Non-fiction / Favorite escape
This is nice. Maybe reverse the order or even if you decide to keep it, how about an equal sign, which does not count as a word? Ink ladened creativity = my favorite escape. Your call - good job either way. xo Rob
Hi: Don't hate me for this, but the story needs to be edited way down as far as personal comments and more substance regarding what his book is really about and the interview itself is just not realistic. For example, your opening is repetitive and by knocking out the first, awkward sentence and leaving one simple phrase, your reader gets the idea. Let me show you what I mean: “The truth is I’d rather die admired and respected then live unknown. The saddest thought I can think of is someone l...

Ha! I loved this - probably the best one I've read on this site so far. No critique at all - I wouldn't change a word.
The thought behind this is good but the sentence is a little clunky. Here's just one way you can still convey the same sentiment. Successful following failure - now in therapy. or even.. Failure then success. Still in therapy.

Sad but true. How about tweaking the "years and years" part for a little versatility. Overnight success takes lots of years. Overnight success usually takes a decade Overnight success usually means a decade. Etc. Good job as is, though. xo Rob
Short Story / life with love
I think I get this - I'm taking it the funny way like they are a couple splitting up but I'm not sure. That being said, if you do mean it that way, maybe make it a little more clear by saying something like "I love you, hey, that's mine!" Of course I could have misunderstood your point altogether and you may have been talking about his/her heart, soul, etc. But if it is, again, it should be made just a bit clearer. I gave you my gut reaction - not sure if others will agree or not...but if you...
Journal, Diary, & Blogging / Writing
Hilarious. And for some unfortunate writer pals of mine, it could even be Three years writing; ten years editing. One of the better six words I've read on this site. I have no critique other than "good job". Thank God. xo Robin
Poetry / Six Word Memoir
Fantastic! It says so much in six words...it has everything - humor, disgust, boredom...I absolutely love this. I know it's a "bad" review in that I can't critique it...but really, I wouldn't change a word. Best one I've read yet...just as I was starting to think I needed to leave this site.
Non-fiction / Why I love it
This is good but I wonder if it wouldn't be stronger if you used the "words" instead of imagination. And possibly the use of dashes instead of commas for more impact. Go anywhere -- be anyone -- with words. It does work as you have it, but I'm thinking imagination could just be dreaming as opposed to actually writing, and since your title is Why I Love It, I'm assuming you mean writing. Just my two cents but definitely decent as is if you don't want to tweak it. Best, Robin
