I think thee is a lot more you could do with this , it was just about an ice skater and all she did on the ice , this made it a little dull I think

    Yes, I am sure I could have down more, but this day I wanted to see how close I could get to explaining the performance. I could certainly expand on it latr. Right now, i was interested to see how this part would turn out. Thanks!Debbie

GREAT story! It was written well. I could envision the girl ice skating and doing her twirls!

    Thanks for correcting my error. I like to have my writing perfect at least in terms of spelling and grammer. Glad you enjoyed the story. I had written one several years ago and feel this is a much better piece!!!! DEbbie

Great detailed description of Dorothy Hamil's skating event. I remember how good she was in the Olympics several years ago. My granddaughter skates, so I could feel your emotion as you watched Dorothy on the ice.

My only suggestion would be to divide your story into paragraphs and separate the paragraphs with a blank space.

    I thought of that to, but wasn't sure where to make the breaks. I'll work with it some and try. Thank you so much for your kind review and comments!!! Debbie

The performance seems awesome. You have so vividly penned it, the reader can almost see the beauty of it. Its short and very descriptive. A nice, unique read.

Beautifully written - I felt that I was watching the skater performing, and could feel the adrenalin pumping, and the anticipation of a lifetime. The flow was excellent, and I look forward to more!

Good story, direction and presentation. Kept me interested, feeling part of the situation. Did she get it? Have to come back next year?

    I think she probably did!!! I tried writing that as an ending, but it seemed better to leave it too one's imagination.Thank you so much for your kind review and comments!!! Debbie
