Helps me get reader reaction as I'm going. I don't always change what they say, but it gives me something to think about and there are times I wonder why I didn't see it and then it helps so I don't have to change as much later. <br /><br />Then I have my other readers who read the whole thing at the end. It's a process that works pretty well for me.Kelley Vitollohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13304868437913885003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363187649278189370.post-58254025045929481852011-11-14T07:26:37.626-08:002011-11-14T07:26:37.626-08:00I have a strong urge to get people to critique as ...I have a strong urge to get people to critique as I write-mostly because I keep hoping someone will tell me it's awesome and to keep going, but I've discovered it completely damages my ability to finish a story. Even with the positive feedback, if it doesn't click with my vision of things, it throws me off track and makes me second guess myself, which means never finishing.<br /><br />I'm with you on this one.Loralie Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134452749240292803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363187649278189370.post-37196349691099031672011-11-14T06:24:54.973-08:002011-11-14T06:24:54.973-08:00I'm finding that I might have people look at i...I'm finding that I might have people look at it, but I put it in a file and look it over when I'm ready to edit anyway.
