If you would like a review, just ask!
I am always looking for good new books to read. Suggestions are welcome!
I have been re-publishing pieces quite a lot recently and I was wondering if anyone finds that annoying? Because I can stop.
Please, please, feel free to start up a conversation or debate in the comment section of any of my pieces. There is nothing I like more than intellectual discussion.

Wonderful piece. People don;t write about the pleasant parts of being alone enough and it was really cool to hear your perspective.

The Death Clock Draft 2/ Chapters 1-3

That was a fun read! I am seriously impressed you managed to create a whole plot in a couple pages. If I tried that I would fail epically. Most of my comments were just small suggestions to make the story bit clearer. Great job!

On words I thought you could cut, most of the time I just wrote "cut". I didn't mean this to sound authoritarian. I was just being lazy:)

Happy birthday and sorry it feels so grim. Fifteen is a hard one, and it must be even harder in the midst of a pandemic. It does give life to some beautiful poetry though, wonderful job!

Beautiful poem. You have a very unique voice. I found some of the phrasing slightly awkward, but only slightly. And I wouldn't smooth it out too much, because the non-sequeter feel invites a reader to take a closer look:)

At first I found the formatting a little overwhelming, but I actually think that was the point and it ended up really working.
