WritingForum.org folks,

Fiction Factor published my article Don’t Hesitate to Offer a Critique (http://www.fictionfactor.com/guests/critique.html).

It idea for it originated from discussions that take place, such as on this forum, about new writers concerned about critting another writer's work. Take a look if you get the chance. Hope it's useful.

The Plight and mdf92, I'm glad it was a relevant/helpful article and that you took the time to read it.

Cogito, you must be a subscriber to Fiction Factor's newsletter. :) And thanks for the good word about the article. It was written to give a little guidance and to encourage new writers to step out and crit the work of other writers.

I really like the article, especially that you stressed a couple times that there is no 'right' way to critique.

TerryI am indeed a subscriber, ever since I noticed how many articles you have ended up quoting from it (several of which were written by some Ervin guy).

It's an excellent resource, published monthly, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to hear the perspective of the writer "in the trenches."
