Reviews For: A Self Tour

This is really very interesting. I swear, you don't see much stuff like this in FP everyday, or is it just me?
What I loved most in this piece are the little italicized sentences there before each room... cuz it's something like, advice or words of wisdom to me. Especially the last one. xD Pardon my weirdness.
Everything is in lowercase. It should look so wrong, but the piece is about your mind, so... Good job!!

That was mystifying... Interesting, but mystifying.. XD

Thanks for the review. My turn :]
I like the style. It's really good for being an English assignment. There's a lot of refrain but I think it works in showing some sort of confusion. Well done!

RM Prize.

This is purposely all in lower case? Looks like a play with formatting too :P

Sounds a little like a talk show - perhaps a little humor too. Unless you wanted to flow all in one line, it felt a little like just a single thought running all the way - I mean the style and manner it was written just made it feel like it should be read in one go non-stop.

Interesting, but personal anyway. I think we can all have our own concept of our minds. I never imagined it would be that way. One question - why does the tour cost an arm and leg? Sounds scary.

Very interesting topic to write about...although I'm unsure how "never lose the will to smile" fits in with the piece as a whole. I like it as a sentence, and maybe I missed something that allows it to tie into the bigger picture. Anyway, I really enjoyed this!

I liked the concept. It makes you think and want to look into your own mind. Maybe see what you can find in there. Though the format confused me. Wasn't quite sure if it was prose or poetry. And there were several repetitive phrases. Though I'm sure it's acceptable in poetry. But repeating the same phrase 3 times to me is overkill. But that's just my opinion. All in all good job.

I rather enjoyed the self indulgence in this piece...if you don't mind me saying.
If you don't mind me asking, I'd love to know how closely you looked at your mind to write this. Personally, I don't know enough about myself to open up my mind to visitors.

The people you refer to in your heart really intrigued me, especially the capitalisation of Him, I was thinking God in the conventional sense of the word...but I'm not sure. The T-shirt exercise, well you have the mind of a writer, that's perfectly obvious.

All in all, I though it was an interesting piece of prose, I liked the arm and a leg joke, and while I thought the italics might jar on me after a while, it added nicely to the overall look and theme of the piece, after all the human mind is far from uniform

Tis very interesting. It's almost as if, were I a certain type of psychic and looked at you, I would get this tour. I don't think that the bolded words do much for the sentences that they're in, but it's interesting that they are 'heart' and 'mind' everywhere in the piece. Tis prose-poetry, flowing a little too much, but I didn't mind the wierd rhythm and punctuation as I got into the narrative. Good.
