          onyx,

          This is a Writing.Com account Anniversary Reviews email siggie review. The Bully was a satisfying read. The introduction . . . the first few lines of the story, tells us the two characters who will be involved in the action. A little later, the bully is introduced.

          The plot is articulately conveyed and effectively introduced shortly after the opening lines. The reader has no trouble following the storyline.

As for the action, there is no dearth of action in the story. The details are just right, full and rich, but not overflowing.

*BulletB* Punctuation
Because punctuation is as important as the other parts of writing, most suggestions I mention to authors deals primarily with punctuation, with some grammar and spelling.

The reason I concentrate on punctuation is: Punctuation is a printed recording of all the inflections and nuances in a person's voice as they speak. Without punctuation, the speaker's voice sounds like a monotone with no variety in sound or thought. The printed version of a speaker or narrator's words is an extension of real life, and is controlled by punctuation.

Listed below are some suggestions for your consideration.

1 . . . so I kept (me) mouth shut and my eyes down when he stared me down and his friends laughed.

. . . so I kept my mouth shut and my eyes down when he stared me down comma and his friends laughed.

When two standalone sentences (or independent clauses) are joined together using a conjunction like and, but, or, the conjunction should be preceded by a comma.


2 'He won't be back. '

'He won't be back.'

3 (' Don't worry,') said Mr. Kim when Eddie left the store.

'Don't worry,' said Mr. Kim when Eddie left the store.

3 When I opened my eyes, which were remarkably still intact (.,) I was surprised to see that Mr. Kim . . .

When I opened my eyes, which were remarkably still intact semicolon I was surprised to see that Mr. Kim . . .

4 Mr Kim and his friends go back in there but I'm not really allowed.

Mr. Kim and his friends go back in there comma but I'm not really allowed.

You need a period after (Mr), and (but) connects two independent clauses. When two standalone sentences (or independent clauses) are joined together using a conjunction like and, but, or, the conjunction should be preceded by a comma.

5 ('Fuck you.) Eddie screamed back, but the fight was out of him now.

'Fuck you.' Eddie screamed back, but the fight was out of him then.

7 Eddie kept screaming out abuses at Mr. Kim calling him stuff like chink and (slant- eye.)

Eddie kept screaming out abuses at Mr. Kim comma calling him stuff like chink and slant-eye.

8 'I know your father,' he yelled pointing into Eddie's face.

9 Eddie was the ringleader, and he was the one that shoved me, so I kept me mouth shut and my eyes down when he stared me down and his friends laughed.

Eddie was the ringleader, and he was the one who shoved me, so I kept my mouth shut and my eyes down when he stared me down comma and his friends laughed.

(and) connects two independent clauses, a comma needs to be placed before it.

10 I wanted so desperately to slough (of) my shyness . . .

I wanted so desperately to slough off my shyness . . .

11 I suppose (me) resolve collapsed half a step, but I was still pretty upset . . .

I suppose my resolve collapsed half a step, but I was still pretty upset . . .

12 It's one thing when a guy picks on a guy and it's another thing when he picks on a guy's friend.

It's one thing when a guy picks on a guy comma and it's another thing when he picks on a guy's friend.

When two standalone sentences (or independent clauses) are joined together using a conjunction . . . and, but, or, the conjunction should be preceded by a comma.

13 (Eddies) yelling that he's got steel-toed boots on and he's going to crack my skull.

Eddie's yelling that he's got steel-toed boots on comma and he's going to crack my skull.

and joins two independent clauses, a comma needs to come before it.

14 . . . but I admit I didn't have it in me (do) do anything about it at that moment.

. . . but I admit I didn't have it in me to do anything about it at that moment.

17 Before then, the only video games I'd ever seen were quite simplistic involving something like a triangle moving through space . . .

Before then, the only video games I'd ever seen were quite simplistic comma involving something like a triangle moving through space . . .

18 At that moment I was terrified for sure.

At that moment comma I was terrified for sure.

At that moment is an introductory phrase which introduces the primary part of the sentence, I was terrified for sure.

*Bullet*

The Bully, is a good example of bullying, told with rich detail and believability . . .

         von Garret,
An Anniversary Reviews email siggie review, as this is the month of the anniversary of your WdC account.

