Looking for a serious assessment of your work? Drop by and post it up for review and critique!
Note: Please read the group rules before posting in the discussions!
The Critiques Wanted group is aimed at authors who are looking for serious, detailed critiques and assessments of their work. If you think you've got a great piece of writing, gather up your courage and post it here for review.
If you're just looking for a quick pat on the back, or simply for someone to "read my story", this may not be the group for you. Instead, you'll be best served if you really want some solid discussion regarding what you're doing right or wrong, and how you can improve your writing, both technically and stylistically.
Not for the faint of heart! :)
A brief introduction, it's about an imaginary victim of the 7th July bombings in London of 2005 so it is kind of an Elegy.
I suppose what I'd like to know is what you guys think of my writing style and poetic voice, do I achieve anything here or is it a waste of time? What am I doing right and what am I doing wrong? Is it emotive enough, are the middle sections right, appropriate? Do the storylines make sense. Any of these answered would be much appreciated.
