Writer help:
I need technical help -- if something works ("works" defined as holds-
your-interest) why does it work, technically? If it doesn't work,
what piece of craftwork could mend it??
I'm embarrassed and frustrated by feedback offered without technical/
craft comments to back it up.
I'm trying to develop the habit of balanced self-editing, and
thoughtful peer feedback could go a long way toward developing that
habit as the semester grinds on...
I want to offer that to others as well, become good at seeing how
writing works, understand its effectiveness within its own terms and
genre, give useful feedback regardless of my emotional response to
the content, or literary/personal biases.
Problem of the semester:
How and when do I apply technical analysis to a piece developed from
intuition and imagery? How do I transform inchoate impulses into
tightly crafted and polished theater/literature?
