Review by StephBee

In affiliation with The WDC Angel Army

Rated: 18+

| (5.0)

My review is based on professional editing points. It is meant to be honest, encouraging, and respectful in accordance with WDC guidelines.

THE STORY

Our narrator gets a lot of door-to-door sales people.

WHAT I LIKED

I enjoyed the light comedic tones and the ending was perfect for the story.

POV NARRATION/TENSE

This is told in the 1st person by an unnamed narrator. Past tense is used in the story.

DIALOGUE

The dialogue drives the story. The dialogue tags were appropriate.

OPENING PARAGRAPH

The opening paragraph put me right in the action, answering the door along with our narrator. Well done. It engaged me as a reader.

CHARACTERS

Our unnamed narrator who is a generous soul.

FLOW & PACING

It was spot on. There was a solid beginning, middle, and end to his compact vinyette.

MECHANICS

I did not notice and spelling/punctuation mistakes. Good use of WDC ML to increase the font.

Review of In Amelo

Review by StephBee

In affiliation with The WDC Angel Army

Rated: ASR | N/A (Review only item.)

My review is based on professional editing points. It is meant to be honest, encouraging, and respectful in accordance with WDC guidelines.

THE POEM

The poem was about a fictional continent on Earth that's a little rough around the edges.

WHAT I LIKED

I appreciated the world building, which is never easy. I had a good sense of what Amelo was like.

STRUCTURE

This is a poem with 4 quatrains a different rythme scheme in each stanza. If anything, my suggestion would be to make the rythme scheme consistent such as AABB or ABAB.

MECHANICS

I did not spot any spelling/punctuation mistakes.

DESCRIPTIONS

I liked: Where plantations make a country rich," The description is simple and allows for a good visual. The word plantation harkens back to the US Civil War and I thought of something out of Gone with the Wind. It also evokes an uneasy or uncertain emotional response, and implies that Amelo might not be such a great place.

PARTING THOUGHTS/SUGGESTIONS

The opening has a nice flow and invites the reader to keep reading. This is something that is definitely the spark of an idea that can fleshed out.

Review of The Phone Call

Review by StephBee

In affiliation with Steph Bee's Bee Hive

Rated: E

| (4.5)

My review is based on professional editing points. It is meant to be honest, encouraging, and respectful in accordance with WDC guidelines.

THE STORY

Sandy has a vibe that her best friend, Ted, may like her more than she wants him to.

WHAT I LIKED

I liked the twist on the boat when Sandy thought Ted was going to ask her out.

POV NARRATION/TENSE

This is told in the 3rd person ominiscent. Past tense is used in the story.

DIALOGUE

The dialogue accents the narration.

OPENING PARAGRAPH

The opening paragraph sets up the scenario for the reader and establishes Sandy's expectations.

CHARACTERS

Sandy is very forthright about her expectations when it comes to Ted. No dates. In that regard she's pleasantly surprised.

FLOW & PACING

The flow and pacing told the story well, though the ending felt a tad rushed.

MECHANICS

I did not notice and spelling/punctuation mistakes. My only suggestion would be you only need to write "suddenly" once.

PARTING THOUGHTS

The title sets up what's to come - what comes out of a phone call? The author uses a good economy of words to set up the scene. For the ending I might say in their late twenties or early 30's. I think that's when people start to settle down a bit. Overall, a good vinyette that tells a sincere story.

Review by StephBee

In affiliation with Bard's Hall Group

Rated: E

| (4.5)

My review is based on professional editing points. It is meant to be honest, encouraging, and respectful in accordance with WDC guidelines.

THE BLOG

"June 25 Blog Entries for the Bard's Hall," engaged the Bard's Hall Blogging Challenge by documenting the author's insights and everyday life with a sense of humor.

WHAT I LIKED

Humor is a great way to tell a story. It keeps people engaged and there's a hint of smile and a light touch of laughter with every entry, even when the entry has a bit of a serious note to it.

ENGAGING

The blog was written in a very conversational tone which made it easy to engage with.

VARIETY

There was a nice mix of observations from family life to everyday life.

EXPRESSIVE

The blog was easy to read and unique to the blogger. I really enjoyed the Broadzilla entry. That one had me in stitches. Best name for a car EVER.

MECHANICS

I did not spot any spelling/punctuation mistakes. If anything, I might suggest increasing the font of WDC, because reading a size 3 can be a strain for us who used glasses and I might also suggest spacing between the paragraphs.

PARTING THOUGHTS

The introduction does a good job of setting the tone for the overall blog, but I'd like to see it be a tad more inviting with maybe a giphy or a couple of quotes, some WDC ML like increasing the font size or color. A warm hearted blog that doesn't blather.

Rated: 13+

| (4.0)

My review is based on professional editing points. It is meant to be honest, encouraging, and respectful in accordance with WDC guidelines.

THE STORY

A soldier gets lost in the desert and needs water.

WHAT I LIKED

I thought the second paragraph built suspense well and often I didn't know what was real and what was an hallucination.

POV NARRATION/TENSE

This is told in the 1st person by an unnamed narrator. Past tense is used appropriately to tell the story.

DIALOGUE

There is no dialogue used.

OPENING PARAGRAPH

The opening paragraph put me right in the moment with the narrator - a bit out of sorts due to a lack of water and only getting worse.

CHARACTERS

Our unnamed narrator seemed very determined to find water despite the obstacles. That sense of drive is something that a lot of readers can relate to.

FLOW & PACING

The lack of water does a good job accelerating the pacing, tension, and suspense.

MECHANICS

I did not notice and spelling/punctuation mistakes.

PARTING THOUGHTS

The title is simply "Water," which is the topic of the story, and it allows for the reader to let the emotional beats drive the story. The ending offers a satisfactory resolution to the story.

It's a nice description that one can not only visualize, but allows the reader to feel the emotion as well.

I liked: "To not have you near is so unreal." This description really touches to the heart of romantic emotion, tapping into longing, desire, need, using colloquial speech.

PARTING THOUGHTS/SUGGESTIONS

The opening engages the reader in an opposite way, and turns like a boomerang to keep the reader interested. The title fits the poem well. Nice word play.

My review is based on professional editing points. It is meant to be honest, encouraging, and respectful in accordance with WDC guidelines.

THE POEM
An observation of crows.

WHAT I LIKED

I thought this was an interesting observation of the dynamics of scavenger birds.

STRUCTURE

This is free form poem. The last line has a light hearted rythme.

MECHANICS

I did not spot any spelling/punctuation mistakes. The poem is easy to read and has a good flow when read out loud.

DESCRIPTIONS

I liked: "flap those wings look for shiny things" It's a nice, easy description that helps to set a scene in the reader's mind and stirs a sense of curiosity.

PARTING THOUGHTS/SUGGESTIONS

The opening engages the reader, with a lighthearted invitation to eat, and keeps them reading. The title helps to add context to the poem. Easy expression makes the author wonder about what those birds are up to.
