Hi Prier. Congratulations on your 21st Writing.Com Anniversary. As they say, now you're legal.
I'm JACE, and I have the honor of reading and reviewing your offering "The Scar Left of Center" . My review comes to you because of a special edition of this month's "Anniversary Reviews" . We can choose an item from any member who joined WDC within the first five years of existence. Thanks for your support during the early years.
I invite your attention to the comments below. Please bear in mind these notes are from one on the outside looking in; ultimately only you can decide what's right for your story.
Overall Impression. This is one of the best written stories I've read here. I thoroughly enjoyed your ability to "turn a meaningful phrase." Your opening line was exceptional, and really set the tone for your tale.
There are times when I feel like Billy, thinking back on my own life and actually jotting down a memoir or ten for my kids and grandkids to remember me by. I was ten back in the mid-60's and also had to earn whatever I could to scratch some special itch.
I don't know whether this is a true story, but it reads that way. I suppose those are the best tales--we hope it's true but find comfort if it's not.
Technical and Editorial Considerations. In this section I normally list those areas that relate specifically to the mechanics of your writing--punctuation, grammar, spelling, etc.
I found no issues with any technical aspects of your story. Well done.
Favorite Part. Perfect line! This is something I'll use in deciding what I'll share down the road.
Some ideas belong to the boy you were, not the man you became.
My Rating. 5.0.
Thank you for sharing this offering. Please accept these comments as offered in friendship and support. They are but my humble opinion.
