How do you give gentle constructive feedback to someone who doesn’t seem to have a basic grasp of fiction writing? Someone joined our local writers’ group and submitted a piece that I paraphrase below, but the gist is very similar. A man sits in his living room. He is watching TV and drinking beer. There is a knock on the door and he goes to answer it. It is his ex-girlfriend. “Hello, can I come in” “Yes, you can come in,” says the man. The woman sits down. “Can I offer you a drink” says the man. “Yes that would be nice” says the woman. … and so on for the next 1k words. No concept of scene structure, interiority, dialogue… where would you even start providing feedback? I normally try to make a “shit sandwich” by giving nice feedback first, and I’m really racking my brain here.
