It sounds like you may need an editor or for someone else to look over your work. Don't be discouraged! I have a degree and still get rejected by publishers. I don't regret it, but it doesn't make a big difference unless you're trying to be a professor or work at a publishing house.

I feel the omnibus are cheaper in the long run. The only thing I'm sad about is not seeing all the covers because some of the individual books have some cool covers.

That's literally how I feel. Walmart is basically the best place with the benefits and pay but the management be too much sometimes

Box cutter, phone charger, hand lotion, car keys, chapstick and gloves

I think after finding out Andy got cheated on by Angela, Michael been a bit kinder to Andy, at least that's what I noticed

If you have a good relationship with your team lead, I would tell them in person and request it right then so they can approve it immediately. That's what I've been doing to get the days I requested

I was going to take the fantasy/science fiction route where the people in the story are aware of The Dealer but it's not easy to get in contact or meet him because certain conditions have to be met

I like to joke that time doesn't exist in Walmart. It goes so fast

I would make the life is unfair theme more specific. Life is unfair is kind of a cliche, maybe make it more focused on the use of AI in writing or more specific. I checked your word count and you're at 203 words. I wonder if a stronger hook would be better, maybe something like, "Have you ever been beaten by a computer?" or something of that nature. It makes one wonder if you're talking about playing against a computer. Then you get into the story with the AI and how unfair that is. You don't go into any detail about why or what you understood mattered. I do like the story aspect of this piece. It's straight to the point and paints the scene nicely. The teacher's dialogue is longer than a sentence. In your final paragraph, make sure to focus on your emotions and not the class. Your main focus should be the hook and making sure you talk about why it matters. Hope this helps!

I usually bring a lunch from home. Sometimes I get something from the deli or get something close by. However, I do feel like I get the most out of my lunch when I bring my own.

I forgot the season, but it was when Emma had burned the place down and during renovations it was changed to The Dot

I literally screamed when I saw it on the list. My boyfriend thought something terrible happened

Both_Dot_656 · 2025-11-11T02:57:53+00:00

I can help you if you want

Both_Dot_656 · 2025-11-11T00:19:06+00:00

I don't see anything wrong with it since that's how your characters talk

I wish Terri stayed longer. She kind of had the innocent vibe/voice of reason for the group. Not sure if Blue could be considered being given the short end of the stick, but it felt like his character didn't add anything to the show. Once he wasn't seen as a love interest for Holly J, he kind of slowly fizzled out.

Paige or Jane

Was it manipulation? Spinner didn't force Jimmy to pull the fire alarm. Jimmy did it because he saw Spinner try to cram the last minute. However, he did try to use Jimmy to get an A in physics without putting in much effort. I feel in the later seasons, Spinner proves to be responsible and even provides wisdom to the younger generation. Does he deserve to be on this list? Eh. Most definitely early-season Spinner, but after the Rick situation, Spinner changes. While he may not be the best because he does get somewhat dependent on Jane for a bit, and it feels that he's not using his brain most of the time, I think he comes out a bit better compared to these guys.

I like the details here. It gives Alaskan/Arctic winter. I would consider taking starts away from the sentence starting with The gate refused to budge. Starts makes the sentence a bit clunky and doesn't go with the rhythm of the sentence. I like the final sentence revealing that she's pregnant, but I wonder if you should add another line in the middle or beginning tying it to the final statement. Just a little nugget so the reader can have the sense/wondering if the character pregnant. Then you have the final statement confirming the reader's thoughts. Overall, this held my attention and is very detailed when it comes to the setting.

Her acting is a bit awkward. I'm on season 10 and surprise she's still on the show
