Blog Crit of in the Duke's Bed by Anon
The text and critique are only posted on this blog and not on a true public forum. Next Wednesday, I'll critique again.
If you're interested in a critique, send your first 500 words to me at lynnette_labelle at hotmail dot com. Please put "Blog Critique" in the subject, so I know it's not spam. Let me know the genre of the sample and whether or not I have permission to use your name. There are a few people still waiting for crits, so your piece will be added to the queue. I'll let you know roughly how long it'll be once I receive your sample.
Please note: I'm only accepting one sample per person at this time.
Thanks to all who've volunteered to share their work on my blog.

I love the concept of this and especially how you left it open for thought! The first line was addicting. :)
ReplyDeleteThe anonymous writer who volunteered to have this piece critiqued contacted me via email and said this: "Lynnette, thanks so much for the critique. The thing that amazed me the most is that I pride myself in being a natural born proofreader--but this was an early draft and I could not believe the REPETITIONS I missed (i.e., the same words used over again in a short space of writing). You also pointed out stylistic concerns as well that are really valid. Your comments were really helpful--thanks again!"
ReplyDeleteP.S. She gave me permission to post her comments.
