Hey Bob - I started a thread on the writer's conference I'm at this week. It's in the community forum, I've got a LOT of stuff! I'll have to actually detail everything I've learned later...
The thread is Currently @ a Writer's Conference!!! Enjoy!
Hi,
Thanks so much for your detailed critique! It's really helpful and I'll definitely keep everything you said in mind for the next draft!

Thanks! It was one of the few pieces of Neverwhere art that I could find online.
Congrats on your contest win
This will be my first conference. I'm SO excited!!
I'll defintely be spreading the word about Scribo!!!
Thanks for critiquing it!!!
I'm submitting it to be reviewed by the professionals at the Writing The Region conference in Gainesville, FL. I'll be there next month, and I'll start a thread to FYI everyone on what happens there! 
I will have a chance to rub elbows with agents, editors, people in the publishing business. I doubt I'll be picked up, but the experience would be valuable!!!

Thanks Bob! I was worried because I thought it was kind of drawn out =/ but I didn't want to just leave something lackluster lol
hi, bob--
thanks for slogging through my second chapter! this is literally a first draft, written during nanowrimo last november when i was winging everything just to make my daily word count.
you're completely right about the lack of paragraph spacing, the excessive rambling, the too-quick escalation of the disaster. i plan on fixing these issues, and adding enough of my larger story that what's here makes a lot more sense--i hope i can call on you then for another read? i promise it'll be easier going next time.
thanks again, you brave soul!

Hello, Bob. Thanks for your message. You can come by my profile and read my works, your treat.
hi, bob--

coolio. thanks for taking a stab at it!

Bob- Thanks for the critique! I've not been able to get any solid feedback on anything for a while, so this helped out a lot. I was also wondering (and perhaps you can't remember now, in which case, that is fine) if knowing that my short story was really more of a prologue of a novella I was working on might change your critique at all? I'm not saying it has to, I'm simply curious. Again, thanks for the critique!
Hey man thanks for the add.
Not bad news for you. I'll just appear really stupid because I don't know anything about poetry. I like to read it, but giving suggestions or critiques would have people ready with pitchforks.
Hello, Mr. Onnie. I'm so happy they finally changed to allow for only comments because I want to comment on your poetry. You don't want me to critique it, because that would be bad. I'll have a look later.
Hello! When you have time please read, The Boys of Summer -and tell me what you think.
Hi Bob. I have read both of your works and enjoyed them a lot, particularly your poem. My only complaint is that you are too popular! There are "way many" critiques on each of them and I don't feel that I have anything unique to add. So, when will you write more? No pressure or anything! LOL. You are such an active member of this site and I can always count on you for some good information & discussion on the forums. I am speaking in jest, about getting more published, but would love to see something more from you!
Thank you so much for your comments on "The Painter"! You're right, it's way overworded. A publisher sent it back to me saying almost the exact same things that you said. You did a really good job critiquing it, and it will help me a lot when I'm editing. Thank you again!
Hey, Bob, I figured I'd leave you a message here. When are you going to publish something new? I've been checking every day, and so far no luck. I've truly enjoyed your writing, please publish more!
Hi Bob, Thanks for the welcome. By the way, I 've really liked what I've read of yours so far. Let's be friends!
Thank you Bob, for your helpful advise on my poem "Rest Your Soul on Mine"
It helped me see alot of what I tend to repeat over, and over again. I am still learning the proper usage of grammar, in my writing. Being a professional musican for more then 20 years, I've been used to editors doing it for me.
Thanks again.
