What does it mean to critique a story?
I entered a competition. I wasn't overly pleased with the story I submitted. Neither were the judges. Actually, that's not fair. One was enthusiastic. The other two sort of liked it, I think? All three had comments to make about it. I was happy to receive their feedback.

The Rise of Magicks
Nora Roberts has written book three of 'The One' series. In my opinion I believe that this could be a stand-alone book too. It started in the new town of New Hope with Arlys and her keeping her journalistic tendencies to keep all safe from the Dark entities that have arisen from the time of 'The Doom' and finishes there too where things are happening. This is mainly the story of her children and the teams that are formed to try to make a new country magical and to be safe.

Year One
Nora Roberts has done it again and this time it is a novel the first in a series entitled 'Year One' that starts out with a virus called 'The Doom' and the world goes berserk. Kind of like when Covid-19 started. This is a story that has three groups of characters that will have to find a way to survive the virus. In this first book it is all about finding a safe place and just being able to survive to see another day. All the groups are just starting to form into what will be magical both white and dark and yes this is a story of witches, but a fun read. I am waiting for book two for it hasn't arrived yet.

The Dumbest Criminals. Top Story - January 2025.
Barry & Gary were a couple of absolute spanners! Dumb as rocks those two blokes were, they became a laughing stock in London, nobody took them seriously. Not even your old gran would be threatened by their pathetic attempts at threats, they looked as dim-witted as they appeared too. Both of whom were balding and pudgy, looking like aged bulldogs that do nothing but grumble, sleep and shit all day long. If they didn't look so bloody hilarious, they might've been shot in the head, both of them, long before this story. Gangsters kept the two spanners alive, just to point and laugh at them, I suppose. Barry & Gary were "wannabe thugs", who often preyed on teenagers instead of grown men like themselves, yet they would still get battered by the rowdy chavs more often than not. Whenever the police were knocking about, they'd both shit themselves and leg it, like a couple of rats! The two men were cousins who grew up in the nicer part of Essex, but always wanted to appear tough and rough, putting on fake cockney accents and walking with their arms stretched out, looking like your mam carrying the shopping bags home. This went on for years, trying to appear like the hardest men in London, only to fail every time. So, of course they got desperate. Started bars fights and always lost, began pick pocketing and always got caught. Always ran whenever a knife was pulled out on them or something. They decided to rob a barbers one day, that's right. Not a bank, not a shop, not even a restaurant, a barbers. It was a start I guess, how hard could that be? They often visited the same place to get their haircut, so nobody expected them to try and rob the place. They entered on a Saturday morning at 9AM.
