Lets start with a bit of peer review. These are the marks received so far on You Write On from fellow writers-to be (lowest mark 1 on left, up to highest 5 on right):
Character 0 1 14 18 12
Story (plot) 0 1 15 18 11
Pace/Structure 0 6 17 17 5
Use of Language 0 0 6 17 22
Narrative Voice 0 1 5 21 18
Dialogue 0 3 18 18 6
Settings 0 0 9 25 11
Themes/Ideas 1 1 8 26 9
Using standard deviation these marks add up to an overall 3.9. Apparently. So some things appear obvious: Pace & Dialogue need some thought. And at least one person thought the whole idea was useless and gave it 1. Not sure who that was, so can't get a vicious revenge crit in either.
On YWO you can remove 1 bad (i.e. low mark) review out of every 8 received. So far I have removed 6. Wish I had kept them to include here.
About Me
- Nick Poole
- Now over fifty (ulp!), Nick Poole has spent most of his adult life avoiding writing and drinking booze instead. The writing has finally caught up with him. He is a veteran of many Jobcentres, on both sides of the desk. He has signed on at Chatham, Purley, Croydon, Maidstone and probably another couple he has forgotten. He has (poacher turned gamekeeper) worked as an Advisor in Catford, New Addington, Greenwich and Forest Hill jobcentres. He has also devised and run courses for the long term unemployed. Despite these unproductive years, he still has delusions of genius and a grossly exaggerated idea of his own literary importance.
