The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin: Part 5
Bonus:
Summary: Ben Franklin tells us about his friends in Philadelphia.
Commentary: New response just dropped: “What do you intend to infer from that?”
Also, he starts a writing group where everyone workshops the same prompt, which is kind of a neat idea:
On this it was proposed that we should each of us, at our next meeting, produce a piece of our own composing, in order to improve by our mutual observations, criticisms, and corrections. As language and expression were what we had in view, we excluded all considerations of invention by agreeing that the task should be a version of the eighteenth Psalm, which describes the descent of a Deity.
I've seen this kind of thing in online writing groups, but never in person ones. I could see how it'd be better than the pot luck you normally get.
