Exercise #1016: Craft
Posted 1/5/24
So many things go into a scene that bring it to life and nudge the reader toward a particular feeling. Setting, the characters, even the wording can all matter.

Critiquers, along with the usual grammar, spelling, etc, review, consider these questions:
* Could you relate to the piece? Why or why not?
* Was this helpful to you as a writer? Why or why not?
