A critque group can take many forms, but it's for critique only and is a more rigorous exercise than critiques that happen in a writers group, usually.<br /><br />At least, that's my take on it.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11972922749629068838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1094045454996557569.post-35280298214180724182010-10-22T09:18:34.110-07:002010-10-22T09:18:34.110-07:00Oh, and I can't forget to mention how great it...Oh, and I can't forget to mention how great it is to know that there are others out in the world who think and dream as you describe so perfectly in stage one!Deanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17958057331230037880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1094045454996557569.post-40245766100801077702010-10-22T09:16:21.630-07:002010-10-22T09:16:21.630-07:00Love the stages!

I didn't even realize there was a difference between a writers group and a critique group.<br />So ANWA is a writers group because it is so large and a critique group is smaller. I like it:)Deanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17958057331230037880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1094045454996557569.post-79588515571728012492010-10-22T07:45:02.044-07:002010-10-22T07:45:02.044-07:00Me too, Rebecca.
