I owe a huge debt of gratitude to my Critique Partners. They've been my saving grace this past month. When I hit plot wall, they throw me a rope. When I can't find the right word, they email me twelve different options and a link to the thesaurus. When I hate my characters, they send me an excerpt from one of my chapters reminding me why I started developing them in the first place. Without them, I'd suck. Plain and simple!
So thank you for always reminding me that every day doesn't have to be a good writing day, but I must write everyday.
yup, CPs are priceless. Glad to hear you found people who get you and your writing and can pull out of that funk.
ReplyDeleteI did, and I wouldn't be half the writer I am today without them!They are truly invaluable.
DeleteThat's awesome! It's important to have a good support system sometimes.
ReplyDeleteYou are right. I think the support and encouragement is equally important as their feedback. It gives me the motivation to write through that difficult scene when all I want to do is burn the ms.
DeleteI totally agree. CPs always help in times of trouble, whether it's with critiques, advice, or just sympathy. CPs are THE BEST!! :-)
ReplyDeleteThey are THE BEST!
DeleteThat's fabulous. I'm so pleased that you've got such great support.
ReplyDeleteSupport, encouragement, advice, virtual glasses of wine... they share it all!
DeleteSounds like you have a wonderful group of CPs. :)
