Critique can point out problems and critique group members can make suggestions to solve those problems, but it is always the writer's role to decide if and how they want to revise. <br /><br />Glad you've enjoyed the posts!Shannon Wiersbitzkyhttp://www.shannonwiersbitzky.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5499544192040102367.post-54466565194990578092012-08-25T06:21:01.255-07:002012-08-25T06:21:01.255-07:00thanks for the introduction of the new judges.

I can't help but think they don't like being given 'suggestions' to their manuscript. But that is what they are - only suggestions - and I am always glad to get suggestions from other members. They sometimes make me realize things I couldn't see myself.Janet Smarthttp://creativewritingintheblackberrypatch.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5499544192040102367.post-62780274049598732842012-08-24T04:32:39.214-07:002012-08-24T04:32:39.214-07:00Thanks Linda, Mira, and Lisa for becoming RYS judg...Thanks Linda, Mira, and Lisa for becoming RYS judges.

And than...Wonderful additions to the judging panel!<br />And thank you for the second half of CRITIQUE...just love the 'U'...it is difficult to step back and accept what others have to say about your "baby"...but I think you must if you want your story to be 'raised' to be a successful adult. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5499544192040102367.post-11009486568990176382012-08-22T14:34:49.436-07:002012-08-22T14:34:49.436-07:00Great selection of new judges!
