Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around seeking feedback on a story written by a participant, who identifies as a programmer with limited writing experience. The scope includes requests for critique and suggestions for improvement, as well as sharing resources for obtaining feedback.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Debate/contested, Meta-discussion

Main Points Raised

  • A participant expresses a desire for feedback on their writing, acknowledging their limited skills and sharing a link to their work.
  • Another participant suggests online critique workshops as a means to receive feedback, mentioning specific platforms like Critique Circle and Critters.
  • One participant attempts to critique the work but admits to confusion regarding its content, indicating a lack of familiarity with the style.
  • A later reply humorously interprets the lack of understanding as a negative reflection on the work, while also noting ongoing revisions.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion reflects mixed responses, with some participants offering resources for feedback while others express difficulty in understanding the work. No consensus on the quality of the writing is reached.

Contextual Notes

Participants do not clarify specific aspects of the writing that may contribute to confusion, nor do they elaborate on the nature of the story itself. The discussion remains focused on feedback mechanisms rather than detailed critique.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals interested in writing feedback, particularly those exploring online critique communities or seeking to improve their writing skills.

I am really a programmer, so my writing skills are limited.
However, friends encouraged me, and I wrote http://tpsme1.blogspot.com, but can't seem to get any feedback.

Any feedback will be appreciated and favor will be returned.

A humble newbie

Have you tried any of the many online critique workshops? One of the best, I think, is http://www.critiquecircle.com/default.asp.

You have to critique others to have your own looked at, but they make it easy with their in-line templates.

Another good one online is Critters.
 
Thanks!
 
I was going to critique it, but when I read it, I had no idea what I was looking at. I'm not a poetry or lyrical kind of guy, sorry.
