Reason # 88 Why writing takes so long — 6 Comments

  1. This is why I stopped going to Critique Groups.
    Everyone was either so worried about giving offence (because the offended would be vicious in return) that they barely said anything, or skip the ‘what you did well’ in favour of ‘why did you even pick up a pen, stupid?’.
    I would leave with my self-esteem in shreds and the temptation to throw my notebook in the trash on the way out. It would take me days to recover.

  2. There’s no doubt about it: this type of critique group is the toughest kind! Especially when they block your screen and look at you with “No, no, that scene’s not working for me” in their eyes. On the other hand, my critique group’s good opinion can be bought with small treats, deep-tissue massages, and other forms of bribery. Cute post!

    • Yep, that withering look will get you everytime, won’t it.But kitty treats will go a long way to improving their opinions for sure. They earn me forgiveness for putting ear drops in for infected ears. 😉

  3. Oh those kitties can let you know when they are not happy with something! Their tail can say it all…no, no, no you can’t have Darcy win Elizabeth with that line!
