RE: Baby in the Blender: How I Learned to Love Critique
I've just put my baby in the blender. I was nervous while doing it and didn't believe I mustered the courage. But it had to be done. That's how I will be able to grow and learn. Just keeping my work close, only for me to read, it's not helpful or productive. Many times I've searched the internet for tips on how to write better and it didn't help much. Finding a peer review group is a great opportunity. I'll bite my nails and accept the critique.
This takes a lot of bravery but you've made the right decision for sure. Just remember, the aim of this is to make the piece better. This is not a critique of you personally or even of you as a writer. It's just a critique of how to put those words together to get the effect you are going for. Good luck!
