Hello, writers,
It’s hard to believe we’re
already into the month of November!
Beginning on October 13 and
running through November 17, our second session is shaping up to be full of
delightful words and witticisms from our participants.
Below, you’ll see recaps from
October 13 and October 20 respectively. I’ll post recaps of the October 27 and
November 3 sessions soon.
Recap of October 13 CCWW
After Richard N., Matt Y., Connie W. and Danielle T. read their war-ups, we started our critique session.
Matt Y. began
by reading a prompt-based piece (sibling rivalry) featuring a father and a son
talking about pride. Members said his piece had excellent dialogue and
characterization. Richard N. then
shared “At the Noble Lodge Altar,” which is part of his second Dodge
novel. His characterization of Malphas
and Pike worked well, according to members. Ines
R. then shared chapter 6 of “Waves,” her mermaid piece. Her descriptions of
the hospital and her characters worked well, members said.
Connie W. then
read another “Hemp Rope” piece in which Aiden, now 16, has gained Leary’s favor.
Members said her conflict worked well as did her descriptions. Cameron S. then read a visceral
first-person piece about sinking into darkness.
Members said the emotions in her piece worked well. Danielle T. then shared a piece about teaching a Sunday school
class of older ladies. Members complimented her syntax and the realism of her
piece.
I, Nancy B., then shared another installment of my dictionary story. Members
said the human attributes of the droid worked well. Irina
R. finished the session sharing more of her WIP. Members said Irina created
excellent action sequences.
Great work, everyone!
Recap of October 20 CCWW
I, Nancy B., began the session reading another chapter of my WIP.
Members complimented my use of figurative language (i.e. “angry chorus of
chainsaws” ). Ruth A. then read “The
Halloween Cowgirls,” a piece featuring the Halloween adventures of two sisters.
Members complimented Ruth’s descriptions and the quality of her story. Richard N. then shared a continuation of
his second book. Members complimented the scene where Monty decides to respond
to God’s call.
Elaine H. then
read a continuation of her WIP. Members were delighted by the budding romance
between Young Wolf and White Dove, and they complimented Elaine’s vivid
descriptions (i.e. “flames raking the sky”). Cameron S. then read “Plans, Plans, Plans,” a humorous piece about
a teen named Dylan. Members complimented her conversations and subject matter. Irina R. then read a continuation of her
WIP. Members loved her descriptions (i.e. “windows became shaded yellow”) and
the flow of her story.
Ines R. then
shared a piece featuring Stella and Richard. Members were delighted and shocked
when Stella shot Richard! Ashley T. then
read more of her fan fiction based on “The Mortal Instruments.” Members
complimented her dialogue and the balance of narration and description. Lisa C. then
shared “The Not So Wicked Step-Mother,” a humorous poem.
Members loved the
subject of her piece as well as her clever rhymes (i.e. “slime/time”). Lori L. then read a piece featuring a
person who hit a rabbit with her car. Members complimented the flow of her
piece as well as the use of the rabbit as a symbol of hope.
Excellent job, everyone!
