Review of Darkness

First and foremost, thank you for sharing your work . I am not an expert reviewer. I am just another writer, but I know it is the reviews that help us to perfect our craft. My opinions are just that; my opinions.

OVERALL IMPRESSIONS:

I found this work to be dealing on higher levels of thought. Too many higher thoughts and not enough dealing this the essential feeling. It is almost like you were attempting to find the most difficult ways of communicating your feelings.

PLOT & CHARACTERS:

Lying in the darkness and trying to comprehend it is the message that i get. However the message gets lost in the over usage to loftier phrases.

SUGGESTIONS/EDITS:

I guess your writing is just not for me. I need my messages simplier.

FINAL THOUGHTS:

Keep writing.

Review of Windows

First and foremost, thank you for sharing your work . I am not an expert reviewer. I am just another writer, but I know it is the reviews that help us to perfect our craft. My opinions are just that; my opinions.

OVERALL IMPRESSIONS:

A group of fears that a lady experiences in a garden. They seem unrelated and are just expressions of what might happen. They don't seem to join into a concrete story.

PLOT & CHARACTERS:

A character looking through a window and identifying himself as fear creates a vision of a woman being eaten by red biting ants. She goes on to have fears connected with an awful experience from childhood. The different thoughts do not connect for me but are just vignettes of horror.

SUGGESTIONS/EDITS:

Showing a connection with the character makes the events more realistic for me.

FINAL THOUGHTS:

Keep writing.
