Dear Writer's Block
"I love this. It is beautifully written and I have no criticisms to give. I wish I'd read it sooner. "
Bravo
"You nailed it. Ah, the distraction of reading - guilty. But, someone told me good writers are good readers, the justification I needed. The piece was so well written I couldn't stop reading - see my story is waiting and I'm reading. A perfect written piece that defines the syndrome without preaching. To say I loved the article would be an understatement. Thanks."
An old Englishman
"Hey there! I really enjoyed this piece! It was hard to get into at first---I didn't understand why you chose some of the words you did---but after a while, those words choices made it for me. I went back and read through the first few sentences again, and it clicked. There was a flow that definitely made you sound like an old Englishman (that part made me laugh) and your alliteration really kept the story moving. I liked how you described the way "Writer's Block" just didn't fit you anymore; he couldn't stay because he let you read, and continue to read even though that was his downfall. It was very imaginative! Keep doing what you're doing!"
Cleverness Chases Away The Woes
"This is a day brightener for me. Anybody who has lived through the dreaded writer's block understands how it destroys not just a writer's confidence, but the life of a story itself. The good news is this piece demonstrates that creative people will eventually overcome the block. A fun, enjoyable read."
Super Funny
"Eve, This was really funny and enjoyable! I enjoyed that you wrote a letter to Writer's Block, I think that writer's should read your letter because we can all relate to it. I found that how you wrote to the letter made writer's block seem more as a person instead of a 'thing' that is not exactly there."
Well-Written, Witty, and Relatable
"This was a fun read, one very well-crafted with excellent diction and semantics. This writer knows their stuff! I'm hard pressed to find any criticisms and finding it just as hard to choose a favorite part of this piece, although this line is certainly up there: "I'm sure you'd have admirable qualities much to be desired by one who resides in an environment in which independent thought is discouraged. Which, again, includes nobody I can personally recommend". I love the way this sentiment is written, and that is just a taste of what this short but poignantly amusing piece has to offer. If you've ever had writer's block, you'll want this piece in letter form so that you can deliver it yourself next time!"
Be out there!
"She tells him like it is! She brushes off a parasitic relationship and, with it, the impediments to future progress. Now, without doubting herself, she needs to put her head down and her tail up and pour out those captured plots into binary code. You go girl!"
Straight 5 stars!
"Hey, nice job! This is very clever and amusingly ironic. The writing style was just grand and the tone added much to the "formal to the point of comedy" style. I sincerely hope you place in this contest!!"