In this story, Leom, an older man, decides to herd his goats from lower elevation grazing lands to higher up pastures. With the help of his dog, Leom is moving the goats along, with some difficulty. He regrets his decision to make the move . . . Tired, he sits down and eats. From the distance, he hears the cry of a scartharok. He knows there is possible death for some living being in the near future, because the scartharok gathers where life comes to an end. Compassion dwells in his heart . . . so Leom decides to investigate. After a search toward where many scartharoks are now circling, Leom comes to a place where he can see the slopes below. He sees a figure there, a figure walking with difficulty. He heads down a slope to get closer, and is able to discern the figure is a mam. Determined to save the man, Leom climbs down the scree-ladden slope, discovers the man is a boy, and somehow gets him up the slope. From there, he takes the boy to his home, and cares for him until he has recovered.

Emyrn,

. . . a Writing.Com account Anniversary Reviews email siggie review.

          *Music1*,           *Music1*,           *Music1*

The beguiling and lonesome whistle of a flute beckons an unsuspectig boy into a forbidding forest . . . The flute cries . . . its melody enchanting. Thus dazed, the boy follows the sound of the cry.

          The boy becomes lost, destitute . . . crying. Of a sudden, in the midst of his confusion, his despair, a frog approaches him . . . speaks.

          "Need some help?"

          Tauntingly, it proceeds to inform the boy that it has no intention of helping him. Rather, its aim is to help itself, as in, "Pass me a tidbit of that boy's liver, Jim."

          In the mind of the frog, and the many other frogs who have been attracted to the scene, the boy is, Tonight's dinner.

          After informing their guest of the contents of tonight's menu, the frogs press in closer to the boy. Salivating . . .

         Before their meal can be served, a lovely voice rises above their chorus of anticipating croaks, stopping them in mid-drool.

          "I'll light your way."

          Esmeralda, the fox, saves the boy from consumption . . . She guides him home, and he never listens to a strange flute again.

*BulletB* Punctuation suggestions

1 The fox only took a deep breath spewing forth fire burning a trail through the darkness.

The fox only took a deep breath comma spewing forth fire and burning a trail through the darkness.

*BulletB* Other comments

• Plot . . . a nicely done plot, leaving no room for complaints from the reader.

• Action/detail A precise combination, lending neither to overuse.

• Resolution The boy escapes the call of the flute and vows to never listen to strangers again.

          I enjoyed this story, in one word, delightful.

Soul sister,

I am today, reviewing your story, Pay Back. I'll be concentrating on grammar and punctuation, as these two things are important to the health of a story. Before that, I'll give the readers a brief outline of, Pay Back.

*BulletG*

The story involves a woman taking a measure of revenge against her rich, ex-husband. Her ex has severely abused her in many ways. He put her in a mental hospital, cut off her funds, accused her of having sexual affairs and lied to her family about her.

She is, at this moment, standing beside his historical home, which she has just set on fire, watching it burn with pleasure. As she stands there, she revisits her memories of all the wrongs he had perpetrated upon her, and makes plans for further acts of revenge. Payback is hell . . . she thinks.

          Emyrn,
Congratulations on the month of your WdC account anniversary. I liked your story about Lady Rose; it's good to read about a female pirate. She really had it all figured out, how to decoy other ships until it was too late for them to fight back. The ruse of having a few of the pirate crew lounge around on deck, wearing women's clothes, was a good stroke of the pen, as was the rest of the story. The story was exciting and held my attention throughout. The pirate flag on a black background with a skull clutching a crimson rose between it's teeth . . . great imagery.

I have one edit suggestion, no biggy.

Edit suggestion

1 "It's Sloop class sporting the Union Jack.”

"It's Sloop class comma sporting the Union Jack.”

Above you have two things happening. First, he tells them it's a sloop, then he tells them what kind of flag they are flying. A comma needs to separate the two.

"It's sloop class comma flying the Union Jack."

Comments

. . . a good story, I enjoyed it. Write, write . . .

          bluehats#5,

On the month of your WdC account anniversary . . . a review. Nice work with the story. You probably should stick to one name for the girl, Coraline/Cora.

You used some good sentences throughout the story. I saw a couple of things, or so, that I think you need to edit. They're listed below.

1 Coraline could hear the (voices) below, loud, with no care for how their (voices) betrayed them.

The structure of the sentence is unclear. Betrayed them from what? The sentence makes it sound as if the voices have voices . . .

Coraline could hear the loud people below, they had no care for how their voices might betray their presence.

