Critiquing is really important in learning to write. If you don't know how to critique, it's harder to write well. Everything has the potential to have a long critique. Allyson's seen my critiques on her poetry. She writes short poems, maybe less than ten lines long. One poem, I had two paragraphs after I was done doing a line-by-line crit. The second one I critted, I got two full critiques, each with a paragraph at the end of the line-by-line. You just need to know what to be looking for and how the author can change what it is that's taking away from the story. Oh, and thanks, IceDragon! One, you made the point I was trying to make about not accepting critiques, and two, I saw your comment regarding me on HL. Thanks a million, but there are people a lot better than me at critiquing. :P Edited by Likur, Apr 30 2009, 04:22 PM.

'Both Rowling and Meyer, they're speaking directly to young people... The real difference is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephenie Meyer can't write worth a darn. She's not very good.' - Stephen King
