Work Room - Week 7
Given the nature of the topic, http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/504693.html I figured it was appropriate to continue to mentor each other!
Obviously, it's a valid tool to pick up - the ability to give and receive constructive criticism. It doesn't come easily to most of us - one of the parts is usually lacking. Either the criticism is toned down to the point where it doesn't really do any good OR it's nowhere near being "constructive". Those are certainly something that we've seen this season. Hopefully we can move to a happy medium as time goes on.

I know that I certainly had some observations of the last couple of weeks, and what seems to be working - and more importantly, what definitely is not.
What have you observed? How has it made you think about your own work? Positives? Negatives? Has it left you completely unchanged? (If the last option - you're doing it wrong. ;) You should always be able to take something away from reading, and observing, other writers)
Now that you are in Week 7, what are you going to do to make bupkis into something special? What would you suggest other people avoid?
