Are you still active in /in charge of the Southern Writer's circle? If so, could you give me some info on it?

Thanks

Marion Dollar
aw, c.a.--
sorry to hear you have to back off writing for a little while. i hope you can get back in the saddle soon.
Hi. Thanks for the review of my story. I appreciate you taking the time to read it. You questioned yourself about dialect vs dialogue in the critique. The manner in which Grandad spoke was dialect, so you were correct. Thanks again for reading and leaving your thoughts. I'm glad you liked it.
hey, c.a.!
thanks for your critique. i was wondering about that descriptive paragraph...i was trying to convey how hyperaware to details this woman was in her adrenaline frenzy to survive. heh. guess i was feeling the adrenaline (caffeine) a little too much there.
thanks again for reading my story!
The solution to your problem is on the Circle forum.

Midnight your time...whenever that is. If you don't get something done (and remember 1000 is the maximum, there is no minimum) you can always just critique three this week.

-Ben
Today's the day to post your Flash Fiction to the circle. Let me know if you need any help.

Thanks for reading my story and leaving your thoughts. I'll be reworking the beginning as you suggested. I intended the story to be choppy and jump form thought to thought as he's having a heart attack and 'seeing his life flash before his eyes'. But I will be going back over it to see where it can be smoothed out. Thanks again for the feedback.
Hey c.a.,
To publish a work in the circle all you have to do is check the box next to the circle when you publish it. It will then show up in the circle forum for everyone to critique. That forum is also where you will go to find the others stories and to see who the featured writer is. I hope that's clear. It's a little hard to explain. Let me know if you need more info.
