 spotted.paw 2006-02-09 . chapter 1first off ... y'know, starting out with 'i don't think my own work is very good' is ... not very good. doesn't put your readers in the best mood. and isn't overly respectful of your readers' opinions. no justifications needed, you post, you get criticism. you could just say you're interested in opinions. because that's what you are, since you're posting the drabble here.
anyway, a review. i liked the mindset of this. how the scene in the bar was repeated, with only one slight but drastic change. the focus on the significance of one single word - no ... or yes. good soul searching there. it could have used more detail, some more depth. but i'm not sure if it was required to not write more than 500 words.
'As Ennis settled in next to Jack, he returned the smile, heart pounding.
Yes.'
loved that very much. sets the mood nicely. and really pretty. very simple, but very effective.
so yes, it's good. but that's just my opinion. hehe. |
