Dear Nagoya Writes,
Critique and Open Reading Review
October, 2011
Critique:
Five of us gathered at Mondo’s Book store for the second Writes Critique .
First we worked on points that make or break a good novel.
One being characters that are just too good or bad to be believed.
Then we plowed into the works of Tim and Iain. Suggestions for improvement
was in character development and story flow.
