Critiquing Policy

amusingthemuseI was going to post this on every entry, but this is easier. :)
I fully believe that there are three ways writers learn: to write, to edit, and to receive con-crit.
I learned a long time ago to separate myself from the writing, so unless you're telling me I am a terrible person, I'm not going to take the commentary personal. Well, I hope I've separated myself enough anyway. I fully believe to "marry a draft" destroys it. In other words, I'd rather it be ripped apart and strengthened piece by piece.
I recently realized that I need to strengthen my voice. I also need to cut out those crappy adverbs and focus on making the words I use produce more images than it currently does.
All pieces posted here at![[info]](https://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
amusingthemuse are up for con-crit and editing. Please help me become a stronger writer by posting your feedback on any piece you see here, whether it was posted a year ago or it's posted tomorrow. If for whatever reason I decide I don't want con-crit and editing, I will post a disclaimer saying so.
Otherwise, it's a free for all. Thank you for any feedback you provide. Please let me know if you'd like something looked at as well because I'd love to offer you con-crit too! :)

on 2010-04-17 07:55 pm (UTC)Most pieces are by themselves, and therefore do not have to be read in any particular order. The exceptions are Project Jamie and Knights, Squires, and Satire: Oh My. There's an information post here that tells you what those two are about more or less. There's also the table of contents if you want to just search for a title that catches your eye.
Feel free to poke around. Anything on here could use some good con-crit.
