We've...I met my critique partners through ACFW. We've been together for several years. In this last year, I've noticed how my crit partners have grown in their writing. We are all much better writers because of the shared writing experiences and expertise. Each crit partner adds something to the whole--a fresh pair of eyes, a particular skill, etc.--that strengthens me as a writer.TNealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14023921664255542422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3750850891749149111.post-25848434276855100472011-05-16T16:18:13.552-07:002011-05-16T16:18:13.552-07:00I met all my critique partners online and so many ...I met all my critique partners online and so many other great writers who have helped me in this journey:))Terri Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07771622379178654235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3750850891749149111.post-34857613549175451372011-05-16T13:06:31.534-07:002011-05-16T13:06:31.534-07:00Casey saves her sweet comments for blogposts, I se...Casey saves her sweet comments for blogposts, I see.<br />As Carol well knows, she saves her dangerous side for critting.<br />Whew...<br />:-)Pepperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02771295798003844102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3750850891749149111.post-50928680576904733812011-05-16T12:07:37.735-07:002011-05-16T12:07:37.735-07:00Casey, you're so right!

Especially since I've been really behind in getting your crit back to you :-(<br />Crit partners are not only vital in giving a new perspective, but they are also important in encouragement! The ladies at The Writers Alley are fabulous - and now the new group with you, Carol, and Case is even better. What a blessing!Pepperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02771295798003844102noreply@blogger.com
