Club Rules And Regs

The Writer's Meow Rules & Regulations  
 
1 – Our purpose and mission:  This club is designed exclusively for writers looking for constructive criticism, writing tips, and encouragement. This club is not just to showcase work – it is for those who truly want to improve their skills! We can all benefit from positive feedback and become better writers with one another’s assistance. In addition to featuring writers in the club, we also have a special forum for chats & discussions on every aspect of writing, from conception to publishing and beyond.  The Writer’s Meow showcases everything from fiction

The Soft Sound of RainThe soft sound of rain on the wood above  soothes my mind, makes my body want to move  to the rhythmical drops that are part of  a desire to you I would like to prove.  To Nature’s slow music, I start to groove,  my arms poised upwards, I begin to waltz  with an invisible partner I move  and dance without any apparent faults.  Rain cool on any exposed skin, it halts  nothing as I grip air, dancing about  ignoring the winds constant cold assaults;  I enjoy myself, beyond any doubt.  I am broken free from my lonely trance,  could I please ask of you, this one slow dance?

Desperation In ShadowsYelling through this silence.  Caught in the desperation of this shadow.  Shielding the truth from the knowing eyes.  Placing these words in a need to find a comfort.  Tears falling,  the heart aching.  Tomorrow comes and goes.  The days still pass on.  Caught in the moments, just to shelter out this cold.  They've been moving on for awhile.   
Wouldn't have known the change.  Fragile within.  Yet time has taken it's toll.  Adjusting to the mirror changes.  As the screams echo out.  Caught in the desperation of this shadow.  Thoughts circling on rewind.   Desperation In Shadows

Detached by Mental-MishapI’m not broken,  I just feel…  Detached.   
Somehow removed  
And distant  From you.   
I don’t know when it happened,  I could say  It was that day…  Or this one.   
But really it faded slowly,  Slowly, slowly.  Like the lingering sunset  At the end of a beautiful day.   
Your head is bowed  It has been for much of the time.  You sit holding my hand,  But I never see your eyes.   
I begin to think you are blind,  Transfixed with specks of dirt on the window.  You do not seem able  To look beyon Detached by Mental-Mishap

If you entered, you MUST vote! (Or your entry will be disqualified.) :-(

No voting for yourself!!!

Read the prose/poem and then the entrant's critique. Use these guidelines to judge if the critiquer has done a good job:

The purpose of criticism is to build up not tear down! Your goal is to improve their ability to write. :rip:

Mechanical details such as punctuation, capitalization, and grammar are important, but do not overly nitpick.

Watch for good transitions between thoughts and subjects. Make sure the content flows.

Your criticism must be constructive to be acceptable. :boogie:

Remember our critiquing motto:
“This club will be a source of positive encouragement for its members. We encourage you to comment, sandwiching negative between praise. Make suggestions as necessary, but be sure to compliment the writer - even the worst written prose or poetry has something of quality!”
