My heart was pounding. <br /><br />Of course, I was also sort of auditioning for membership in the group too. A group dynamic is a delicate thing and a new person can enhance or totally throw off the balance. Fortunately, they decided I had something to bring to the table. I learned so much about writing from those ladies.EmilyBryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03542349086762747179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3217012316587200736.post-18269945036314676442010-04-06T23:37:13.663-04:002010-04-06T23:37:13.663-04:00It takes a lot to be confident enough to let someo...It takes a lot to be confident enough to let someone critique your work. Getting the mindset that it is critiquing not criticizing can't be easy. Once you find the right person, I'm sure it can be fun. You are so lucky you have found such a good match. You have a good point about being from different genres giving you a better perspectives for clarity.librarypatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3217012316587200736.post-71171669333505187922010-04-06T18:07:59.050-04:002010-04-06T18:07:59.050-04:00Hello Viking Princess!

I've learned a lot and it's so cool of you to share your thoughts and experiences with us.<br /><br />I think no matter how long you've been doing something, you should always be learning or trying to look at things from another POV and you're an awesome resource.<br /><br />And, I've been waiting not-so patiently for the next installment of your online novel... *eyes you*Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17774647553760700746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3217012316587200736.post-71877266630063872002010-04-06T10:10:41.332-04:002010-04-06T10:10:41.332-04:00Have fun.
