![]() ![]() ![]() REWRITING THIS NOW THAT I HAVE AN ACCOUNT :D *Like a Sister is very interesting and is overwhelming with emotion. The writing is very well thought out, and has that edge of must keep reading to it. It is emotional and descriptive with that sense of reality to the wording. This book makes you cry and laugh at times. Though Skyler may rub off to be pathetic, he really is just one of those sweet guys who can't get a break in life. But when all seemed to be at the worst, there was a bit of light shinning through those ever so gray clouds. With the "irritation" comes love and acceptance for pretty much the first time. With this taste of Skyler's life you will be wanting more and more never really feeling satisfied. This is a must read and you will know why once you start. You fall into the life of Skyler and feel right along with him. He will make your eyes swell with tears, and make you sides hurt with laughter. You will feel hope and longing for this ever so shy, awkward, and amazingly sweet character. Follow along with Skyler's journey in life and love him just as all of us end up doing. ~To AnonymousApril: Keep up the amazing work and never give up. Go further and further in your writing career. Love and acceptance is at the end of the road and may not be so far off. Make us fall in love with your characters over and over again. Two words for you AMAZING and SWEET just like Skyler. Good luck! -from your friend and fan- AnonymousLEE* |

![]() ![]() ![]() aw Skyler just can't catch a break, can he? his pathetic freshman awkwardness is really sweet. i must keep reading this and the sequels! |
![]() ![]() ![]() "...she was speechless, but she could still talk though." This made me laugh a lot. Wow, your style is bitchingly awesome. |
![]() ![]() ![]() This is one of the best stories I've ever read! Keep up the good work! One day you may become a real author! |
![]() ![]() ![]() k) My mom and I have a room all to myself This sentence makes no sense. a) All the sudden you started to write a poem. That doesn't work right dude. i) can you figure out what I'm spelling? l) I shall make no comment on the poem itself. Just so you know. a) Who are you writing the poem for? You should say a name instead of 'her' l)I am not going to say anything about your use of the word emo. you should already know what I would say. e) you stop if you're running out of ideas. you don't comprehend how poetry works. m) "It seems messy and random." stick with one tense. don't switch from past and future. i) " "Stacy, can we go to the mall again?" I asked her. "We still have some money left. Your dad thinks we spent it all on Ashley's necklace, but going out tonight, you and me, having a good time, he won't know."" I think you should rephrase the second part. It doesn't sound right. s) don't say "I don't know" twice, it make you sound crazy t)dude, if she's hinting who the fuck cares if she get suspisious? You need some common sense and reasoning skills. e) why were there kissing pictures? r) why are you saying it's part of the plan go with it to getting popcorn? GETTING POPCORN AT THE MOVIES IS A NORMAL THING h) I finished my name. I don't know what I'm spelling now. a)popcorn doesn't give you a stomach ache. you are lame i) it would work better if you were getting more popcorn instead of faking a stomache ache t) who the hell cares if it happens to you? that sounds like a sad movie. i) if romantic shit annoys you, why the hell are you writing this? n) you are overdoing the sister thing g) I still say randomly bringing home a kitten is a bad idea s) I need this letter so, yeah, you are a weird person. hi. ps) The second name is going to be her name after july. just saying. |
![]() ![]() ![]() k)I think the gift thing is stupid. a) can you figure out what I'm spelling? t) ""Well, there's this heart necklace I saw at a jewelry store at the mall. I know Ashley will love it. It's the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, not counting your three girls." I said." That seems like excessively flattery and not really appropriate to say. h) Noah is an idiot. r) you are stupid. you can't bribe people into getting along. it's shallow. It's very very shallowing and it doesn't count for getting a long. It's much better to hate each other honestly than pretend to love each other. y) got what I'm spelling yet) n) ""But I have to pay the money back to you. It just doesn't feel right when someone gives me a lot of money and doesn't want it back you know?" I said." Don't start sentences with but. There should be a comma before "you know" also, it's phrased in an odd way. d) "I will be the best brother I can be." Oh. My. God. You sound like a goddamn five year old. Grow up. n) Five hundred dollars only has two zeros. That really isn't that many. i) ""Why that is very sweet of you to do that." The woman said. "I'm not supposed to do this, but I will knock off two hundred dollars off the price, since it's for a very special someone and I'm very touched."" That would never happen. It's extreamly unrealistic. x) "Oh, stop it. That's embarrassing." I said as I blushed." What the fuck? Dude, no. o) you need to remember that when you put the said Stacy after a quote it's a comma not a period. I've explained this before. n) You randomly bought a kitten without asking permission? That will work out real well, dumbass. |
![]() ![]() ![]() l) I'm picking up from where I left off on the name, just so you know. i) why were you buying Ashely a gift again? It seems kind of random. g) The whole jewelery thing makes Skyler seem a bit gay. 'Course I think everything makes everyone seem gay. Just sayin'. h)once again, think about a word other than irritated. t) why the fuck is Skyler so obsessed with the necklace? I bet you that whatever it is it isn't worth as much. Did you know something that takes a half hour to make and about 3 dollars worth of materials can sell for over 200 dollars. And this is what I learned in jewelry this year. l)Regardless of what you think girls are not completely shallow and can't be won over by jewelery. Not even cheerleaders. |
