Dances Alone - Comments

  • I think this is brilliant, I love how short it is and the mystery behind it - why is she dancing alone?
    I like how you link the beginning and end to each other, it's a good technique. You use good language and you create a vivid scene with so little words.
    Great job!

  • Contest:

    I really like the layout. I'm glad you were able to find a background pic to match the actual picture.

    For only your second picture drabble ever, this was really good. I really like where you went with the picture because that's not what I thought when I saw it. It was a nice surprise to see that you took it like that. I like how you described her, like she's in her own world and she's happy. She's happy to be different and not like everyone else in New York.
    I love it. Great job! (}:

  • Another short one, but again, I really like it.
    Even though a specific character was never mentioned, I could totally picture this girl in my mind and almost got a sense of who she is. In a way, I feel like she epitomizes how a lot of us are in real life, in the sense that we try to live for ourselves and no one else. To me, this story really describes a sense of freedom.
    And like I said, I really like that.
    So yeah, job well done on this story, dear. & you better write more soon! <3

  • This is good for being based off a picture. I like how you mentioned her as a shy, New Yorker as opposed to everyone else because it describes me. I could see a girl dancing in my mind while I read this. I really liked it alot and I do apologize for how long it took me to read and comment it.

  • I like the ideas behind this, I'm an avid fan of dancing myself, so I can definitely relate with the idea. The short was story and very to the point; she liked to dance and she wasn't your typical New Yorker. Basically, that's the drabble itself. I'm not sure if there was supposed to be anything other than that, because there is no elaboration or hints to point otherwise. I also noticed that the story and title and chapter title are the same, which looks weird on the layout, as if it accidentally says the name twice. Another thing is the paragraph separation, I'm not sure if that was supposed to be one joint paragraph, or if they're two different ones. Other than that, good job.
