Hi All I was a member a few years ago and enjoyed the experience. For me writing brings up a lot of shame, something I've been working on for many years. At the same time, it also brings up a lot of joy, so I spend a lot of time wrestling with myself, lol! What I like most about this forum is the critiques I've received in the past, a tremendous way to grow as a writer! Critiquing others is a challenge but I'm learning as I read through the forums. Cheers Derryl
Put on your readers hat, and go through the story. Note what does and doesn't work for you as a reader. Then think about why a particular scene doesn't work. Put your self into the authors place, and aim your critique at what would help you as an author fix a problem.
