Teach-in

[SweetWitch]

Here's an idea from an Anon (who isn't so anonymous) which I've given a lot of thought. I think it might be a good idea.

"Romance" in the best tradition

You manage the tricky bits of dialogue and the passion of feelings in a manner the rest of us should learn. Real heart-string pulling stuff !
Have you ever thought of a teach-in on lit?

What does everyone else think?

The idea is someone could ask a question about the best ways of phrasing certain thoughts or ideas, and those willing to share knowledge can respond. Any takers?

I like it. When I start writing again, I'll give you a go.

Better heal your shoulder first, twit.

I don't do anything with the word "teach" in it between now and the end of August. Maybe if you call it something different.

Let's call it: Sharing the fun.

Now I'm in! It's all about semantics.

It's all about meeting a sexy, hot teacher.

Step into my classroom.

But you better have your homework and a pencil.

Semantics? I'm always up to some antics.

You shouldn't encourage him. He's like a stray dog. Once you feed him, he never goes away.

Yes please.
I don't care what it's called.
But those of us who think our writing is not so good could use the coaching, I suspect.

Molly!

. . . sorry . . . I've been writing . . . .

This idea has been tried, oh! a bazillion times at LIT. I stepped in it when I first came aboard, and nothing has changed in 7 years. What folks want are acolytes NOT improvement.

Well, dear, it's your idea. Care to start off?

So have I. My muse took a long vacation, but now the bitch is back and won't let me rest.

I have garnered a great deal of knowledge here. Most of those who once helped me are now gone, but I appreciate every thought shared. There are still those out there who want to be better and search for a coach.

Hell yes. Mine could be...what NOT to do!

 

[KlaytonFrost]

Sounds like a good idea. Many other writers forums are gauged towards critique and improvement, and they seem to work quite well. No reason it couldn't be done here.

 

[annanova]

I'd participate. Sharing is fun!

Regarding what?

Ah, but you've never seen a simple set of questions degenerate into chaos like could only happen at Lit.

I love chaos.

Okay, so someone needs to ask a question and someone needs to answer it.

Writing question: Everyone says 'let the dialogue tell the story, don't narrate'...How?