![]() ![]() ![]() g) I think Skyler's Mom (does she have a name yet?) and Noah's relationship is moving a bit fast. How long were they dating before they got engaged? a) "My mom was engaged with Noah, or should I say, my new stepdad, but not yet." it kind of sounds awkward and I'm 90% sure it's a run on. g) I still think that the Skyler and Ashely thing is totally over dramatic. Maybe have something more happen in the beginning that caused the hatred more. Not just a poem. And a bit of creeperness. e) sisters aren't always there for you. I think you're making everyone a bit too close. g) Alright, long rant time. :D You're characters have no personalities. You need to work on that. Stacy has no personalty. You say they spend more time with each other as the story goes on. Show that time. Give Stacy an interest. Give Skyler an interest other than hating Ashley and stereotyping everything he can think of. Give Erica something she likes, dolls or some such thing. Give Ashely an interest. No one wants to read about characters that don't have personalities. Have you ever met a person like that? Have you ever met a person with no interests or anything? I doubt it. o) random note, my letters smell the first part of a name of this random hot actress, Gage Golightly. Good name, right? |
![]() ![]() ![]() R. you make mountains out of mole hills O. congrats. you have officailly reached the oh-woe-is-me level of annoying teenage-dramaness. OMG. Y. "sarcastically" works better than a random sentence not attatched to anything saying "in a sarcastic tone" G. Suicide is not alwasy a cowards way out, sometimes there is a good reason. However I am not going to rant because I'm reviewing right now to make you be quiet in US and a six year old comming soon so I can't say much. B. Skyler "attempted suicide" was very lame. If someone is going to kill themselves they wouldn't do it in the kitchen with no warning at all. Skyler would consider it first. Then he wouldn't do it at their house. He would do it at his house. When no one was home. other wise it's just looking for attention. I understand that you needed Stacy to find him, but she is obviously old enough to drive and she could have just shown up at his house. B. They've known each other for one month. that is not a given that they'd get married. no even close. I. Ashely did not break his heart. He barely even talked to her before she said no. Breaking someones heart involves love. you can't love someone you don't know regardless of what all the Brad Pitt fans say. V. you have borring characters. They don't have personalities really. Skyler is obsessed with finding a girlfriend and for what your story says that's the only thing on anyone else's mind either. you need to develop your characters more. give Stacy some interests. give Erica some interests. give Ashely in interest other than boys and cheerleading. give Noah an interest, a job. no one wants to read 50,0 words of the same stuff. (Also, please note my points spell out Roy G. Biv aka the rainbow.) |
![]() ![]() ![]() why does Skyler assume Erica was in the woods? that makes no sense. |
![]() ![]() ![]() YOU ARE STILL Stereotyping! Ashely doesn't love Jerry. It's high school. Try thinking about it from Ashely's point of view. I should do my homework...that means you'll get more reviews. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Who opened the door? maroon and gold are terrible. it could be worse. could be beige and gold. they look worse together. did you know those were stolen from the fire department? Skyler is sterotyping jocks, thinking in a negative way is sometimes worse than not thinking at all. really, there is nothing wrong with jocks. I know jocks that want to be teachers when they grow up. i know teachers that used to be jocks. like mr. fitz. he still is. he was on tv for it. :) Skyler is over reacting to Ashely's boyfriend coming to see her. if he's her boyfriend, why can't he do that? that makes no sense If I was Ashley I wouldn't like Skyler. I would think he was a creeper too because you know what, he's being a drama queen and a crybaby and there is no reason why. he's hormonal. is he pregnant or something? you know what I'm going to do? When I'm done reading it, I'm going to take the Idea and write my own version and make you read it and see how it's different. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Alright, last thing first, Skyler says Ashely should have given him a chance. If Ashely already had a boyfriend she shouldn't if. if you don't like someone you shouldn't say yes to make them feel better. really, it ends badly every time (done that many many many times) Skyler is being a drama queen. it's rather simple. If you are going to make such a big deal out of Skyler "stalking" Ashley you need to go much more in depth about it. As far as I read he didn't do much and really, random non dramatic incident. Skyler is saying to think about him, but does he think about what she was feeling? Also, if you are going to reply to the reviews would you please try not to be too snarky/nasty because then I will have no reason to continue review. I do this to help and to help only. You need to listen to what other people say about it even if you don't like their opinions because guess what, that's life. C'est La Vie (that means that's life in french, btw) |
![]() ![]() ![]() I'm bored with the lettering. Skyler was much much much much too hard on Ashley. All she did was come home and rather hang out with friends than a guy she barely knows. there was absolutely no reason for him to explode at Ashley. He got pissed off much too easily and it was very dumb. there isn't any reason why Stacy and Erica would think he was a creeper just because he asked out Ashley. Ashley is obviously a hot cheerleader and people do tend to ask them out. Skyler has no reason to call Ashely a slut. he hasn't seen her with more than one guy so really, no reason for that. it's dumb. "but was" should be "but she was" the girl in the dream doesn't have to be a real person he has to identify. its just a dream. that's a good song. it could be their mother. in young form. random thought. |
