I agree, there is going to be something in the critique that will give you information on how to correct a challenge that other readers may have in the future. D.

Belonging to a critique group is a must. And, listening to critiques with an open ear is a good thing. Not that you have to listen to every comment, but it's a good idea to weigh them all and see which have merit.<br /><br />I love your example of showing and telling!<br />Karen Cioffihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15492421057039326702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6411231637771693377.post-39089857853663517912014-04-08T23:19:23.934-04:002014-04-08T23:19:23.934-04:00Thank you, Heidi, for these great hints.
