Hello Lightspeed555,

DISCLAIMER: I am not a professional editor nor a genius writer. I review based on opinion and general observation. I cannot and do not claim to be able to turn your writing into literary art On the the review -

This is precisely why I very seldom eat canned prepared food. *Laugh*

First Impression: A very entertaining tale of a gentlemen that revolutionized Hormel's spicing practices.
I found the writing style well suited to the story.

Technical: There are a few rough spots in the first two paragraphs, I had to go back and reread a few sentences. Once I was through the intro- it was a smooth read.

Overall Impression: I liked it. I remember the Tylenol scare, so I could relate to the piece. It made laugh during the question and answer portion and the involvement of the FBI. -- And the laughter gave me a reason to rate higher....

Side Note: I may not know what's in canned chicken soup, but I can tell you, I wouldn't touch a can of tuna.

You did a great job -- I really enjoyed it!

Thank you for sharing! *Smile*

Review of Until Death . . .  Open in new Window.

Hello Libby Lee,

I was just poking around and happened upon your wonderful story. This is fabulous, it captures the moment, and transports the reader to the time and place of the event.

You have an excellent way of describing the setting without overkill. I wanted to continue to read. No slow paragraphs every detail you disclosed is necessary to tell the tale.

I will go on to chapter 2 anticipating how the events play out. You have hooked me. *Bigsmile*

TECHNICAL: Nothing to report. The story flows, no confusion on characters, setting or plot.

OVERALL IMPRESSION: Strong storyline, -- although I don't yet know the details of your characters -- your introduction gives me more than enough to want to get to know every detail as the plot unfolds.

Very well written, very well organized and a superb writing style. Not a big help, but I have no suggestions for improvement.

Thank you for sharing, and I am looking forward to reading more as your tale unfolds.

First Impression: I can relate to this. I'm in the same time frame. Kids gone, husband gone, and just working toward retirement.

Opinion: Makes me want to re-evaluate my current life before it's too late. *Smile*

Very nice piece. Concise, and thought provoking.

Thank you for sharing.

Review of Still Standing  Open in new Window.

Rated: E | (3.5)
Hello PaperLife,

First Impression: Difficult to read in this format. In my humble opinion you need to break it into stanzas.

Overall Opinion: The piece packs a punch, a lot of emotion and both rational and irrational feelings.

Technical: In my opinion, you need a little consistency with the numericals. Break it into stanzas and give me a flow to read.

enjoyed the piece -- *Bigsmile*
