Heya Liz, Lizz, Ms.Gilmore, whatever you want to be called just pick one for the sake of this review. Anyway, I'm here to do a review for you.

The first thing I noticed about this was that it's out of order. This is the fourth journal entry, yet it's the second chapter. And that felt a little odd to be, but I could see why this was the fourth place holder in this folder. Anyway, onward.
Anyway, the next thing is the phrasing again. It's just way too sophisticated for me to get into it. And after several talks with you I do know that you don't talk like this on a day to day basis. So I would think you've put some thought into it. Good, you're showing us that you can write in a style that isn't natural to you. But I find that it doesn't really work here, and that you should make your character seem a bit more easy to relate to. If you get what I'm trying to say, I mean. Anyway, onward.
The next thing is your character. Your narrator seems a bit.. Well, bland. And I think I'm getting that because your character is so sophisticated and mature, I guess I would say. Anyway, yeah that's all I have on that.
Your plot is decent, I just feel you could have executed it a bit better than it was.

Anyway, that's all I have to say on this one and I hope it helped.

Keep on doing what you're doing and keep on keeping on.

Your battle partner, Crowley

Hey Mr. Holmes didn't get his oatmeal! Haha this was really good and I like it because you put a lot of humor into this. I didn't see any misspellings but I will check again. I feel like I could connect to the characters and you did really well on that too. It was good description in it and I like that.

Anyways,
Keep writing!

Poor Mr. Holmes. He didn't get his oatmeal! How cruel of you, author.

I feel that this would make a very exceptional journal novel, if you've ever read one--I'm thinking the Wimpy Kid Diaries or the sort. Packed with a lot of humor, private jokes, and always full of stories to tell. However, if you were to make something of that sort, I suggest giving this information in the beginning and commencing with the adventures later on when the readers have caught the gist of what you're trying to say.

I'm interested in the format of the short adventure you had in the ending. I could see it being played around a bit, as in every chapter is just the author rambling about their day before commencing onto a strange story of the same nature. It would make a fun section, if you asked me, but that's just my opinion.

Where did Isaac come up? I don't think I've read too deeply about him, but I wished I did. He sounds like a fantastic character, a sane foil for the rest of the cast (or something of the sort). Can't wait to read more about him.

Still, I am sort of iffy about some things, such as why the author suggests in the beginning that she knows people are reading about her. You never specify from the beginning that she's writing on a blog or anything of the sort, so it becomes confusing later on when details like that show up. And again, this was information that came a little too late. It didn't come off too info-dumpily though, as I was mildly amused by it, but it may just be me.

So far I like it. Could use a lot of work, but with some tender love and care this can embrace its humorous and fun-loving side to become a very good companion.

Signing out,

--EM.
