Coffee and a Critique

Like I said before, I was invited to join a critique group. I have to say that I did not know what to expect, and I was extremely nervous. But I was put at easy.

Some of my observations about the critique group:

  • They moved really fast.
  • They kept talking about point of view shift. (I am an English teacher, and I didn't think that I did it in my reading, but I need to research this term a little more).
  • Everyone was very supportive.
  • They were quicker with their editing pen than I was. (This was shocking, I grade papers everyday.)
  • They were able to put me at ease quickly.
  • I felt very motivated after the meeting.

So those were just a few, I cannot wait until next meeting.
