It takes awhile to learn which suggestions to implement and which ones to shred, but it's worth sticking with our groups and figuring it all out.Patricia Stolteyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17192369425956406122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788321265914678622.post-57972188249566408532012-11-28T21:03:40.368-07:002012-11-28T21:03:40.368-07:00Thanks Margaret and and Dean for commenting! Yeah...Thanks Margaret and and Dean for commenting! Yeah, the daily devotional. It's hard.<br /><br />But Critique Groups are about making the work better. I find them as a shortcut, but I've been lucky to have been in two great, positive, constructive groups. If the group is all about the hate, I'd find another one.<br /><br />But good luck out there!Aaron M.

I hope I've learned something from my first adventure into Critique Group madness. At time it's the best, at times, like you, I wonder if I'll ever make strides to match the group's expectations/desires.<br /><br />I love you that you allow the committee have the final word. It's your work and it's never as bad as the "helpful" group comments make it too be.<br /><br />My struggles are still mine, but at least now I know I'm not walking the road alone.Dean K Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846624912452227191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788321265914678622.post-1532879595357284562012-11-28T08:07:54.737-07:002012-11-28T08:07:54.737-07:00"Hail Mary, full of luck, give me a chapter t..."Hail Mary, full of luck, give me a chapter that doesn't suck."<br /><br />I think I've found my new daily devotional.Margaret Yanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06464624057491288244noreply@blogger.com
