September Tooele Writer's Group

On Thursday September 18, members of Tooele Writers gathered in the Tooele library to discuss critique groups. Laura Bastian, president of the writer’s group, gave the presentation.

Information included a list of critique-group how-tos from magicalworlds.net.   The full list can be found online here, but some of the ideas were to establish the type of writing the critique group would accept, including the necessary formatting.  Avoiding cliquishness, giving the types of critiques you would like to receive and focusing on the story elements (dialogue, plot holes, character development, etc.) are also important.

Some critique groups use a timer to keep discussions manageable and fair.

One of the most important things to remember when joining a critique group is to ask the group to answer questions about the things you’re looking for.


Laura also showed the group how to use some items of the review section in Microsoft Word. Besides simple ‘track changes,’ authors can merge the comments they get back from beta readers into one document and use the ‘accept’ and ‘reject’ features to sift through the comments they want to keep or delete.

  1. It sits next to the Rolex Cellini Date and rolex replica sale Cellini Time models that are also new this year. Different Rolex models are more, or less popular, in different parts of the world. In the United States, the Rolex Cellini has certainly been among the least popular Rolex pieces because the US is primarily a sport replica watches sale or at least casual watch market. The Rolex Cellini is very distinctly a formal dress watch, that in the US has been mostly over-looked because our dress watch market is dominated by Rolex Datejust and Rolex Day/Date watches. Not to mention the fact that in the US it is completely acceptable to wear a Rolex Submariner replica watches uk with a suit. So where has Rolex taken this new Cellini family? In a 39mm-wide precious replica watches sale metal case, the new Rolex Cellini is the tuxedo-to-the-office suite of Rolex replica watches uk. More formal that the Datejust, the Cellini has a thinner case and more traditional design that, for the first time, has style cues to the Oyster case.
