I'm blessed to have a certain author/blogger look over my words. :)<br /><br />Hi Marja - Yes, I've had comments like that as well. When we select a critique partner, it helps if they know something about the mechanics of writing.<br /><br />Hi Quiet Spirit - If you write fiction, you might want to consider joining American Christian Fiction Writers. They have a number of writing loops, as well as critique groups. You might connect with someone there.<br /><br />Have a blessed week!<br /><br />Susan Susan J.

I have too many people who are willing to read my manuscripts, and then say 'oh, I loved it..' or something. Well, that's not critique. It is important to find someone who dares to be honest.Marja Verschoor-Meijershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06475263793581289701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252285009517721143.post-17175612253720406672016-05-02T09:08:04.382-04:002016-05-02T09:08:04.382-04:00Excellent advice, Susan!
