Constructive Critique

HOW IT WORKS:

·         Read the work through first as a reader, then as a writer.

·         Find the good points and begin with that.  Then begin with what could change and explain why.

·         Be unbiased. Judge the work not the writer.

·         Try not to focus too much on grammar and sentence construction.

HOW IT DOESN”T:

·         Criticizing the story world.

·         Words like STUPID, SUCK and all variants thereof won’t help anybody.

***Remember***

We writers are a sensitive lot regarding our work. 

Be nice. 

It is the right of the writer to take or disregards advice given.

Allow time for some self reflecting.
