I have two things to say about critiquing. One is that I have found myself much more likely to catch my own mistakes since I started critiquing other people's work. I am no expert on critiquing but the more I do it the better I am able to notice those words that say WRONG or phrases I stumble over, dialogue that doesn't ring true, characters acting out of place, passive voice, lack of description, too much description, word repetition, etc. And making myself notice it in other people's work helps me find those same potholes in my own work.
This brings me to number two. As of today
Dianne and I still have one spot left for our June first impressions. If you would like to submit the first page of your manuscript look to your right (top) at the sidebar and see how. It's pretty easy and we promise to be kind and helpful.
I'll leave you with this picture of my new favorite place...
