Look at your work and make an honest evaluation of it at this point.
Ask yourself the following questions:
o What am I trying to say? Am I saying it?
o What’s the focal point or center of interest?
o Content. What is it and why have I chosen it?
o Is this cliché or the simple, easy response to the problem?
o What mood have I established? How can you tell? Do I need to establish mood?
o What is the viewpoint? Why have you choose that viewpoint? Is it doing anything for the work? Should it be from a different angle or vantage point?
o Have I established depth and/or movement?
