41. Short Story Writers - Writers Critique Group For Short Story Writing With Writin When critiquing a piece of writing, consider the following elements Not every comment a critique partner makes will apply to your story. http://www.shortstorygroup.com/critique.htm

Introduction Group Rules Critiquing Tips Short Story Tips ... Classic Short Stories When critiquing a piece of writing, consider the following elements: You may find it easier to put your critiques into the headings below, and give your views on each topic. Some members prefer to break the story down into parts and refer to each element in the story that they feel needs further work. What can be problematic is when a member writes about how the story has affected them personally and/or offers praise. Although praise and sentiment are very worthwhile they are not what a writer needs most when trying to "polish" their work to perfection. In the end, it is ultimately whatever you are most comfortable with, but at all times consider what would you most want for feedback on your writing. CHARACTERISATION: Do the characters seem real with depth and emotion, or are they recognizable stereotypes? Are the motives of the characters understandable and logical to the story? Are the good guy(s) likeable and the bad guy(s) really bad? The characters are very important to any story and they must be believable. There is room in any critique for characterization.

Enough to take all the rejections, enough to pay the price of disappointment and discouragement while you are learning. Like any other artist you must learn your craft then you can add all the genius you like." Phyllis A. Whitney, former Mystery Writers of America Grand Master While practice is the best way to improve your fiction-writing skills, you won't know whether you're on the right track what you're doing right and what you're doing wrong unless you get feedback. You have to show your story to others. At first, while you're still feeling your way, you'll probably show your story to friends and family, who will likely offer you more in the way of encouragement than perceptive observations of the story's strengths and weaknesses. This is fine when your ego is still fragile, but friends and family don't know how a story is created, only whether they like it or not. "I like it" is not a constructive comment, no matter how well-intentioned the reader. People who know nothing about writing can do little to help you improve your writing.

50. Rongo­rongo Jacques B.M. Guy describes this unique writing system and the attempts at its decipherment. Includes a critique of Stephen Fischer's proposed decipherment. http://www.netaxs.com/~trance/rongo2.html

RONGORONGO The Easter Island Tablets by Jacques B.M. Guy Overview Rongorongo Tablet three bear the same text in slightly different "spellings", a fact discovered by three schoolboys of St Petersburg (then Leningrad), just before World War II. In 1958 Thomas Barthel made the whole of the Easter Island corpus available in his "Grundlagen zur Entzifferung der Osterinselschrift" ("Bases for the Decipherment of the Easter Island Script"), alas never translated into English. Almost forty years later now the tablets remain as much of an enigma. Their meaning remains unknown, except for two and a half lines of one tablet, which, beyond reasonable doubt, contain a lunar calendar , already identified as such by Barthel in 1958. The Discovery of the Tablets "In 1868 newly converted Easter Islanders send to Tepano Jaussen, Bishop of Tahiti, as a token of respect, a long twine of human hair, wound around an ancient piece of wood. Tepano Jaussen examines the gift, and, lifting the twine, discovers that the small board is covered in hieroglyphs." Jaussen's Attempt at Decipherment Mgr Jaussen sits down to the daunting task of writing down Metoro's reading of four tablets in his possession.

LDS refers to members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Why are you called Night Writers? The name American Night Writers Association has a two-fold meaning. The first reflects the typical situation of the LDS woman who yearns to write: she is a daughter, student, wife, mother, career woman, or caretaker before she is a writer. In most cases, the only time left to write is at night. The second meaning derives from the fact that sometimes the words to write come from the Spirit during the night.

Guidelines for Writing a Dance Critique follow this guide for the long critique Do some background research on the artist Get an expanded picture of their historical context, their personal history, their philosophy and an idea of what makes them unique or significant as an artist in modern dance. This will help you to frame your experience and give you a larger context for understanding. Be cogent . You only have 4 pages, use them as efficiently as possible. A brief ? page intro paragraph to establish your "thesis" should be sufficient. Save the majority of your page space for the body of your analysis. Narrow your thesis . Do not write a summary of every dance in the concert. Limit your writing to only the most important material. After seeing the concert, you may find that one or two works, or something about the style of the choreographer in general is most interesting, evocative, provocative, intriguing, etc.—this is where you should center your writing. What interested you most? What made you feel the most? What made you most want to get up and move? These sorts of places will make the assignment more interesting for you to write, and more interesting for me to read. What to look for . While you watch the concert, it may be helpful to be aware of several possible issues on which you might focus your paper.

55. The Contradiction In Anarchism Objectivist critique of anarchocapitalism. http://rous.redbarn.org/objectivism/Writing/RobertBidinotto/ContradictionInAnarc

The Contradiction in Anarchism by Robert J. Bidinotto ( Bidinotto@compuserve.com In his posting [to the Moderated Discussion of the Objectivist Philosophy mail list], T. Franklin Harris, Jr. writes: Anarcho-capitalism is far from a "floating abstraction." It is founded on the principle of non-coercion (the state is seen as inherently coercive) which comes, in turn, from natural rights theory, which, as Rasmussen and Den Uyl note, makes up meta-normative principles necessary for human beings being complete moral agents. In an earlier posting, he said that... ...the main anarcho-capitalist point is that a monopoly on the use of retaliatory force must also include a legal monopoly on the use of coercive force. Outlawing alternative protection services if such services respect individual rights must be itself an act of coercion and thus immoral. And: If other protection agencies use force only for retaliatory and not coercive purposes, then outlawing such agencies would be coercive force. Thus he proposed... ...to question how a monopolistic government can be created that does not, by its very nature, violate the rights it is in the Objectivist view charged to protect...

58. The Writing Center At Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute When college professors ask you to write a critique of a text, they usually Plan and write your critique Write your critique in standard essay form. http://www.rpi.edu/dept/llc/writecenter/web/critique.html

back to handouts menu by Susan Katz and Jennie Skerl When college professors ask you to write a critique of a text, they usually expect you to analyze and evaluate, not just summarize. A summary merely reports what the text said; that is, it answers only the question, "What did the author say?" A critique, on the other hand, analyzes, interprets, and evaluates the text, answering the questions how? why? and how well? A critique does not necessarily have to criticize the piece in a negative sense. Your reaction to the text may be largely positive, negative, or a combination of the two. It is important to explain why you respond to the text in a certain way. Step 1. Analyze the text As you read the book or article you plan to critique, the following questions will help you analyze the text: What is the author's main point? What is the author's purpose? Who is the author's intended audience? What arguments does the author use to support the main point?

Business Directory Text Engineer Writing Coaching and Critique Service Business has witnessed and benefited from the rapid growth of varied types of professional mentoring, or "coaching" in recent years. Numerous practitioners now hone the skills and reshape perceptions of quality, management and other professionals, usually for the good of the bottom line.

Management realizes that clearer and more persuasive communication with all stakeholders is critical and, in our wired society, there truly is no second chance at that first impression.
