Once you see a friendly face you'll find it's not so bad!<br /><br />Karen, Carolyn, and Lex ~ you are SO right! I'm glad you love your groups and that you've seen the value of them.<br /><br />Noble ~ I'm sorry that you are in that situation. One of my good friends, a writer, lives in a small town with no writers around. It's a frustrating position to be in. I feel for you! You can still work on that croc skin of yours ~ you'll need it for when you get published!ali crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13023009704454279645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26676840.post-7543823016190631532009-04-13T14:46:00.000-06:002009-04-13T14:46:00.000-06:00I love my critique group.

(Well, I could but who would want to?)<BR/><BR/>I agree about the crocodile skin because even in the world's most fabulous critique group, people have tough days. Some days, I'm more sensitive than other and I just need to buck up. They're not critisizing ME, they're helping my WORK become better. And that's something I can't stick a pricetag on. <BR/><BR/>Great post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26676840.post-2196617557185899712009-04-13T14:16:00.000-06:002009-04-13T14:16:00.000-06:00The only problem is finding writers either in your...The only problem is finding writers either in your area. Or writers that fit well with you online. I live in a remote area, and have an online group but it needs members, we just dont have enough. <BR/><BR/>But your right, you need a thick skin you have to be able to accept that your work needs improvement and that someone else can look at it with fresh eyes. <BR/><BR/>MichelleC.

They really help me see things that I may have goofed up on, and they make a tremendous difference in how well my piece turns out. <BR/><BR/>Excellent post! =)Carolyn V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15456210036213016603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26676840.post-79598606193388141392009-04-13T09:12:00.000-06:002009-04-13T09:12:00.000-06:00Awesome post, Ali, and so, so true!
