  • Short Story » General, General Re: Something Rotten

    Well written. I enjoyed it very much. Your tone is appropriate and your descriptions are spot-on. Now for the flip side: Your paragraphs are very dense and difficult to navigate. ...

    Well, hopefully I'll offer a more critical view of your work. Like the fact that your parents could care less about you and what you do. They weren't always like ...

    You don't need that end bit there where you've explained all. If you wrote your story well enough, then you don't need to tell us the moral of the story, ...

    It's true, your rhymes are a little more unique and interesting. I enjoyed the slant rhyme of believed and need. However, your overall theme is delivered about as vague as ...

    I'm glad the story has a happy ending. And that happy ending is? Toilet paper. And silverware. That made me laugh because it's so very true. You set the mood ...
