The new phone is here...
I'm liking my new phone. It arrived safely in good condition and does what i wanted it to. I feel sad for my old phone though - I thought I heard it crying last night, rejected and abandoned for a newer, glossier model. Can report too that I did eat chocolate, but didn't get any timely distractions. Frustration levels high and now I've got so much work to do on the new WIP after attending a critique meeting this morning but its a miserable wet weekend so everyone and their dog wants to use the computer. I never work well with someone breathing down my neck. I also need to write a column for the august Kiwiwrite4kidz newsletter and i'm not feeling inspired by any topics at the moment. If anyone has any burning questions or issues they want discussed please let me know.

how about the value of group critiquing? Stephen King said his his book on writing, which is a very good book actually,that one should write the first draft with the door closed- that is with no-one looking at it. The second with the door open- allowing contribution from others. When at the IIML we did alot of class critiquing and I got very disillusioned along the way.Some poeple were just plain nasty. Everyone wants to have their say and then you get the Zelig types who agree with the most strident person in the room and then another until everyone it seems hates your work... an article called 'Picking over the Carcass' perhaps?! x Fifi
