I love the camaraderie that comes when a group of people meet to critique writing. The relationships that form are sometimes deeper than friendships - something about writing causes us to bare not only our souls, but our guts as well.
I recently started attending a critique group on Thursday afternoons. One member gives the group a prompt for the next week. Here's our prompt for this week, "Harry spent his entire paycheck on Skippy peanut butter." What would you do with that prompt.
Last week, our prompt was to list 50 things we would never do. Here's a sample from my list:
7. I'll never hate the freshly sharpened pencil smell of elementary school hallways.
8. I'll never stop praying.
12. I'll never give up coffee.
25. I'll never smack gum in my mouth.
45. I'll never fail to celebrate Valentine's Day.
47. I'll never stop loving the outdoors.
I'm not sure what I'll do with Harry and his peanut butter. I have a week to work on it.
