Shadows
Typical Day7 total reviews
Comment from Judy Swanson
Zanya, I think this is a good entry for the 100 words or less prompt about your typical day. Your narrator provides images and clues that bring your reader deeply into the dark and quiet time of the owl, the catfights, the shadows, and the changing light. I particularly like the references to "dawn light." Judy

Dear Author,
Your contest entry is a great use of few words to tell a larger story. I enjoyed your setting with sounds and texture added. Your ability to also add depth to the writer's typical night was well structured and authentic.
My best in this contest,
Deborah

Comment from Joanna S. Blue
This is a reminder that some people's 'day' is night. You paint a very vivid scene of someone working in the quiet with the various night sounds outside. I love the detail of your grandfather's clock and that he worked the night shift. A contrast with your work as a writer; still, a connection.

Comment from Catmusings
I love how you made us feel and hear that night setting so well with details like the catfight breaking out. I especially liked the grandfather clock ticking and how he worked the graveyard shift at the shipyard. Nice connection.
Good for you being able to work in the night. I'm a morning person. Don't know how people do it. My mother used to do shift work as a nurse and it messed her up something awful. She'd come home and clean in the middle of the night. Very loudly! I'm sure you're not as loud with your writing! Beautifully done!

Superb review with some interesting commentary zanya
Comment from Rachelle Allen
Omigoodness! This one has "Front-runner" typed ALL OVER it!! This is SO eerie and wonderful and full of perfect touches ("the rhythmic ticking of my late grandfather's wooden clock")
I was thinking of entering this contest, Mystery Writer, but I think I'll just vote for you, instead. This is awesome. xo

This is a good entry for the typical day contest but it sounds more like a typical night to me. However I found it very atmospheric and wish you good luck in the co petition. Jen.

Very well written. It grabbed my attention from the start (I relate to owls) and creates a mood of tranquillity, productivity and inspiration.
