Well, everyone else has one - critique pledge

dahmnait · Dec 3, 2006

Word counts are difficult when you are talking about poetry, but how about critiques? I can't do much, but with the time I have I should be able to do one critique in per day. Anyone want to join me?

(Putting this out here keeps me honest. I have to follow through now.

good idea Tammy.
I will commit to three a week. for now. ( I know it's not much but it's more than I have been lately)

I salute, you, damhnait and p.h.

I'm in for one every day, until my vacation (December 20, your time) and I'll try to exceed it.

Committment?! :e2thud:

Okay, 2 a week. I know I can handle at least that. And, like Rob, I'll try to exceed.

I will commit to critiquing at least three poems for every one I post.

This is cool.

You guys rock.

I have to revise my pledge though. Instead of one a day I will do 7 a week. I have been so busy the last two days that I have been unable to spend the time these poems deserve.

Oh shi+, it's been a week and I have zero crits!

I'm a failure! I couldn't even handle 2!

ETA: Okay, I just got my 2 in for this week. Maybe I can play catch-up later.

lol. At least you remembered.

I'm not sure I got in all 7. I did as many as I could. Reading 55 poems took up a bit of my allotted 'serious' board time. Now that I have voted, I can get back to crits.

A. Hamilton · Dec 12, 2006

Oops, a week has passed?
I only did two, and one barely counted as a crit, more like a comment.
OK, I'm still going to shoot for three this week. Since I'm done voting.

this code has proven quite successful in other online poetry communities and ensures that critiques keep pace, if not outpace, posts of work.

A. Hamilton · Dec 12, 2006

That would be too easy for me. I probably crit twenty or more to one poem posted.

Same here. In 15 months, I've submitted 8 poems for critique here.

Maybe we should be pledging to write more poetry.
Did I say that?
