A character can even come right out and ask another character the same question the person providing the critique did. <br /><br />This is one of my favorite things to do--and when it works, it works really well.Charity Tahmasebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14208740898666710699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14366870.post-84036560751151777692011-04-15T11:06:58.493-04:002011-04-15T11:06:58.493-04:00Crit partners.

I love dangles. The longer the better! <br /><br />I understand completely how a few negative remarks can stall your writing and mess with your mind.
