes offers.

What does THiNG applaud about while reading your item?

I thought this ending was brilliant:

"I choose to live life without fear, no matter how short life may be.”

Maybe a mouse can teach us all a thing or two about living a life. So, maybe the owl will stop the bullying behaviors, but you never know. It is hard sometimes for bullies to change their ways. They tend to get a bit puffed up and self righteous about their nasty and bullying behaviors. The "owl" seems like that sort of soul to me.

Very fine story - I enjoyed reading this very much. It proves that you don't have to write a lot to say a lot!

Again, I wholeheartedly welcome you! *Hand1*

That is what proofreaders get paid to do. This is not a disclaimer because it changes for every item. A reviewing group here said they don't like disclaimers so I don't have any in my reviews. I like to pull tails sometimes, but mostly I endeavor to share my experiences when I read and try not to blabber on too much. I enjoyed visiting with you!

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


What brought the Hand of THiNG to your port?

*Ghost* I was looking to read someone new to the site! I would like to wave a very warm welcome to you!

What Does THiNG think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I thought about how Agatha remembered the story, so she knew she probably was the one who was meant to open the box. Your flash fiction story tells the reader a lot about the history of the box and the pure motive of the character portrayed.

Since you are new, you might want to check out "The Writer's Cramp, if you haven't already. It's a daily, prompt driven contest that anyone can enter. You might enjoy it - I'm one of the judges there and I enjoy my reading adventures there and elsewhere very much.

You did a find job of using the prompt words.

What does THiNG applaud about while reading your item?

I liked that the character, Agatha's traditions and stories all led up to the moment when she was able to open the box. You used the prompt words very effectively so that I, the reader in this instance, was anticipating what might happen when she came in contact with the thing she had been dreaming of for so long.

Fine story, with some wonderful description and suspense!

I am not an expert on poetry or prose. I am merely a reader who loves to read. I am not a proofreader and would rather do most anything else rather than proof read. If I were to nitpick, I would not enjoy my reading here and would quit doing it. Some people pride themselves in doing a handful of detailed and sometimes overly critical reviews a year. That is what proofreaders ultimately get paid to do and no one here, that I know of, gets paid for it. You might read a lot of reviews that give opinions. Remember that, these are just differing people's opinions that you get here. I share my experiences when I read and try not to blabber on too much. I enjoyed visiting with you!

What brought the Hand of THiNG to your port?

*Ghost* I saw that you added to your Blog City Journal, so I came to read and send a review.

What Does THiNG think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I am not sure about what this means really. I guess it is the ability to know you are writing from memory or imagination.

It sounds like you've got a good handle on it.

What does THiNG applaud about while reading your item?

You went through a lot with your surgery. I remember it was in the Summer and you were gone such a long time and then when I saw you had logged in again, I was so happy because it had been so long.

Mr. hooves had a breathing tube for six days and when he came out of it and they took the thing out, he thought he saw animation going on and bugs all over the place. I asked his surgeon if he would be nutty for long and he said, "probably not." I was scared, but he came out of that pretty soon.

Fine entry, Megan. I had never heard of Cryptomnesia before.

A Hand For a Ham



What brought the Hand of THiNG to your port?

*Ghost* You visited me with a nice review, so I am in your portfolio reading your fine travel journal.

What Does THiNG think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I was surprised the traffic was so bad. I used to live in the D.C. area and we still go back there to visit family. The traffic is probably the main reason we moved and definitely the thing that keeps us from moving back.

In Florida, I would expect it to be more laid back, but maybe all the Yankees moved down there and took their bad driving habits with them when they retired. If I got on the highway where I live now (which I never do), I might see the same thing you write of.

What does THiNG applaud about while reading your item?

I particularly like your eating recommendations. When I next go on the road I will definitely peruse in here and see what you recommend for dining. Big Bear sounds like the best of the lot here, even though one might have expected the best to be a seafood place.