2 A good thief didn’t waste time, (“in an out”) was her motto.

And is misspelled; do away with the quotation marks, use commas instead.

A good thief didn’t waste time, in and out comma was her motto.

3 Cora shook her head, “I’m okay Mommy.”

Cora shook her head, “I’m okay comma Mommy.”

Nice work, write on . . .

         Hi Jacky,
I ran across your portfolio and
I'm dropping by to review an item. I enjoyed your story; it's a nice bit of writing. Sibling rivalry can be a hard thing to overcome, huh? But it seems Susan stopped her brother's meddling in her project midstride. It looks as if James learned his lesson well. And it's great that they are still very good friends.

*BulletB* Comments

I noticed the lack of commas in some strategic places in your story. Below, you can see them. Your written words are listed first, with an edit suggestion below.

         von Garret,
. . . a Writing.Com account anniversary review of The Drowned Lover. There were a few things I noticed, they are listed below.

1 Every day I followed her down to the (river;) amidst the weeping willows and the wild roses.

Every day comma I followed her down to the river comma amidst the weeping willows and the wild roses.

The semicolon is used to separate two independent clauses. Every day, I followed her down to the river is an independent clause. but amidst the weeping willows and the wild roses is a dependent clause. The dependent clause can't stand by itself and make sense; it depends on Every day, I followed her down to the river to make sense. You need to use a comma between the two clauses.

         By the way, (Every day, I followed her down to the river, amidst the weeping willows and the wild roses.) is a good selection of words. It sounds like poetry.

2 She hummed her Siren's song, and for a time I lived as if in a (dream;) her silent watcher.

She hummed her Siren's song, and for a time I lived as if in a dream comma her silent watcher.

The same with the above sentence, a comma instead of the semicolon.

*BulletB* Other comments
The whole story has a flow and rhythm as if it was poetry. The words complement each other, as a result of the deep emotions present in the narrators mind. For me, it's a stand-out work. Thank you, for sharing . . .

Chan,

          Welcome to Writing.Com. I read your poem, who is she? You said in your bio that you don't know anything about poetry. I'd like to help. What I will say is: I noticed you could express yourself really well. This is evident in the lines of Who is she? What I'd like to do is, reformat your poem, and see if you like it better. I'll do the first stanza only. Your first stanza is directly below, and below that, another way to format it . . . to give it rhythm.

*ButtonG*

Who is she ?

She don't know who she is anymore?
But whatever she is its not her , the real her is trapped, so far away.
That the key to her freedom is lost and its not coming back.
She is trapped , trapped in a way that she doesn't even know how she got there.
Her wings? Are cutted off in pieces , her hopes? Are shattered , her voice? Is lost , her heart? Forget how to beat , her mind? is not hers anymore.
It's like she is their physically but her mind is being controlled by the demons inside her , making her difficult to breath , to work , to speak , to think rationally .
She is lost , so lost that she forget to come back and now doesn't even know the way back.

*BulletG* New format

Who is she
Anymore she doesn't know
Whoever she is
It's not her inside
She is trapped
So far away

The key
To her freedom
Is lost
And its not coming back
She is trapped
Lost in her own heart

Her wings
Are cut off
Her hopes are shattered
Her voice is lost
Her heart
Forgot how to beat

Her mind
Belongs to another
She is there
But not there
The turmoil inside her
Makes it hard for her to breathe

To speak to work to think
She is lost
So lost she forgot
To come back
Now she doesn't
Know the way back . . .

I hope you like this, It's more like poetry this way. It's only one writer's opinion, disregard it, if you don't like it. Write on . . .

Regards, jackson

          MrH,
On the anniversary of your WdC account, a review . . . I enjoyed reading your story. It let's us know that animals, contrary to the beliefs of many scientists, do have thinking ability . . . the ability to reason. And a bison mother does have love for her offspring.

         The study of animal behavior is a complex undertaking.

         No matter how many brain scans are performed, no matter how many scientists pore over the resulting pictures, observation in the field is the true key in determining to what extent bison can think, and even observation has its limits. Thank you, for sharing this story with us.

*BulletB*

Punctuation/spelling

          I took note of a few mistakes in punctuation and spelling in your story, they are listed below, along with a suggested edit.

Hello Joyous,
. . . an anniversary review. Congrats on being with WdC another year.
*CakeB*
Comments . . .
(for readers of your story.)

