Criticism

[close] More fun to read than most psychoanalysts' writing and still as clear as doing the NY Time's crossword puzzle backwards searching for the context for a given word ... or signifier!

[close] This is a place where creative writers can talk to others about their ideas and stories. People can also join to get creative writing ideas! This is a really laid back group where you can just share your writing or get some prompts. There won’t be any challenges or books of the month and I will only very rarely send out a message!

[close] Normally, in a book club members select a book to read and then discuss it a week or month later. In this book club we will do things a little differently. Members can read whatever they want and post reviews of it. The review will naturally offer a critical analysis of the book and its effect on the reader but also talk about its impact on the world in general. This will, hopefully, incite discussions that are not limited only to the book but also look at everything it touches -- politics, religion, travel, emotions, relationships etc. Most book lovers are suckers for information, and also love a good argument (besides good coffee / tea). The BYOB club is looking for members who get wrapped up in the world of the book they are currently reading, and would much rather talk to a fictional character than a real person (totally normal).

[close] ❝To write means more than putting pretty words on a page; the act of writing is to share a part of your soul with the world.❞ Welcome to A Plethora of Pens, Paper, and Purpose, a group for all writers across the Goodreads community. Here is a place where you can share your writing, get constructive criticism and feedback, find an editor, enter writing competitions, interact with fellow writers, and more.
