And often times, he brings up some valid points (even if I'm wanting desperately to refute them because I really liked that plot point).<br /><br />So I know exactly what you mean.SBibbhttp://sbibb.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-19679687426373459842015-08-31T11:56:32.599-04:002015-08-31T11:56:32.599-04:00Thanks for the post, Authoress.

But when I opened myself up to receive critiques on my 2nd novel, with only the four chapters completed on my first draft, I was defensive. Lesson learned-finish first draft so that I can truly receive what my fellow writer's discover in my work.C.E.

Anyway this is SO HELPFUL. I've joined a writing community in Mass. called The Writers' Loft and we have several crit groups and are always looking for sources to turn to to help the leaders guide their members.<br />Thank you for this!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10908672327587741187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-82225897952025979812015-08-28T17:07:23.593-04:002015-08-28T17:07:23.593-04:00A truly inspiring post, Authoress.

There is nothing like that type of clear, insightful advice from a skilled and laterally-thinking editor.<br /><br />You are so right, to grow as a writer one must let go of insecurity and embrace the knowledge that yes, our writing is not perfect, our stories are not yet told to perfection. I think it took me five years to realise that. Now I grab every delicious bit of advice or time spent with an editor, or close author friends - mainly because they see possibilities I don't because I'm too near my stories to see perspective.<br /><br />More power to you!Sheryl Gwytherhttp://sherylgwyther.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-87107742094914068162015-08-28T15:02:04.528-04:002015-08-28T15:02:04.528-04:00I remember getting a critique a few years back.

Lot. <br />It was one of the best things to happen to me as a writer! I've grown up, too :)Jemi Fraserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02214408467456320167noreply@blogger.com