The Locket is an endearing story of a young woman becoming old. Her husband, because of a collapsed tunnel, disappears for long years. All she has is the locket, with a picture of her husband inside. She clutches it as she prays for his return. But he doesn't return. Still . . . she prays.

         On her deathbed, she calls her relatives to her bedside to distribute her assets. To her granddaughter, she gives the locket. One visitor later, the woman dies, but in the meantime . . .
         Are the woman's prayers answered with so little time remaining for her? To find out, read the story.

*BulletB*
Punctuation

1 It had been given to my Grandmother Marie long ago . . .

It had been given to my Grandmother comma Marie long ago . . .

2 I came to her side hesitantly, by tears hidden behind a mask at the moment.

I came to her side hesitantly, my tears hidden behind a mask at the moment.

3 . . . and Grandpa hadn’t come home, yet she still prayed, and hoped.

. . . and Grandpa hadn’t came home, yet she still prayed, and hoped.

4 It was for that reason I was surprised that she had given it to me. And the reason I didn’t want it.

The phrase (And the reason I didn’t want it) is not a complete sentence.

It was for that reason I was surprised that she had given it to me comma and it was the reason I didn’t want it.

Final Comments

. . . a good story with a surprise ending. Write on . . .

Hello Ex!

Congrats on the anniversary of your WdC account.

*BulletG*

A synopsis of your story for future readers . . .

Henry Mann is a good man turned bad. His wife is killed and his daughter gravely injured by stray bullets from a gangster fight. As he stands by his daughter's hospital bed, Henry vows revenge. Does he get it? Read the story to find out . . .

Good punctuation makes a good story better. See some things I noticed in your punctuation below . . .



He believes his (mouths) moves to respond when the . . .

He believes his mouth moves to respond when the . . .

A few hours later on comma the children’s ward of the hospital . . .

A few hours later on is an introductory phrase which introduces the rest of the sentence, a comma indicates a short pause there.

Then darkness (over takes) him.

overtakes is misspelled.

He grabs the few items that (was) requested and makes his way to the cashier.

He grabs the few items that were requested . . .

. . . where he believes his wife and daughter (is).

. . . where he believes his wife and daughter are

Wife and daughter are plural, you need to use (are).

At the counter he sees a child’s candy toy.

At he counter comma he sees a child’s candy toy.

At the counter is an introductory phrase, a comma needs to come after it.

Kalee will like this”.

Kalee will like this." The period goes inside the quotation marks.

The period should come after (this) then the quotation mark.

He (put) the items on the counter and (digs) in his pocket for money.

The above sentence uses a singular verb (put) in the first phrase, and a plural verb (digs) in the second phrase; both verbs need to be singular or plural, not a mixture.

He put the items on the counter and dug in his pocket for money.

. . . or alternatively, He puts the items on the counter and digs in his pocket for money.

Once inside he yells out . . .

Once inside comma he yells out . . .

"Hey, I bring home the iron too”.

The period should be inside the quotation marks.

"We do not believe you were
targeted”. the period should be inside the quotation marks.

He says, "Work was alright, but, I live for the (night”,) as he grabs her butt and squeezes. She smiles and pulls away, “Well if you didn’t get the groceries . . .

He says, "Work was alright, but delete comma I live for the (night,") as he grabs her butt and squeezes. She smiles and pulls away, “Well comma if you didn’t get the groceries . . .

Suddenly there is a sharp pain in his shoulder. . .

Suddenly comma there is a sharp pain in his shoulder. . .

Suddenly is an adverb, it modifies the entire sentence which comes after it, a comma needs the separate it from the words it modifies.

To be precise, your family was bystanders hit by stray gunfire.

To be precise, your family were bystanders hit by stray gunfire.

(Family) is plural and (was) is singular, you need to use the plural form of (to be) which is (were).

On the way out Lt. Mitchell turns to Henry and says . . .

On the way out comma Lt. Mitchell turns to Henry and says . . .

. . .he spies a group of men on the side of the buliding . . .

For clarity you need to say, beside the building.

"Hi daddy(!”,) she yells out,
“What did ya get (me?”.)

She yells out, “Hi daddy! What did ya get me?”

The exclamation point terminates Hi daddy! and the question mark terminates What did ya get me? There is no need for the periods.

*BulletG* Comments

It's an excellent story with plenty of action. The only thing I noticed was the punctuation. Write on . . .

