The Portsmouth Writers Salon had a wonderful meeting this evening. Meeting minutes were emailed out to those present and those not present who mentioned interest.
“Can a story be good only if it produces an effect? If the effect is a bad one, but intended, has the story done its job? Is it then a good story? If the story produces an effect other than the intended one, is it then a bad story? Can a story be said to produce an effect at all? Can a story actually do anything at all? ”
There is a service called Flourish Editing that for 4 cents a word provides copyediting feedback, here is the website: http://www.flourishediting.com/According to their website on Mondays, they offer a free critique on up to 750 words.
There is a book called Writing Begins with the Breathe by Laraine Herring that one of our members recommends.
Until next time.
Keep Writing,
Portsmouth Writers Salon
