I learn so much at each meeting. At first I was a bit nervous, but found everyone very supportive and there to help, not destroy. Now I want to read your post at Blood-Red Pencil.<br /><br /><a href="http://janekennedysutton.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">JaneKennedySutton </a>Jane Kennedy Suttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12519340747761460017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757567191914795875.post-14682157935958295762009-07-02T10:46:19.619-06:002009-07-02T10:46:19.619-06:00I've never been in a critique group. I think ...I've never been in a critique group. I think when I first became aware of them, there was some negativity associated with the idea. That is, the people talking about them were negative when discussing their experience. That view got implanted in my brain. So, it's something I'll have to overcome. Your post here and at Blood Red, have helped. Maybe I should seek one out--at least on a trial basis.<br /><br /><br />Best regards, Galen<br /><a href="http://www.galenkindley.com/blog" rel="nofollow">Imagineering Fiction Blog</a>joe doaks-Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05283066862112820202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757567191914795875.post-5099495424542155632009-07-02T10:00:55.930-06:002009-07-02T10:00:55.930-06:00Thanks, Carolyn!

She's starting a blog to talk about her experiences with the writing life. I'll be passing that link on as soon as she's ready.<br /><br />Karen, the experience of hiring and working with a freelance editor will make a great blog post. I'll look forward to hearing more about that.Patricia Stolteyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17192369425956406122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757567191914795875.post-23912886809218008262009-07-02T09:52:10.106-06:002009-07-02T09:52:10.106-06:00As a member of Raintree Writers, I thought you sho...As a member of Raintree Writers, I thought you should all know the value that Pat brings to our group.
