@techfashion0315, I've recently read your reviews for various movies and they are outstanding!! I love your choice of vocab and how you phrase your sentences! I genuinely wish I could write as well as you! I'd be open to any and all tips (from anyone really)!

Aww, you're so sweet! Thank you! Really, I have to credit reading. I have read so many books, so I'm familiar with how authors structure their sentences to form coherent and effective sentences. Also, I would also say something that my mom told me when I was younger that I always use with my movie reviews as well as my book reports in school is "tell them what you're going to tell them, tell them, tell them what you told them". I usually start my reviews with a quote from the movie (if I can) and then do a summary of the movie. Then I give my opinion. I try to make my opinion the shortest part unless the movie was really bad or really good. Essentially, I try to give all the information about the movie that I would want to know before I watched it, like, is it family-friendly, or are there parts that you should talk about with your parents? etc. Anyways, you're a really good writer too! You've written many awesome reviews that I really, really like! Keep up the good work! 😃

Thank you SO much for the help! I really appreciate it! Honestly, I haven't been reading much lately, so I'll have to pick it up again. Keep writing and reviewing because they are stellar!

This week's quote: “Ships don't sink because of the water around them. Ships sink because of the water that gets in them. Don't let what's happening around you get inside you and weigh you down.” ~ Anonymous...I think I've shared this before but I really like this one so I wanted to repost it! Have a great week!
