Just as the title says.***If you’re writing I’m reading.***

Okay so there are a lot of people on the site who are crying that no on is reading their work.

Paste a link of your work and I’ll read it.
Don’t expect a lengthy review from me I’ll read and make brief comments and grade your works with stars.

*****- Excellent
****-Very good but needs work done on it.
***_ Needs reconstruction
**_ Go back to the drawing board.
*_ You can’t even write your name.
_ What the hell was this.

RULES
1. One entry only for individual.
2. No more than 1500 words, for short stories (I get bored quickly)
3. I’m only reading the first 15 entries if I’m not too bored I’ll extend.
4. Deadline 15-05-2008

If you're reading then I'd better be writing.

Here's something from my 2006 archives

Bummer. I was going to post one but it's 2000 words. Quoth Maxwell Smart: "Missed it by that much!"

Oh wait, I didn't realize you worked for Matador, Violet. So here's one I was thinking about submitting:

Would be helpful to know if it's ready for prime time or not. Thanks.

I think this is a neat idea.

Here's one I wrote yesterday that I'm aiming toward eventual publication and I'd love some more thoughts on.

Dead Dreams

I entered this into an open prompt contest with a 500 word limit and I am curious to get opinions aout it. This is the first time I have written anything that didn't need broken into chapters, other than poetry.

Your welcome to be honest as you like but please just don't be insulting, I am here to learn.

Thanks Violet. Your feedback is very helpful and I see your point. I'm still new to travel writing so all tips are appreciated.

I don't want to come off as snarky, but have some questions---what are your qualifications to rate others with what appears to be heightened confidence in your own superiority? Are you a teacher/instructor? Do you have any degrees in the craft? Because if not, you can do more harm than good if you're not very careful with your critiques. I was on the receiving end of a ego maniac once. Subsequently, after beginning a professional writing course I discovered the ego-manny was wrong about much. There's being helpful and then there's: "you can't even write your name" and "what the hell was this." Respectfully submitted. wlc
