Yeah, I left that out. I wanted to write down the first thing that came to my head after I read the words. I thought it might be interesting to see how that would work. I'm sort of just feeling this thread out now, to see where it is going, and to see if it has any potential as a start of some real online writers group.
I actually have a writing group I attend on Wednesdays, but it's a three hour class and I don't really know if I want to stick with it. It's mostly women over 60 and they chit chat a whole lot so I don't think I'll learn as much as I'd like to. There seems to be lots of creative and talented people here that I can relate to a little better, so hopefully something might materialize here, but if no one is interested then I'll just stick with the what I'm doing. I like the feedback here so far. I'm not comfortable using dashes. It's nice to see how much of an improvement dashes and semi colons can have on a sentence.
I knew I left out glass, but I wanted the scene to flow from a stream of consciousness. It's good practice for me to blurt out things without over thinking and then look at it from different angles to see how it can be improved.
Does anyone want to make a poem out of this, or should we finish up Miss Construes story?
Also, does anyone have any ideas that could make this a good writer's group?
ehh, forgetting about glass is alright, I just gotta be a bit more wary of my picking at stuff (yeah I can nag like no-ones business...)
As for the writing group you are currently in, yeah Id get bored (well, to be honest most senior citizens do bore me.)
Ideas for making this into a writers group. Do more exercises like this one. Should have more sharing of ideas in general. Discussion on character/story archetypes as well, put our analytical skills to use. Learn from the data gathered and such.
poetry I suck at, but ;ets see what else gets done with miss-construes story first.
Ill check this after I wake up I guess, already 1 AM
