But what if the critiquers are coming from different perspectives? One may be thinking like a reader, the other may be trying to think from the character’s viewpoint, and so the information they share very well could be different. Considering someone’s perspective when they offer feedback can be super helpful in understanding where they’re coming from. So, Jennie, this information is valuable on a couple of different levels. Thanks for laying it out for us :).

Much easier second book round, I am finding. Thanks for sharing your writer smarts.

Great post, Jennie. I always like the opportunity to crawl into your brain for a bit because you see things in a way that makes me look at things I do as I write a bit differently, allowing me to grow my skill set more. Thank you! 🙂
