Critique Partners
What is a critiquing partner for? They are there to tell you the truth even when you really don’t want to hear it. I sent the first few chapters of my WIP to her and after the first two chapters; she sent me a lot of questions that I missed.
I sent her the next two chapters, and she sent me her opinion came the hard truth. If she wasn’t right and if I didn’t value her thoughts, it wouldn’t bother me. The first time I read it hurt my feelings. But after her remarks soaked in, I was able to look at it objectively.
I have to rework a huge portion of my new series but it will be better. I guess you could say that a CP is a type of marriage. You don’t always agree but you still love them. I wouldn’t trade my partner for anything.

*hugs* Glad you feel that way! It's hard sometimes to be objective when people are critiquing your baby. But you're a good enough, imaginative enough writer that you can make something really special out of this series, and I for one will be first in line to buy it.
Huge hugs!!!!!!!!!
My crit partner is a voracious reader and really knows her stuff. Plus she's an awesome editor. I would be lost without her...
Hey Jamie. I agree, I would be lost without Naomi. She knows what kind of product that I'm trying to produce and she won't let me do anything less then my best.