Regards, jackson

lightbeam333,
. . . an anniversary review, in connection to your recent WdC account anniversary. I was impressed by your story, and many of the things you mentioned about the present state of the world, I also, hold concern about.

Image #2194839 over display limit. -?-

I enjoyed how you described your coming to awareness of the things which are important in life. I believe the most important things in life are: love, honoring the Earth, understanding, compassion, the lack of jealousy, not being vengeful and obeying the laws, of course. There are, of course, many other important things.

My favorite line of the whole item is: 'Why is everyone so damn concerned about what others have and not worrying about the things that are important or actually matter.'


You need a question mark at the end of the above sentence. I noticed a few other things as I was reading . . .

1 My soul is old as i have been told many times. I needs to be capitalized

2 Just like i have been told i am an Earth Angel sent to . . .

3 . . . to the things i have seen and have experienced that I just cannot explain.

No matter where it occurs, the pronoun I
is always capitalized.

I enjoyed your story, your descriptions of your rebirth into awareness of what is important in life and your growth to reach that state. The Earth needs more people like you.

••• A final thought

Our Earth becomes what we change it into, let us leave it pristine.

Regards, jackson

Soul sister,
Congratulations on being at WdC another year. I am sending you some comments on your story, Just an Alabama Girl.

          Memories are special, huh? They reside in our hearts, waiting for that special moment they will be released to once again have the breath of life.
          My earliest memory, brought to life by your story, is standing in a crib. It was pine, I think, just stained, no paint . . . Along the top were red and blue wooden balls, about the size of marbles. You could spin them around and around.

          I enjoyed the way you described your early life. The details about your brother, your father and the rest of the family, give us a vivid eye into what it was like growing up in Alabama. I especially liked the parts about farm life, as I was born on a rural farm in Kentucky.

Since your story is not yet completed all I speak of is: the way it was told, the interesting detail of your ealy life and my enjoyment of it.

Five *Star*s, an excellent story.

Regards, jackson

Good morning Ben Haye 11,

Happy WdC account anniversary . . . an aniversary review.

In The Creation of Man-Part 1, you have honored God.

          The story is a wonderful tribute to our creator. You use as your source, the words of the writer of Genesis, who at God's direction and approval wrote the account.

But, 'only the one's who have eyes will see' the truth of Genesis. The blind ones lack the eyes of wisdom.

         . . . great writing.

Regards, jackson

Congratulations on the anniversary of your account here at WdC.

A little note to show my appreciation of The Hem of His Garment. This item shows us that stories can be anywhere, it is our obligation as writers to find them in our hearts. You found one . . .

I like how you took a Biblical source and transformed it into this tale. It gives the reader a face to look upon as they read the Biblical account. We see not only a face, but a person. A person whose hope has died in her heart stands before the reader as they read your story. We can see this forlorn woman, experience her emotions, have sympathy in our hearts and experience the joy which filled her when she touched the hem of Jesus' garment. You did a fine job of looking inward and developing this story. You show us her despair from suffering a horrible affliction for twelve years, but more importantly, you show us her faith that the son of God can cure her.

Other Comments

I noticed one little thing, and I know you just missed it when editing. See it below . . .

Rachel put on a brave face as she returned at their greetings . . .

At needs to be deleted.

Midnight Dawn,

Good morning, I have just finished being entertained by your item, Nightfall. To congratulate you on another year at WdC, I send you this review.

I enjoyed your descriptions of the stranger, you didn't concentrate on just his outer surface; you gave us a glimpse of his mindset. The rest of the story followed right along the same path which you established with those descriptions. We could imagine sitting there watching the story unfold as if we were a part of it. It's a great story, packed into just a few words. I noticed a couple of places where you need a comma in your story, see them below.

1 Playing cards was his specialty, and playing cards with drunken fools he found in little saloons like this one, well that was his bread and butter.

Paying cards was his specialty, and playing cards with drunken fools he found in little saloons like this one, well comma that was his bread and butter.

In using the word well, well, it's an introductory word which introduces the whole sentence, or phrase which follows it. It suggests a slight pause before someone continues speaking.

2 Under the sherriff's watchful eyes, the stranger mounted up and rode out of town a little richer for his time.

Under the sherriff's watchful eyes, the stranger mounted up and rode out of town comma a little richer for his time.

In the sentence above, the main objective of the sentence is to tell the reader (the sheriff watches the stranger as he mounts up and rides out of town.) Following that, you give us the extra information that the stranger is now a little richer. A comma needs to separate the two things.

