Question of the Day Part 5
mare:
This is a great question! I'm going to have to wait until I'm on my computer to answer because there's a lot of stories I need to go through lol I will say as a general thought, the feedback that sticks with me the most is when people get what I was trying to do or find something insightful that I might not have been going for. There are a lot of people who give awesome feedback! Pammy whammy and Sam are two that immediately come to mind but also a lot of you guys as well. It all makes me smile! :-)

Rose, I am offended that my random rambling reviews for RMTW where I walk out naked, did not make the cut! :( lol
Rose:
LOL Awwww but I loved those too!

Oh no, I know! I just worried that it could be taken as cheesy, so I'm glad you didn't think so. :)

I have three that I was able to narrow it down to.
The first is for a story that's on hold till I rework it. I got it from Julie on my story "Born To Be".
Interesting start! I like it so far... and I'm anxious to read more! I like your use of description and the way you word things, especially in the prologue. Just watch your tenses... you tend to switch tenses, even in mid-sentence, and it takes away from the flow of the writing. But going back to the descriptions, I like the two suns and the purple grass and the blue leaves and everything... how it all mimicks our world, but surreal and just "off."
I like it so much cause it's what really brought my old tense issues to my attention. It's what helped me change my writing cause she was awesome enough to tell me but in a nice way. So because I feel my writing grew a lot at that moment, it's one of my faves lol.

Aww, thanks, Rose! You know I'm not someone who usually dishes out concrit without being asked, but I guess I must have known you would take it the right way. Classic example of just that one element taking away from an otherwise beautifully-written story (in my Grammar Nazi mind, anyway), and the fact that you were able to fix that about your writing has made it flow even more beautifully. I wish everyone would actually listen and learn from things like that when they're pointed out to them!
