i hate poetry. i occasionally find a poem i like -that's the exception. you may ask me to review your poetry, but be prepared to be rejected. audy is still waiting for her poetry review january 2013: it's been four months.
i feel comfortable with: short stories and novels.
i hate romance as a focal point. i will review romance, but be prepared for a critical analysis of character development, any and all sappy moments, and a demand for realism.
look at my samples. my reviews are in depth, meticulous, and i rarely will say if i liked the piece or not. i will admit to, "this was a nice moment" and then proceed to suggest how to refine that nice moment.
simply put, i am a butcher. i hack the fat off.
the metaphorical fat would be superfluous details, unnecessary words, scenes that don't serve character or plot development, and so on.
until there's nothing, but compact muscle. i'll make suggestions on what you can do with that slab of meat -not all cuts of meat are made equal.
the metaphorical cuts of meat would be genres, short stories, novels, and poems.
delving into the idea of genres, fantasy requires world building; romance requires character development.
ultimately, my reviews are only suggestions. you decide if you want to heed it, if my points are valid, or if any disagreements are stylistic choices. i am minimalistic in style -i don't care for extraneous words (i am very picky about word choice due to connotations), details, or scenes.
you must really want a review from me if you've gotten this far.
comments: i am seeking your general style or i would like you to specifically focus on (this scene, character development, and so on), or i am struggling with ___.
synopsis: genre. format (short story, poem, novel.)

102 resources for fiction touches on: writers: character, point of view, dialogue, plot, conflict, structure, outline, setting, world building, ideas, inspiration, revision, tools, and software.
comments: I have dug this piece out from the past and need to get a clear view of what it needs again. Of course, this is just the first part and the rest isn't posted yet, but this should be enough to get an idea of the piece.
synopsis: Yo, you know, this focuses on character development, but I wouldn't call it a romance. It's part one of a short story.
you can message me with anything: questions, review requests, rants are you a green room knight yet? have you read this week's Squills?
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root
and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky
of a treee called life; which grows higher than the soul can home
or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
