Again, another GREAT quote by C.S. Lewis. I love it!!! SO true!!!
Oh, it was HILARIOUS to see the looks on all you guys faces last night when DJ said,"Now, this is my pet story, so tell me something good about it." I'm still rotfl at the memory of the silence and the expressions of horror on nearly everyone's face because most of us had jumped in with almost cruel abandon, determined to not miss one problem, completely forgetting that we were also to look for what we liked about the story. ;D I'm not likely to forget it. (For those of you who weren't there, DJ didn't actually write the story that we were critiquing. DJ just threw in that twist on purpose to remind us that critiquing is not about just finding what's wrong in a piece.)
Welcome to Pens and Pages! We enjoy learning how to write, and it is a pleasure to associate with other writers. Please look around, and we hope that you will enjoy the fun exercises here, the samples from other writers, and the fellowship. Only a few of us are published (and self-published at that) so don't be embarrassed to try. Please look around and...enjoy!
Our Mission Statement:
The mission of Pens & Pages Writers Guild is to facilitate and encourage writers of all genres, to share resources and tips about the writing process and, most of all, to provide a positive and productive forum that will encourage and support each writer in his or her creative endeavors.
