I have a question to pose to the world.
How on Earth do writers without critique partner(s) make decent stories?!
I think brutally honest critique partners are an absolute must. I don’t know what I’d do without mine.
If my story is wonderful, brilliant, amazing… they tell me.
If my story is contrived, convoluted, plotless… they tell me.
If my characters are intriguing, quirky, empathetic… they tell me.
If my characters are unmotivated, boring, pathetic… they tell me.
They let me know when I crack them up and they let me know when their eyes glaze over.
They let me know when it’s too much and they let me know when it’s not enough.
Feedback like that is priceless. My CPs help me be a better writer.
So here’s a big shout-out of thanks to Kel, Manda, Lacey, Jacqueline and Darcy. You guys rock.
woo hoo!!!
And to answer your question, I have NO &$*%ing idea.
