Week 3 is already upon us! My critique partners and I started this round a bit early, as we all had our self-edited drafts ready to go. I?m so grateful to my CPs for their help in this round of the Writer In Motion event. I was nervous about the process, since this was my first time doing the event, but I had no reason to be. In fact, everyone I?ve met and interacted with through WIM has been incredibly kind, talented, and friendly.
My CPs and I swapped drafts of our stories in Word and used track changes and comments to leave feedback. I received both high-level feedback and input on word use and structure that tightened the prose to give more space for the story.
Thanks to their insights, I was able to clarify my character?s motivation, highlight the turning point that brings her to sacrifice her isolation for a stranger, and add a few touches that illuminate her backstory.