Fried food is definitely something to partake of sparingly at any age.

The party life is boring to me. They are all out on the prowl for "the one" in times of youth. Really, how tiresome that is to think of doing it again. Plus, I would have to drink to enjoy it and I don't drink anymore.

Another fine entry that I enjoyed reading! Nice work!

Thing Signature Made For tHiNg!



What brought the Hand of THiNG to your port?

*Ghost* You sent me some very nice reviews recently, so here I am visiting you and reading your poetry.

What Does THiNG think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* The woodland is a lovely and idyllic setting for a poem that is enchanting and lyrical.

It is an inviting picture that you paint with your eloquent words.

What does THiNG applaud about while reading your item?

This was my favorite part:

"now I have much freedom to fly so high,
beside the crimson moon, beaming in the sky."

There is something about that which is so original and lovely. Even though it is about to be autumn here, I felt myself drawn back into Spring time in a magical way.

Wonderful poem!

I am not a proofreader and would rather do most anything else rather than proof read. That is what proofreaders get paid to do. If I were to proofread when I read, I wouldn't read nearly as much.

What brought the Hand of THiNG to your port?

*Ghost*You sent me a nice review recently, so here I am to read and send you a review for your travel journal entry!

What Does THiNG think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea*It sounds like a good place to visit. Judging from the date, you might have been on the road when the gas shortage occurred. I was wondering if you had any trouble getting gasoline as you traveled because of the Colonial Pipeline fuel spill and disruption. Since last Sunday, we have had very little of it. Most of the pumps are covered, with a short spurt having gas on Thursday afternoon.

I hope your travels were smooth and you didn't run into any problems.

What does THiNG applaud about while reading your item?

The seafood sounds grand and I may visit there. The Mariners Museum sounds interesting, also. My brother lives in Williamsburg now and he finds plenty of historic sites and activities to enjoy in that general area.

Congrats on your grandson! We have two of them now and they are a joy - we love to visit them up in Maryland.

Fine entry with great eating recommendations!

What brought the Hand of THiNG to your port?

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

What Does THiNG think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I thought about eating and it did not make the process seem appetizing. This is like spending too much time watching The Food Network. You get so it is all you think about.

Well, dieting I know about, too. But maybe you are talking about something else like the way we hog things in the environment. Or it could apply to people who grab and loot things that don't belong to them and destroy whatever's in their path.

All are gluttonous and selfish so and sos.

What does THiNG applaud about while reading your item?

This part actually reminded me of someone I used to know:

"Add to that, though, those masticating
smacks, those snaps of whip-like tongues from incisors
to the roof of mouth, and then the dieting discomfort
climbed a ladder and dangled, holding on with one
arm. "

I don't miss her much now that she's gone. You might say that silence is golden.

Thanks for ending the poem with the prompt sentence. It fits very well! Bravo!

*CakeB* HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews*CakeP*


What brought the Hand of THiNG to your port?

*Ghost* I am the judge for today in "The Writer's Cramp. Thanks for entering and Happy 3rd Account Anniversary today! *Balloonb**Balloonv*

What Does THiNG think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I think that you set the scene very well for having survived something devastating like a tornado or a bomb dropping on one's house. I am not sure there is much difference between the two of those.

The survivors are a grateful human and her beloved dog, Roscoe.

The love for Roscoe is shown in that her first concern is getting food and water for the pup.

You did a good job of using the prompt sentence. The only thing is that it is supposed to be at the end (per the judge's instructions) and not the beginning. It works well with your story either way. To awaken or emerge to such chaos would be a shock of enormous proportions.

What does THiNG applaud about while reading your item?

I think that counting one's blessings is always a good thing. It is truly a blessing to survive such devastation. I love how you show the devotion in her declaration that she will not leave the dog.

Lovely story that made me want to hug my own Boo. Never in a million years would I leave her in a such a situation.

Very well written story! Fine work!
