Awesome job with the descriptions. You do a pretty good job of adding visuals without being to heavy with it. I could almost feel like I was there watching her, so that is very well done. You also did a good job leaving that mystery going, who is the "he" and so on and so forth. The only thing I noticed that stood out to me was the use of siesta. I would use something different here. It just does not fit with the rest of the descriptive words, and gives a different feeling. At least in my min...
As there are so many pages I am going to write what I see as I see it, so stick with me. So far there dont seem to be many errors. Sometimes it seems a little bare of detail, but it is not to bad. page 4- The storm moves in awfully fast, unnaturally so, but maybe it is supposed to. Page 5- "he’d die with in hours. " it should be within. More detail on Caspian might be good. Page 6- I would not use the word 'coronary' as many people will not know what it is at first. You would be surprised at ...

Crime, Thrillers & Mystery / Under the Twisted Oak Chapter 3
I really enjoyed reading this. I liked the tone you had set and the voice you used in the narrative. It gave it a believable feeling. Good job, many writers have trouble with a "personal" voice rather than just an outside narrative. I really want to read more. There were a couple of things I saw and thought I would point them out to you. "She and Trulee loved trying out new ways for cooking anything." at the end of that I would probably change 'for' to 'of' Page two - "we all walk inside the ...

Short Story / Crocodile Teeth
Page 1- "The knowledge that he knew something they didn’t?" I wouldn't put a question mark there. Possible a semi colon if you want it emphasis the word 'intoxicating'. Page 2- "Weaver opened the heavy oak door with a grunt and stepped in the tavern," I would change 'in' to 'into' to be more grammatically correct. "A few there that night, though not as many as a weekend would bring." -there were a few there...maybe? All through-out the story you could use more detail about what was happening ...
Short Story / Skin City Part 2
Good story! Well written and had a very interesting plot. The end is a little confusing though. I had trouble puzzling it out, with the lady and the thousand bucks. I might suggest on some how making it a little more clearer, though now that I know what you meant, it seems perfectly fine. Either way, awesome job on the story and well written.
Great job! That was amazingly creative in a way, taking a story from the bible and filling the gaps. This was well done and very good. It looked as if you did a little research to do things right, so good job on that. There were a few spelling mistakes here and there that you might want to go through and correct. Maybe a little more filler detail as well in a few places, but other than that nothing came to mind. I think this is one of my favorites. Great job!!
Crime, Thrillers & Mystery / Chapter 1
You have a good start here. I would probably make chapter one a little bit longer and adding more to it, stretching things out to make the reader feel it. You have a confusing beginning here, just leaping into the middle of things, sometimes this works, but with the lack of anything going on it does not work so well. Maybe I would fill out the dream a little more, adding more detail, talk about the marks on her back, what do they look like? Do they sting? Burn? Is her back covered from previo...
Short Story / "Orpheus and Son"
Good story. You have a pretty great plot idea here and I liked the story idea. There were a handful of things that I noticed that I would suggest to you. First off, you have Michael "falling in love" yet you portray him, in my mind, as nothing more than a small child. Much to small for that. I would tweak things and make him a bit older, probably mid to late teens. You also don't say anything about his parents. It might be good to have a line in there saying he lived with his grandfather beca...
Poetry / Louise Bryant
That is really good. I read through it once before reading the notes and thought it might have been a lover, but then reading the notes really clarified. You manage to pack a lot of stuff into this one tiny poem, which is really good. You dont drag it out with detail. Good job.
That was well written. I liked reading it. It seemed a little bit long though, and sometimes it seemed less poetry and more just your own thoughts. I dont think I would suggest you change that, in this case it seems to be okay, but when writing poetry we must be careful not to run with dialogue or story in a poetry format.
