I was in a few critique groups in the 90s -- one was great but it disbanded fairly quickly when one member became published and moved on and the others tuckered out. Another was a bad experience where a critiquer was harsh and nasty toward what I wrote...she felt it was too frivolous and preferred more serious fiction. (I write lighthearted romantic comedy and y.a.) I guess you could say I just haven't found a home yet, although my agent and I seem to have a great relationship going. She really keeps me on my toes. I'm not sure I'd want to pass it through a critique group before showing it to her now. I feel like she wants to see it the way I've written it and make the suggestions herself, if that makes sense...Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011133488035315179.post-36761717781836682662010-01-01T12:29:29.513-08:002010-01-01T12:29:29.513-08:00Thanks, everyone, for the wonderful comments.
