Thanks.

Beth Ollis never took her future seriously until her sister Kaylee was diagnosed with HCM, a disease that would most likely kill her at a young age. Now, Kaylee will never meet the One, and it scares Beth to think she might end up with the same fate. In order to avoid that completely, Beth tries to find love in just about every possible place, only to realize it doesn't work that way.
Beth must go on a heartbreaking journey to learn that there is no reason to go searching for love - it will come to you.
Please put your comments on the story, not here please

Hi Olleh! I took a quick look at all of them for you.
-The Evacuation: The opening section is a little rough, be carful with your tenses. Also, try to include a little more background information because not all readers have the same knowledge (why is 1930 important? and where is Belfast?). Other than that though it just looks like you need to read it out loud to fix some fluidity issues, as this is a diary it should flow when you read it out loud (also this will help you catch in errors). You are headed in the right direction though :)
-I like hamsters...:
Very cute little poem. It has a nice rhyming pattern that makes things light and fun, but towards the end you slant rhymed carefully and clumsily, and I think this throws the reader off a bit because the rest of it is so nicely rhymed. Also, you have a nice rhythm going but towards the center/ end it gets a little off and this disrupts the flow.
-Humorous Limericks:
This one was nice to read, a silly and goofy poem. One thing to note though, you may want to go back and read though it out loud and check your rhymes. I'm not sure how you are pronouncing Niger but the way I have heard it said it doesn't rhyme with tiger because the sounds the -er ending makes are different.

Sean, I didn't read all of it, just the first couple chapters. It seems disjointed in places and the beginning confused me. I understand we went back in time from it but it was odd, if that makes sense? You seem to have a good direction, but the way you phrase things makes the writing choppy and slightly confusing in places. I am not the best at comma usage so I can't say exactly where they should go; however, I would pay special attention to this when you write, as your readers will pause slightly at commas and this can make things confusing. Nice idea overall though!

I took a look at the first chapter (as if I sat down and read the entirety of every work that got posted here you guys wouldn't get feedback asap). This seems to have great direction and I am interested in reading more. However, the way you described him waking up was odd. If his eyes were closed, how did sweat fall into them? Also, try to describe more of his surroundings clearly. Formatting wise you need to separate out the dialogue (for one it makes it easier to read and two, it makes it clearer who is speaking). I would read though it out loud (so you will hear where things don't flow/make sense). Another thing, in the summary of your piece you have she in there instead of he. Good luck and thanks for posting your piece here!

Yeah i just cut and pasted it out of the word document i have it in and it did not carry over the formatting i had set for the dialogue. Thanks for the feedback, i really appreciate it.

Ah, yes Microsoft Word and the ŷ posts here are two different programs so the formatting won't carry over. However, you can look at the (some html is ok) link and then reformat your work here so it looks the same as it does in your word document.

Thanks :)"
I read though your piece and then the comments already posted. I don't think there is much to change as the things I would comment on Lizze already brought up and you dealt with. There are a couple of places that aren't as fluid as I would prefer, but I believe this is your writing style and not an actual error. However, I would read the piece out loud (and even backwards, as that really makes you think) to double check for mistakes.

Hi Shlomo! We Mods are currently participating in NaNoWriMo (check it out here: ). My brain is on overload right now and I don't want to give you a bad critique, so unless someone else comes a long this is going to have to wait till the end of November, sorry about that.

No worries at all. I was thinking whether I should put up the post within Nanowrimo folder, but I remembered this would be relevant place.
Anyways, I'm also participating in NaNoWriMo and I only wondered if anyone interested would give me a feedback on what I wrote. I'm still good with post November, unless there are any non-Nanowrimos over here.

Where the mind bears the realization of the effect of its own selfish desires, a light within the intension to cause only good, begins to manifest. Physically it is felt running through the body, arching at toes and finger tips, fluxing over the curvature of the eye, jumping upon the surface of the skin. As the feeling of that desire to show love and no more, wells up from within. A calm coherence of gentle emotion pours over the mind, entering a place inside that believes in no end. This knowing of awareness, which only faith in love and truth can cause to arise, is the only true worth in the existence that is or will ever be. Once in it, I am sorry for every selfish thought, that I was too weak to keep enclosed. From which actions, not forged in the emotion of this light, have furthered the darkness through which each of us suffers. As only when interacting from within the purity of love, does the world truly know life.
