To me that's a personal statement and not so much a clear understanding of what we should be doing as critters.<br /><br />I would have to say, maybe I've gotten two critiques that have made me wonder if the person doing the critiquing had a personal issue with me. They were on two different stories. But yeah, I was left speechless.<br /><br />But then, after a good amount of ice cream, I realized they had some good poins. What it came down to--they didn't like my style of writing and the personality of my characters. For me it came down to do I stay with folks that don't like my style or find a critiquer that I have a better fit with. And NO, I'm not saying you have to find someone who worships you're writing and thinks you're the best thing out there. Everyone has different tastes.<br /><br />Good luck with the writing!Maripathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17889925836344652436noreply@blogger.com
