Because I learn so much from everyone else's critiques of other people's work. When we're in session I can always tell when one of us has hit on an important point, like flipping chapters or fixing an inconsistent POV, because the group reacts as a whole, even if silently. It's as if there's a silent chime that rungs through the group.Ariel Zeitlin Cookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16598505786851656235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265428284848727164.post-76281082574111470562012-03-30T17:38:33.187-04:002012-03-30T17:38:33.187-04:00Before belonging to our critique group, I belonged...Before belonging to our critique group, I belonged to a wonderful online critique group. The group policy asked that you write your own critique before looking at the critiques of others. I found that important to keep the critiques from becoming "groupthink". But after we had written our own critique, we got to have the type of conversations we would have at an in person meeting. This worked great!Brianna Caplan Sayreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10137299043891966903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265428284848727164.post-82214352924792785622012-03-30T16:07:05.635-04:002012-03-30T16:07:05.635-04:00I always learn from critiques -- of my own work, a...I always learn from critiques -- of my own work, and others.

It fits busy schedules and allows meeting with people who are long distance. The group I'm in does send critiques for all to see. Everyone stays in the loop and benefits that way. My online critique group rocks!<br /><br />Linda A.Linda A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16517546647672781332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265428284848727164.post-21580202934373027642012-03-29T15:51:38.174-04:002012-03-29T15:51:38.174-04:00I think Gale poses a good question -- and not just...I think Gale poses a good question -- and not just for Eileen's situation.<br /><br />I know there have been times where I have sent or received a post-meeting email following up on our discussion. Thoughts occur or are clarified and the critiques has evolved.<br /><br />In that case, I've always sent or received a solo email, but who knows what helpful comments might come from other members if they are included in an email chain?J.A.

That way, the critique is shared in a cyberspace "meeting."<br /><br />Anyone else in favor of this?Gale Sypher Jacobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01167465000672443273noreply@blogger.com
