I realized the other day: we have to use critique to do better. We must not turn it into criticism to stop us. Your post is so timely! I love this

I'm glad this post spoke to you when you needed it. I actually don't like feedback that's purely positive, because I only get better when pushed with the right, thoughtful questions that help elevate my writing.

Susan. GREAT post. Critique Groups are literally invaluable. And still use what I learned from group at the South Bay B&N. Fond Memories!
