*We will critique two submissions per meeting. These submissions will be sent to CapeCodNaNo@yahoogroups.com as an rtf file attachment, at least five days before the next meeting.
*Submitters will be chosen either at the close of the meeting or online, via the Edit Demon Google+ group.
*Submissions should be around 10 pages or less, but we would prefer an entire chapter to a partial offering due to length requirements.
*During critique time, authors are asked to nod and smile unless asked a question or clarifying something in their submission. This will be a time and sanity saver. Take what you want from the critiques and toss the rest. In the end of the day, it's your story.
*We will take turns critiquing a submission. When someone has the floor, please do not interrupt but rather make a note to share when it's your turn. If your turn has passed, we will allow for final thoughts at the end of the submission. Please come prepared to share quickly and concisely and always include the praise as well as the criticism. Once again, see the key word.
*Every meeting will have a leader. If Lori is not able to be there, she will ask another to lead the meeting. Please be respectful to that leadership. She/he is there to keep people on task and on time. Play nice.
*Have fun! This is a great opportunity for our group of writing friends to help each other as we all grow in our skills. NaNo has brought us together based on our love of writing. This is a natural extension of that love and should be a (wait for it) ENCOURAGEMENT to us all.
Note: I reserve the right to make changes and adjustments as needed, 'cause I'm bossy like that. -Lori
