Yeah, but...

If you haven't read this post about the two words you should never say when getting critiqued you really should.  So head over to Writer Unboxed and give it a try. 

I've got family coming in town this week so I'll be a little scarce on the blogosphere.  See you all next week!

  3. Great link to article. I don't argue with readers. They have a right to their opinion as I do.

  4. I haven't had much (any) experience with critiques or CPs, but this was good food for thought for when I get to that point.

    Have a great week and a fun time with the family.

  12. Hi, Sara,

    That was very enlightening. We have ALL said those immortal words. I like the advice the author gives. Find out WHY...
