May 14, 2010, Newsletter Issue #282: Critique Groups
Tip of the Week
Join an exercise/critique group. They often have short exercises that you can use as a jumping off point for the day. By the time you finish the poem or short fictional piece, your mind is ready to focus on the longer work you intended to write.
Very often these exercises have the additional benefit of being publishable on their own, or leading you in a whole new direction for another article or novel.
Critique groups learn your style of writing, and will point out what areas you need to work on. By seeing a pattern in your work, you are better able to find ways to rewrite those sections, and to avoid these problems next time.
