Good afternoon, squiders! As you know, the winter critique marathon is going on right now at one of my online writing communities. Week 5 just started so we’ve done four weeks and I’ve had five chapters critiqued in that time
The Benefits of Paper Edits
Evening, squiders. I just need to get through this week and then things will calm down, fingers crossed. I mentioned last week how my spouse was asking about my printing out the chapters to edit them, and then last night
Dealing with Critiques and Commentary