. . . great story.

Regards, jackson

Hello ~BABYLOVE~,

. . . a review on the anniversary of your creating an account on WdC. This is meant to be a helpful review, I hope you are still writing, because your story was enjoyable. I will offer a suggestion . . .

What a writer wants to do, is to have their work read. It's the writer's need, to draw the reader's attention. A good opening will catch the reader's attention, inducing them to continue reading. With this in mind, I offer this suggestion . . . Instead of your opening lines which are below . . .

*BulletG* Your opening

This girl is getting ready to leave her home. She gets in her car and turns the engine on, she stares straight out of the window and starts the strange thoughts of things happening and thoughts of things that might be happening.

I would open your story something like this . . .

Strange things happen on Cemetery Road. The last time she drove on that road, weird thoughts crept into her mind. But here she was, sitting in her car with the key in her hand, only seconds away from driving on Cemetery Road again.

Oh Lord, she thought. Please don't let that happen again.

*BulletB* Punctuation
I will give you a few tips on punctuation below . . .

*ButtonG*

I am listing your sentence/sentences first, followed by an edit suggestion.

1 There is no cars passing by or coming towards her.

Above, if your sentence was talking about one car, (is) would be the right word to use, but if you are talking about two or more cars, you need to use (are.) Always use (is) when speaking of one object, and (are) for more than one.

2 She put the blinker to turn left and presses the gas and then turns to the left and accelerates.

In the sentence above, replace the first two (ands) with a comma. Your sentence is an (and) splice.

She turns on the blinker to turn left comma presses the gas comma turns to the left and accelerates.

3 She (hires) the volume on the radio . . .

She turns the volume higher on the radio . . .

*BulletG* Final thoughts

Editing is as important as writing, use your own judgement on whether to edit or not, but the fine-tuned product is like a guitar, it sounds better when tuned. Always keep writing, because you have a lot of words that want to be said.

Regards, jackson

Hi bonrose68,

. . . a WdC account anniversary review. Your poem, Forgotten Hero has a good rhythm, it sounds good when read aloud. I appreciate your appreciation of all the forgotten heros of the world. They need to be remembered, and not only on Veterans Day, or with the laying down of plastic flowers on Memorial Day. Although these things do show a measure of gratitude, the forgotten heros need to be remembered in our hearts, as you have remembered them with your words.

Regards, jackson

A review from Anniversary Reviews, congrats on the anniversary of your opening a WdC account. Ha, ha, ha! It's a great story. I have been in some lines about like that in the Philippines. I usually stand up, with one hand on my wallet. The only thing I noticed which kept me from rating your story as perfect was comma placement. Whenever there are two or more actions in the same sentence, a comma needs to separate these actions for ease of reading. Below, I'll list the ones I noticed.


If he tarried too long comma he’d get bypassed. If he went too soon comma he’d get trampled.

Looking to his right comma Jack saw his counterpart.

Long before the train arrived comma Jack heard it.

Usually he was several places back in the line, and only on the weekend did he ever get to actually sit down.

In the sentence directly above, Usually is an adverb, it modifies the entire sentence, so it needs a comma after it.

But as he pushed his way in comma he stepped on the man’s foot as he went towards an open seat.

*BulletG* My final thoughts regarding the story . . .

It's a good, sound story, with just the right amount of detail to make it humorous. Action abounds, and the thoughts and actions of Jack lend believability to the story. Great job . . .


Regards, jackson

peoplewatcher,

From Anniversary Reviews, a review of, The Day His Hair Turned White. I like the story, it's refreshing to read true to life stories. Yours is the story of a young boy, delivering newspapers before daylight. Toward the end of his route, he is badly frightened by the sudden appearance of a weird, out of place man. He runs away as swiftly as he can. Upon arriving home, he asks his mom to tell him the truth . . . '. . . has my hair turned white?'

I did notice a few things you missed when editing the story, see them below . . .

1 (Normally) he and his siblings were not allowed to go anywhere except school or errands.

You need a comma after Normally, it's an adverb and modifies the entire sentence.

2 Why not set the alarm to get up earlier than usual, do the route and then go fishing.

Above, you are asking yourself a question as the narrator of the story. The sentence needs a question mark.

3 After that he needed confirmation from his mother that he was allright.

In this sentence, the boy performed an action in the previous sentence and . . . After that comma he needed confirmation from his mother . . .

