Loved that I got to be a Blue Pencil Mentor at the Ontario Writers Conference yesterday. Wonderful experience. I hope it was a good experience for my mentees too. :-) Im remembering one writer in particular this morning. She wrote a beautiful literary piece, but only had a fantasy writers critique group to share it with. They massacred the piece, as they were using the wrong template against it. She almost did away with a lovely short story about the loss of a child and the rebirth of a soul. It had beautiful symbolism and metaphor. Stunning. Make sure youre getting feedback from the write avenues. Fingers crossed that I did some good in my capacity as mentor. The experience completed the all-round wonderfulness of a fantastic day! Way to go, OWC organizers!
