  • Poetry » Narrative, General Re: Sade's Folly

  • Short Story » General, General Re: The Witness

    Try breaking up the text a bit more... I noticed that there was a space between two larger blocks of text; if you're trying to make chapters, maybe separate those ...

  • Short Story » Romantic, General Re: Midnight Flight

    I think this story is very well written; there isn't much there that isn't necessary. The only thing I would change would be to take out the final repetition of ...

  • Poetry » Lyrical, General Re: Les Eurockeennes de Belfort; or: The Five Senses

    One of the first things I'd reccomend would be to space things out a little more. I can see why some lines would be left as full sentences (such as ...

  • Poetry » Lyrical, General Re: I'm no Superhero

    I liked the rhyme scheme, especially when it fits so well with your word choice; I thought it gave a sense of weightlessness in the first part, and in the ...

  • Poetry » Lyrical, General Re: Sorrow

    I liked the description, especially the bit about sand. I don't know if this was purposeful or not, but the word "I" is inconsistantly capitalized, so just pointing that out. ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: What Held It All Together: A Metered Poem

    I like the idea for the syllabal count, but I'm not quite sure it has the desired effect because I could only really appreciate it after I read the note ...

  • Poetry » Lyrical, General Re: Confused

    This might be a strange way to begin a review, but this poem just seemed so self-contained. What I mean by this is that no additional content is needed to ...

  • Poetry » Lyrical, General Re: The Horror of Insanity

    I think this is a nice little poem. I liked the first half especially: they made me feel like I was in a room where the walls were closing in. ...

  • Short Story » Action / Adventure, General Re: The Rural Ruins

    I like the idea you have, but you haven't given much description about where Drake and Vanessa are, so I'm a little confused; paragraph spacing would be helpful as well. ...

  • Article / Essay » General, General Re: How To Write A Novel

    This made me laugh. Alot. I especially liked the part about "sweet inspiration" although you can totally daydream during gym class. The more often you get hit in the head ...

  • Article / Essay » Review, General Re: Lord of The Rings or Harry Potter?
