Just three months ago I was invited to be part of a critique group, and after some hesitation I accepted. Now I can see what a great thing it has been. The other members have been together for a while and I wondered if I could keep up with them. They all had more experience and kept a weekly meeting schedule. Doubts about my ability crept in and I almost said no. But the opportunity was too good so I accepted. After about two months of meetings with them I'm so glad to be part of that group.
Having a critique group has helped me increase the quantity and quality of my writing. The find poor grammar. Random tenses. Lost thoughts. Garbled sentences. Rambling story lines. I'm amazed at the things the group can find wrong in my submissions. :-) Thank you for your help! As a result of their help I have found more enjoyment and more time to write. I hope that I've been able to help them because they have boosted me to a better place.
I've heard lots of times how important a good critique group is and now I can see how. Thanks, group. You're great and I love being able to say, "I'm part of a critique group."
