New critic group
Tonight is the first meeting of a non-fiction/memoir critic group. I'm really nervous. There is 5-6 of us and we are meeting twice a month. It's going to be a challenge to keep production high for me. But I need to get at least a rough draft ready for April. The women in the group are really sweet and we all participate in a Buddhist style writing class so feedback is based on compassionate listening. It shouldn't be a blood bath like my previous group experience. But what I'm worried most about is that I will be the hardest criticizer. Oh well, I just hope this works.
