kalyeope: As I look through the site and the writings I have rated and commented on it would seem most others give five stars as if they are candy. How can everything be worthy of five stars? Has this sight lost its purpose of helping writers improve or is this another place that has degraded to a pat on the back and a "bravo keep up the good work" site? While the stars are nice and add another dimension to judging a work, complaining that every other reviewer gave them five when I only gave them four and telling me I don't understand how the site works is less than productive. Perhaps I am a harsher judge but as most will not apologize for their writing, I will not apologize for my ratings or comments. I will however listen to why my rating was wrong and reread edited items I have reviewed and if I am wrong or it is updated I am happy to add to my comments and change the rating. Though it may be of no comfort to others, I am as hard or harder on myself as I am on others and stand behind my opinions and views. No one can make everyone happy 100% of the time and I do not believe my comments are overly harsh, nor unfair. If I have reviewed your writing and want to discuss it further or I was not clear in my comments I welcome a message and will reply as soon as I can. If any particular reader would prefer I do not rate or comment on their writing I will oblige. Please just send me a message. Note: To me five stars says "this is perfect just the way it is." And I rarely find anything perfect without room for improvement so will rarely give five stars. Sincerely, Kaly |

In reference to the reviewing I am glad you don't agree with me sometimes. How boring this world would be if we all thought the same! I don't expect everyone to follow my advice but at least its out there to consider. I am hoping to improve and grow as a reviewer as well as a writer so your input is most welcome and appreciated. Sincerely, Kaly - | ||
