Description
2:00 – 2:30 PM Review "Tense" Writing Exercise & Discuss
Writing exercise: Write a scene that incorporates the character’s past, present, and future.
2:30 – 3:00 PM Craft Workshop: Tense
Tenses make us all tense sometimes. How do you talk about the past, the present, and the future? How do you talk about the future from the past or the farther past from the past? We’ll look at how to do all of this without losing your mind.
3:00 – 5:00 PM Critique Manuscript(s).
Short manuscripts (2-5 pages) may be brought to the critique workshop with sufficient number of copies to distribute to members.
Critique Workshop
Our next Critique Workshop will be held Sunday, October 5th, 2008, at 2:00 PM. The location has yet to be announced. For more information, contact Kathie at kathie dot blog at gmail dot com or call 521-4264.
Manuscripts are due no later than noon Saturday, September 27, 2008. Once received, we will assign the critique leader and email out the manuscripts by 5:00 PM that day. Documents should be sent to Kathie for distribution to the entire group in the following format (listed in order of preference): *.doc, *.txt/*.rtf or *.pdf If you are unable to open any of the preceding formats, please notify Kathie immediately and provide a list of formats you are able to open.
Remember, we want to make sure everyone has had ample opportunity to read your work at least twice as this is the best way to receive the best constructive critiquing and must keep in mind everyone’s hectic schedules.
Lead critiquers will be assigned with the distribution of the manuscripts. If you won’t be making our Sunday, October 5th, 2008, meeting at 2:00 p.m. (location TBA), please let Kathie know so that you are not assigned a lead critique position.
If you’d like to know more about critiquing, formating your manuscript for critiquing purposes, etc. please leave a comment and we’ll be happy to bring you up to speed and answer your questions!
