Corvallis Creative Writers Saturday Sharing/Critique

Corvallis Creative Writers Saturday Sharing/Critique

After we give ourselves time to generate new writing, we'll take a break and come back to share our work. You don't have to share what you write that morning; it can be anything you're needing feedback on.

There are two rules (so far) in this group:

1. Thank the person for sharing.
2. Don't offer credit or critique if you don't have any.

Sometimes, in workshops, we feel like we need to say something or share. That's not the case. And it sometimes leads to people resorting to obsolete or irrelevant "rules" of writing that aren't true and are often not helpful.

Share if you want to. If you just want to share, tell us, "I'm just sharing," or, "I want to share, but I don't want/need feedback." We will say thank you for sharing, and move on.

For critique:
• If you liked/loved something, be specific.
• If you were confused by something, speak up.
• If you have an idea for the writer, put it in the form of a question: "What would happen if the character did this...?" Or: "What if you changed the setting to 1955?"

We will develop this critique group as we go to make sure every writer is getting the most out of it.

This group can be combined with the Saturday Write-In that comes before it. If you attend the Saturday Write-In, you can stay in that meeting for the sharing/critique hour.

Remember to RSVP for both meetings.
