I think your focus and critical perception makes you perfect for the job - and the job SHOULD DEFINITELY be given Elder status, IMO... But anyway, I was wondering when posting changes, should we just post the change itself or the entire new work? Posting the entire edited work would take a lot of space, especially for a major re-editing schlep like me. And I hate to admit it, but I have actually edited a post 8 MONTHS after I posted it. Also, what of discussions of writing itself? Can that be done in threads in the workshop, or is that more of a subject for somewhere else? Thanks, ~Zool~ King of Nothing, Lord of Nobody, but thoroughly in charge of how I feel about that

This is one of the reasons for feedback to be exclusivly posted in the Critic's Corner. The reasoning behind this is that I believe it is easier to see the evolution of a work in this way. Viewing only the changing aspect may cause a loss of the bigger picture. Also find where the changes fit in would be difficult for a post main times reworked. I'm fairly sure the following is and unnecessary statement, but copying and pasting speeds the process greatly. As far as computer memory allotments, I'm not sure how EZboard does that kind of thing. I think that the writer's workshop would be an okay place to discuss writing techniques in general. I look forward to seeing your views.

Is it okay to put author's comments in the same post in the WW to kind of highlight what I was shooting for and where I made changes? I agree that discussion should be in this forum, and will keep all comments here if you want, but for the author or someone trying to follow the evolution of a piece it seems easier to keep that in the same thread. Thanks, ~Zool~ King of Nothing, Lord of Nobody, but thoroughly in charge of how I feel about that.

I will however say thay by doing this you might limit the commentary, because it provides direction. It will however be useful too. So in short: Yes.

(Suprised? I'm not!) Seeing as Zool started asking questions here, I'll follow suit. What does WW stand for? Is the format for commenting on a work WW/Title/Author? Are mullets out of style now? Is Nyark the moderator of this here thread? Does Nyark have loads of authority? Did I spell authority right? How do you pronounce Nyark? *scampers off to think of more questions* ---Vlad the Imploder--- No relation to Vlad the Impaler "If I had $75 for every time that happened, by the way, it'll cost you $75..." -Dr. Hibbert "Hello, everybody!" -Dr. Nick

Writers Workshop Is the format for commenting on a work WW/Title/Author? When commenting on work from the Writer's Shop WW/Title/Author is the format to address a response. All responces to a Writer's Workshop work are to be mad ein the Critic's Corner. Are mullets out of style now? Most definatly Is Nyark the moderator of this here thread? No, but I do have another y Does Nyark have loads of authority? Only in the Writer's Workshop Did I spell authority right? I don't have a clue How do you pronounce Nyark? Ny = Ni(as in night) Yark = y(as in you) + (ark in dark)
