Not always do I use the same method because each manuscript is different.<br><br>I agree with your critique partner though. Had she not seen potential she would have told you to look for another career and not even completed the half a page. Sometimes it's fishing through the bad stuff to find the good stuff.Jen Daikerhttp://jennifer-daiker.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-804362225532927635.post-13058884541920168592011-02-16T08:32:04.000-08:002011-02-16T08:32:04.000-08:00Beth!!

I separate out all the problems associated with a specific thought or idea, and then list out possible solutions, as well as all the places where it will need to be fixed. Sometimes it's just a few places, but other times it's all over the place. Those are harder to track down because I'm always afraid I'll miss something. :)<br><br>Great post!

Do agents often put up critiques for sale on ebay? I may have to check into that. Unfortunately, we've been writing and editing ourselves a book for 2.5 years. I am really afraid of a critique after all that work. You have to be confident but humble to handle those criques.Wild Childhttp://nakedopinions.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-804362225532927635.post-59940731395489857462011-02-17T03:39:51.000-08:002011-02-17T03:39:51.000-08:00I did something very similar with an editorial let...I did something very similar with an editorial letter I received. It helps to take the criticism one sentence at a time, and helped me to focus on each comment and really reflect on it before moving on. <br><br>Angela @ The Bookshelf MuseAngelaAckermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01808259088625142389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-804362225532927635.post-11384215848629136742011-02-20T03:10:32.000-08:002011-02-20T03:10:32.000-08:00Seems like a sensible way to deal with it Beth!

Though it's lovely when people tell you that they love your writing - it's much more helpful when they give you points to work on. It's all about getting better after all!KatieAndersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15024744446466968741noreply@blogger.com
