I liked how you mentioned things which were typically a shade of blue (like the wind and the sky) and created some action within it. I especially liked the last line - I thought it was brilliant! I think the layout is very pretty as well, you have a lovely talent with drabbles.
The only thing is, I think it's against the sites rules to post drabbles/one-shots into one large story, that's what the collection is for so this may be against the site rules, I'd check that if I were you.
I read each and every one. Each having its own unique feel, but my favourite would have to be 16 and 8. I adore the feeling of the story. The title is beautiful, suiting well with the layout. I really love your writing. I'm quiet jealous to say so. It’s very magnificent and beautiful. I’m subscribing. :)
i read the first one and omg it was absolutely adorable so cute, had that summery, almost dreamy kind of feel to it. it was adorably cute, and I love it.
I read chapter two. It was beautiful. She chose to express what she was feeling internally with nail polish of the color that matched her mood. Usually, I'd expect some sort of self-harm, (not bashing or insulting, mind you), or perhaps some sort of self-started disease. But I like how she chose art, instead. How it represented something that we all have to feel at one point or another in our lifetime, and it was so elequent in the way it was depicted. I'll be reading some of your other works.
In the great quilt that is life, not every stitch can be the pinnacle of perfection. There will be faults.
I really liked this line. It is, in my opinion, a perfect opening line to the drabble. It really captures a sense of how life isn't perfect. Although there were only two paragraphs, both showed a lot. This drabble really captured the emotion of the person.
I really loved the ending. I wasn't expecting anything like that, and it was kind of perfect. Actually, it even managed to make me giggle a little. My only suggestion is really small, and not so much a mistake as a matter of taste. You put: But you know what. Personally I think And you know what. flows better, but eh . . . it's brilliant either way.
I loved the beginning and description. I loved those toy cars and the ledge. Yet there was something at the ending that tickled me the wrong way. I have no idea what. Maybe it's the repetition of words, maybe it's the unhappy ending, I don't know, 'though I still think it is a really good piece. Thank you for entering my contest.
Saul Hudson Thank you so much! I appreciate you reading even one. take a chance ; Please do! Happy to help. :) the last sunset I'll try. I love to write them, so it's not much of a struggle. ;) That one is one of my favorites as well. Thanks for reading.
hey, i read these, and they're really good! i just have a question. would you mind if i took the idea where you put all your drabbles in one story? i'm sick of posting a new layout and story when i create a new drabble.
would that count as stealing? or just borrowing your idea?
I truly believe that, with a bit of more effort, you can use your imagination and wonderful technique of writing to write an actual novel; a novel that has meaning and soul. You obviously know how to write, thank goodness for that. :) Keep up the fantastic work.
@Kindred Spirits: Yeah, I know about the summary thing. I had a hard time deciding what to write since nothing is related so I sorta just gave up. :) Also, thanks a lot for commenting and I appreciate you sharing your view. :)
@ everyone else. Aw, thanks guys. :) I do my best.
