ORDINARY WARRIORS 'holds promise' but fails the 'What of it?' Test

Bonjour, Monsieur/Mlle Denny:

Thank you for your recent submission to TQR, our e-zine of the blurry edges.

Your piece, Ordinary Warriors, holds promise within and it's obvious to me that you know your characters well.

Two troubles, Hennie Denny, that cause me now to tell you that I cannot recommend Ordinary Warriors for further shazexamination by my meat shredding colleagues in the Terminal at this time, despite its considerable attributes:

1. Telling the story seems important to everyone involved, yet I cannot see why the reader would also passionately agree that the story of how two warriors met is important enough to merit said story taking up the entire plot of the cap. The small ones...the grandchildren of the dying one...appear eager to hear of it, as though some rite of passage will occur through the telling. But what? Asks the reader. What?

2. Although the descriptions are crafted well enough so that I am with you in that cage, splattered with the blood and the slices of skin, and EVEN titillated by the subtleties of this monster love on public display, again, I ask at the end, as the reader: what of it?

Perhaps on re-reading Ordinary Warriors you will catch a whisper of what it is I refer to....or perhaps not. It may be that I've missed the metaphor, stumbled past the obvious message you intended. It may be also that your piece will find a welcome place at the hearth of some other kind of publication. For now, Ordinary Warriors does not touch the Monkey. You know by now that he is an elusive one.

Merci, and we will hear from you again, Hennie Penny. I have a feeling that you have plenty pages in your chest of words.

All the best,

Gabrielle DePlancher The Depthless Floor TQR

  • I don't know when diner mugs became an obsession of mine, but since I acquired my first one, I never tire of searching for others to accompany it in our cupboard. You can find inexpensive ice pop molds by the dozen at the dollar store, big box, or houseware store. All users loved the results they had from using the Magic Bullet Express.

    In the previous, mothers have received no choice but to make use of glass child bottles
    in feeding their babies. Your glass plastic bottles should have your
    stopper into position to prevent unfamiliar products coming from getting into a combination.

  • Some items of clothing and accessories you
    may be able to roll up small enough to stuff into a stocking.
    I figured I should provide warranty information for your
    own knowledge. Even the most experienced
    buyer is excited by the challenge of discovering new products
    with high commercial potential.

  • I figured that it would do duplicates of posts or comments
    when I wrote on someone's articles, but it only leaves one copy of what I wrote. The battery is placed right under the hood of the mouse. Using the wireless device is plug and play simple and it works very well at keeping the clutter of cables out of your way at the office or home.
