1 June - 20 June 30 June -:- Write Your Piece
21 June - 30 June 1 July - 12 July -:- Critique Your Assigned Piece


From the first of June, sign up for the challenge by writing a short (no more than 50 line) poem.
I will collect the entries into a spreadsheet.
At the end of the writing time (20 June) I will assign everyone who wrote an entry someone else's entry to critique/constructively comment upon.
Critiques/comments are due by June 30.
Please note: If you sign up by writing a piece you are committing to critiquing/commenting upon someone else's work.


Don't be afraid of critiquing someone's work. In this case a constructive comment can work just as well.
For this purpose a critique/comment should contain:

One thing you liked about the piece/positive emotion you felt about the piece.
- i.e. I found that x made me feel happy/I liked how you wrote about y
An area for improvement/area of concern/one thing that bothered you.
- i.e. The rhyming seemed off about half-way through/I think that changing emotion in stanza/verse three was a bad idea
A positive comment/area they did well in.
- i.e. I liked how you wrote about your feelings/I loved the descriptions/Your meter was excellent

More than that is totally up to you, feel free to make it as long as you feel comfortable.
Don't be afraid to point out spelling/grammar errors, everybody makes them. Just do it in a helpful and not scathing way.


Entries into the Critique Challenge 2015 folder please or else they won't be counted.
One entry per person.
Mature content is allowed, but please keep it to a minimum.
Please stick to the deadlines.
Remember that this is a challenge designed to aid you in critiquing others' work. It is not a contest. However, please don't let that affect the quality of your work.
_{I reserve the right to edit these rules.}


Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
