Ohhh, I like that idea niccy. It sounds really... harsh when you lay it out like that, but it looks like it works.

Oh, and critiquing new member's stuff. That gets me going.

I was in a critiquing slump like this for months. And then I registered here, and I don't know... joining a new writing board just makes me want to critique! Maybe you just need a new group of people to critique for.

Sorry I can't really be of more assistance. :(

Not a chance I'm joining another writing group!

Actually, I seem to have come out of it. I did four critiques today. I switched from fiction to poetry. That seemed to work the best. Take a break from the long stuff.

Thanks everybody!

Besides, if you want perfection, write a haiku. Anything longer is bound to have some passages that don't work as well as they might.
