Yet once the introduction anchors the reader to tell about the author&#8217;s journey, the book becomes one edifying entry after another. I found the poetry to be excellent, and the pictures she paints of each month are so true to life the reader senses the weather changing with each season. The stories she tells are entertaining and heartwarming, and her insights are worth contemplating. Yes, January truly is a state of mind!<\/li>\n<li>The extra materials of postcards, inserts, and a business card are appreciated and market the author in an appealing way. All in all, a joy to read and to treasure.<\/li>\n<li>Lynda McKinney Lambert gained an instant fan in this reviewer with her book, WALKING BY INNER VISION: STORIES AND POEMS. Her amazing and dynamic spirit emanates from every page. The reader senses a gentle and humble spirit, the type of person we can all only hope to meet. The cover, with the closeup of a flower, is vibrant and eyecatching. The author is introduced to the reader on the back cover as an artist with profound sight loss. The reader appreciates the lovely photo of the author displaying what is presumably a piece of art she created. Amazing!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The scores in each section are rated on a 1-5 scale with 5 being the most points the judge can give for that category.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Judge\u2019s Commentary*:<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<li><strong>Voice and Writing Style: <\/strong>5<\/li>\n<li><strong>Production Quality and Cover Design:<\/strong> 5<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spelling, Punctuation, and Grammar:<\/strong> 5<\/li>\n<li><strong>Structure, Organization, and Pacing:<\/strong> 5<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>My Response:<\/p>\n<p>I am most grateful for this juror&#8217;s evaluation of my book!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m glad I took the plunge and sent my book to Writer&#8217;s Digest \u00a0for scrutiny in this contest.<\/p>\n<p>This evaluation report arrived near the end of 2020.<\/p>\n<p>My One Word for 2020 has been GIFTS.<\/p>\n<p>I consider this report a tremendous GIFT of CONFIDENCE by the juror who examined my book.<\/p>\n<p>Whoever you are, I am filled with GRATITUDE to receive your evaluation!\u00a0 Thank you!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I spent a good deal of time this year\u00a0 evaluating my own writing.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"font-inherit\"><em>My MISSION STATEMENT<\/em><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Seeking Euphoria\u00a0\u00a0\u2013 through art and writing.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><em>I reveal what is forgotten, lost or invisible.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h1 class=\"font-inherit\"><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\"><strong>*<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n<h1 class=\"font-inherit\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">NEW \u2013<\/span> <\/em><\/strong><\/h1>\n<h1 class=\"font-inherit\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Walking by Inner Vision: <\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/h1>\n<h1 class=\"font-inherit\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong><em>Stories &amp; Poems<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n<h2 class=\"font-inherit\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>Available NOW!<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/lyndalambert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Front-Cover.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2399 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/lyndalambert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Front-Cover-200x300.jpg?resize=403%2C605\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 403px) 100vw, 403px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lyndalambert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Front-Cover.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lyndalambert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Front-Cover.jpg?resize=768%2C1151&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lyndalambert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Front-Cover.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lyndalambert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Front-Cover.jpg?resize=809%2C1212&amp;ssl=1 809w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lyndalambert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Front-Cover.jpg?w=1802&amp;ssl=1 1802w\" alt=\"\" width=\"403\" height=\"432\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lyndalambert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Front-Cover.jpg?fit=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lyndalambert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Front-Cover.jpg?fit=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Book Cover: Walking by Inner Vision: Stories &amp; Poems.