4 He had a question he needed to ask her but they needed to be in the light when she answered him.

In the sentence above but is a conjunction which joins two independent clauses, you need a comma before it

5 "what is wrong? You look like you have seen a ghost!"

" begin (What) with a capital letter "What is wrong? You look like you have seen a ghost!"

6 he had to come up with a plan..

An ellipsis is three dots.

7 He looked over his shoulder every now and then to see if the person was chasing him.

(every now and then) needs a comma before it and it needs a comma after it.

8 "hey, I just seen a dead body standing upright in that doorway back there".

8 "Hey, I just saw a dead body standing upright in that doorway back there".

Begin (hey) with a capital letter, and (seen) needs to be saw)

9 . . . before 8:00A.M.

A space is needed between between 8:00 and A.M.


I enjoyed reading your story . . .

Regards, jackson

Hello Rick Dean,

It was a pleasure to read, Walk the Plank.

*ButtonB* A brief synopsis of, Walk the Plank.

It's the story of two men aboard a pirate ship, Stuart, a thief, and Edward, a former stowaway. Stuart loses his share of their last act of piracy while throwing the bones. He decides to steal the markers Pegleg Will carries against him, but is caught in the act. Onboard ship, the penalty for theft is death. A trial is held. After the verdict. Stuart is grabbed by the scalp and the breekers, then fed to the sharks. Edward decides at his first opportunity, he will take his leave . . .

Good story . . . I also really liked your other story I reviewed

*Button* To be helpful, I offer suggestions in punctuation, use it as you see fit . . .

*BulletG* Edit suggestions

*ButtonG*

He only saw one paper(;) his own marker – his final marker - disappearing into the meaty paws of Pegleg Will, the crippled cook of The Diving Swan.

*BulletGr*

Directly above, is an incorrect use of a semicolon. The part of the sentence before the semicolon, I only saw one paper is an independent clause, but the part after the semicolon, his own marker – his final marker - disappearing into the meaty paws of Pegleg Will, the crippled cook of The Diving Swan. This is a dependent clause, depending on the first clause to make sense. Both clauses need to be independent when using a semicolon.

*ButtonG*

Stuart's eyes sunk, crestfallen, barely hearing the gravelly voice.

*BulletG* Stuart's eyes sank, he was screstfallen, barely hearing the gravelly voice.

Hello Rick Dean,

*ButtonG* A short synopsis of your story.

It's the story of Marta, a young girl. She's on a beach gathering driftwood for a fire. Most of the drifting wood follows the current into a cave. Marta goes inside for easier gathering. After a while, she uncovers an old chest buried in the sand, digs it out, and finds a human skull inside. It's old . . . She gets the skull outside and finds some sort of note with it . . . Here lies the head and hoard of Montbars the Exterminator. Further, there was a curse placed upon the hoard. But Marta didn't think it was true, would she find out?

*ButtonB* While reading, I noticed a few things, they are listed below, with your sentence listed first, then a suggested edit. I do this to be helpful, use at your discretion.

Suggested edits

*BulletB* Little Gouverneur's Bay would disappoint tourists for the next few days(;) what few tourists it held.

Little Gouverneur's Bay would disappoint tourists for the next few days comma what few tourists it held.

*Bullet* An independent clause and a dependent clause, which you have in the sentence above, are joined with a comma. There must be two independent clauses to use a semicolon.

*BulletV* . . . but for the most part the next two months would be her vacation.

. . . but for the most part comma the next two months would be her vacation.

*BulletP* Better they look then not want to look.

Better they look comma then not want to look.

*BulletO* The storm deposited most of it but the rest had been left by dumb kids.

*BulletV* She liked to think that had she been invited she wouldn't have been too lazy to throw out her beer bottles and empty cigarette packs.

*BulletGr* Meanwhile she took the round object out into the light.

Meanwhile comma she took the round object out into the light.

*BulletO* She shook yet tried to tell herself she was being silly.

She shook comma yet tried to tell herself she was being silly.

*BulletP* Two vacant eye sockets leered back at her; (their empty voids filled with sand.)

*Bullet* Above, the part of the sentence after the semicolon is dependent on the part before the semicolon to make sense . . . a comma instead of a semicolon needs to be used to connect the two clauses.

Two vacant eye sockets leered back at her comma their empty voids filled with sand.

*Bullet* Suddenly now I had a plot, and who doesn't love good pirate yarn?
