I haven't read that one, but I'm glad I'm not alone.<br /><br />Principal Pal of mine, I'd love to hear the results of your search. Thank you very much!<br /><br />Carmela, I don't think I've ever been in a critique setting that didn't use the "mute" rule.

For some of my students, keeping quiet is the hardest part. They want to defend the choices they made in their piece. I remind them that when they submit their work to an editor, they won't be sitting in the editor's office when he/she reads it. Our writing has to be able to stand on its own.Carmela Martinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543808551988338496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934041490878801751.post-88680301640356355852010-07-26T13:10:48.157-05:002010-07-26T13:10:48.157-05:00What an excellent analogy!

NO matter how kind, gentle, compassionate the endondontist is, it's still a root canal.<br />I'll remember that and the PQP when I offer up my own work and look at others.<br />When my bear mind is ready to lumber out of hibernation I'll search for the kind of critique group you would organize!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934041490878801751.post-26228079034061576532010-07-26T05:45:31.049-05:002010-07-26T05:45:31.049-05:00I agree totally.
