Critique Technique, Part 6: The Wrong Beginning

...tionships among the key characters, the stakes created by the inciting incident and the surface problem, and the characters’ first response to that problem. Example: Ethan Frome Is the “inciting incident” the right place for the book to start? Usually yes, but not necessarily. Let me give you an example—Edith Wharton’s Ethan Frome—that seems to contradict what I just wrote, and in so doing illustrates, if not proves, it. Ethan and Zeena Frome, des...Read More

Critique Technique, Part 4: Authorial Intentions and Tracking Your Own Responses

https://www.rossblampert.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Critique-Technique-Part-4-Authorial-Intentions-and-Tracking-Your-Own-Responses.mp3 I wrote in the previous article about keeping track of how a piece of writing makes you feel when you’re reviewing it. In this post, I was going to explore identifying why it made you feel that way, but I discovered I should introduce another topic first: “Is that what the author wanted me to feel?” Both quest...Read More

Critique Technique, Part 3: How Do You Feel?

...they have to do what they did in high school or college English classes: identify and explain the symbolism in a passage, say, or compare and contrast the use of metaphor with onomatopoeia. Nope! Nope, nope, nope. That’s not what critique or writers’ group feedback is about. It’s about helping the author get better by identifying what worked, what didn’t, and why. How Do You Feel? Let’s start with the easiest thing: how did the piece make you fee...Read More

Critique Technique, Part 2: Series Overview

...ly have to absorb one or a few at a time. And with practice, it does get easier. #2: Where did it happen? Be specific! Identify the spot right on the manuscript. Do more than just underline or circle it, though. In your notes in the margin—you DO write margin notes, don’t you?—answer the next two questions. #3: What was the exact nature of the problem? Again, be as specific as possible. WARNING: this requires actually thinking about the writing, n...Read More

Critique Technique, Part 1: Critique, Technique, and Procedure

...minor. It should not be something silly, a sign that you’re struggling to come up with something good to say, like, “Your margins were wonderful.” Your purpose is to not only compliment the writer for something well done but to make them more receptive to what you’re about to tell them. Then you go to the “hard” stuff, the things that did not work, or did not work well. Be sure to explain why they did not, as best you can, and offer suggestions o...Read More

Book 3 Draft 3, New House News, and Cookies!

...ious, so I asked Tina for the recipe. She sent me this link for it: http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/peanut-butter-blossoms-cookie-exchange-quantity/78806839-e0bd-4710-8b10-82abbece7ce5. Sunday afternoon, I made a batch. Look good, don’t they? And not a Calorie in sight. I promised the group I’d bring them some… if there are any left by then!   Save Save Save Save Save Save Lots of ways you can share this: Twitter Facebook LinkedIn Email Print...Read More

This Is Why

...ke the Survivor Tree, the American Elm that survived the bombing and has become the Memorial’s symbol, Oklahoma City and the surrounding region have recovered, taken other body-blows (in the form of massive, deadly tornados), survived, recovered again, and not just gone on, but gotten better. The people here learned to weather all kinds of storms they could not have imagined before they happened. They have learned about strength–strength they neve...Read More

Life on the Urban Interface–Sharing the Space with the Wildlife

...ent that photo to a friend who’s a wildlife biologist to see if she could identify it. She couldn’t–she’d seen them around but didn’t know the species–and suggested I do a Google image search for “Arizona brown spider.” That was real pleasant, I can assure you! So was looking at pictures of wolf spiders. No definite matches, so I just kept my eyes open for this guy with the hopes that I could get him outdoors without getting bitten myself. Alas, t...Read More

Mine! (Almost) All Mine!

...move is forcing me to do is get a new internet service provider. The cable company I’ve been using for the last 20 years doesn’t provide service in Wild Horse, so my choices are either DSL or an over-the-air link. DSL data rates aren’t the greatest, and I’d gotten positive reviews about some of the broadcast providers, so I had one of them come down and install their system. Here’s Ben installing the antenna. Yes, it’s that small. The transmission...Read More

Paving the way to more progress

...built. The bad news is that it had to be taken out so the drywall guys can come in and put in a piece to seal up the space. The vent cover will probably have to be remade to fit the new, smaller hole. Ah, well. This is a normal part of the process: adjust here, tweak there, and eventually it all comes together. And if I hadn’t been there to see it, I probably would never have known. Save Lots of ways you can share this: Twitter Facebook LinkedIn E...Read More
