READERS'
REVIEWS
"Excellent, description of
what love is. I love the Imagery -- quite stunning. This story is well written and the
theme tends to happen quite a bit in real life. Is this a true story? I hope so because
the way you describe everything is incredible. I like the way you keep Julie in the
"picture" in the story... It is a very good take on a life long topic" --
Sean Hargrea, Joliet, Illinois, USA
"It was good but too predictable, I knew from the start the
ending. Plus you need to stick with one way of speaking" -- Amy Woodruff, USA
"Although its predictable, it's nice. You should be careful
with your sentence structure. I would like to read more things that you post (too bad you
only have the one)." -- Reuben Gregg Brewer, New York, New York, USA
"A nice story, but the writer needs to get past the cliched
descriptions. The experience is one many of us has had, but the point is to make it seem
unique, which this story does not do. There is potential here, with more rewriting."
-- Anthony
"Well I can tell that this piece is quite descriptive, all the
senses were stimulated. I like the story not because of mechanics or structure but for
what it stands for. Remember that when you read this -- it's happened to me and my
wife." -- Graham
"A little bit too predictable but otherwise a good
story." -- Scott Secrest
""...crisp autumn air was
biting at my exposed skin like a wild squirrel that just found a nut", how whimsical!
I think this is one of your most effective sentences and your story of young love is an
honest one... keep honing your writing technique, the world needs more sensitive and
insightful writers like you." -- Joan
"Very predictable, considering I
lived this event in my own life, but very well written and interesting." -- Kate,
Florida, USA
"This short story was very well
written. I really enjoyed reading it! I new what was about to happen, although
you kept the suspense up. That may be one reason why I kept reading on. I
really like to read love stories and this story reminded me of my own experience.
While reading I could imagine the date, julie, and the students walking into school.
I must say that you created good imagery!! Nice job!!! I hope you write
another great story. I am just curious is this story true?" -- Melissa, Normal,
Illinois, USA
"I have loved the same guy for a
year and half. I can't believe I still haven't told him. I guess you know how I feel. This
story was very descriptive, and very well written. Don't ever stop writing!" --
Kathryn Ralistonne, Hunt Valley, Maryland, USA
"How did you not know it was
Julie? Was the punch spiked?" -- Harry |

Burnt Out |
AUTHOR
P D Woo |
DESCRIPTION
I know it says that this is a "vampire story" and yes,
there are vampires in it, but this story was born when I hit a rut in my writing life... I
really was burnt out. I hope not to spoil the ending (if it's spoil-able) but the
child who appears in the end represents the little kid in me who's always wanted to write.

"You wrote this when you were burnt
out? I want to read what you've written at your peak! Very good, and I usual
don't read horror stories." -- Jane |

The Way It Ends |
AUTHOR
Frederick
Espina |
DESCRIPTION
A short story about a guy who through rehab realizes what he
had. I tried to write about how he felt during the time he had with her. It is a
reflective piece that shows regret, feeding resentments and that its never too late. Keep
hope alive and never let your heart lose. [1,500 words] |
READERS'
REVIEWS
"You need to spell check and watch
your grammar. I’m not perfect either, but try putting the story down for a day or two
and then read it again — most of your mistakes will jump right out at you. You also
need to watch how you use past and present tense. I sound like a jerk, but the way you
wrote took away from the story (which was cute)." -- Reuben Gregg Brewer, New York,
New York, USA |

that." -- Reuben Gregg Brewer, New York, New York, USA

had." -- E. A. Chatham, Lawrenceville, Georgia, USA
