Review of Stare-master  Open in new Window.
Rated: E | (4.0)
Hello Foxtale, PM here to review your story.

Thank you for the review request.

The diction and characterization are good. However, there isn't really a plot. While it's a good start, there is room for expansion.

It works as a vignette, however for a story it would need more of a plot arch.

Thanks for sharing, and keep writing!

Review of Hidden Witness  Open in new Window.
Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
Hello Purple,

This poem is very dramatic and charged with energy and emotion. I see nothing that needs to be fixed, although the ending seems to come mid- thought and the reader is left hanging. You could resolve that but even if you don't it still reads well.

Thanks for sharing, and keep writing!

Hello Vanishing Vapor,

This is a great poem! I like the diction and how it tells a story. It would make a great song if you set it to music.

The rhythm in the third and fourth stanzas could be tweaked a little but otherwise I see nothing to fix or improve.

Great job, and congrats on the win!

Review of Payback  Open in new Window.
Rated: 13+ | (4.0)
Hello Purple Princess, PM here to review your story.

It's a good start. The diction is good, however I think you could build on it more. It ends mid thought and doesn't have a resolution. Also it has a lot of telling as opposed to showing.

Despite this, it has potential. With a little more work it could be a great story.

Thanks for sharing, and keep writing!

Review of Morning  Open in new Window.
Rated: E | (4.0)
Hello Jacky, PM here to review your story.

It's touching and sad, but well written. It is mostly told rather than shown and there is room to expand if the contest's word limit allows. The first sentence is a sentence fragment.

It's still a good story. Thanks for sharing!

Hello Happy to Write,

This is a profound and beautiful piece. I agree with the message.

Just a couple of edits:

"that" in the middle of the third paragraph should be capitalized.

"They're" in the fifth paragraph should be "their".

Still a great piece! Thanks for sharing!

Hello Macklin Freemark, PM here to review your story.

I like it. I like how the protagonist grows and changes from his experiences.

The only edit I have is that it is mostly told rather than shown. Instead of saying facts about the characters I would suggest showing them through action and dialouge.

It is still a great story, though. Thanks for sharing!

Review of A letter home  Open in new Window.
Rated: E | (4.5)
Hello Sumojo, PM here to review your piece.

It sounds very authentic. I like the POV and how well written it is. I don't see anything that needs to be fixed, although it might read easier if you broke it up into paragraphs with spaces between them.

Good job!

Hello,

This is cool. I wonder about random stuff like this too.

It's called a hamburger because it originated in Hamburg, Germany. Has nothing to do with what is on it.

Thanks for sharing!

Hello Winchester Jones,

This is a strong, dramatic piece. It seems to end a little suddenly. I am curious about what happens to Lottie.

It is very well written. Aside from maybe expanding it I see nothing to fix.

Review of Growing up  Open in new Window.

Hello Azot, PM here to review your story,

Welcometo W.Com! Please let me know if there's anything I can help you with.

Your story is profound and well written. I have just a couple of suggestions:

I would recommend putting spaces between paragraphs to make it easier on the eyes.

I would also put the plant's words in quotation marks.

it's still a great story! Thanks for sharing!
