Happy December, everyone! Can you believe we're almost through with another year? Where did the time go?
I don't know about you, but with all the stress of the holiday season, family get-togethers, the cold, the snow, the food.....my writing has been a little uninspired as of late.
But do you know the perfect remedy? Critiques.
Yes, critiques.
And though receiving critiques is a wondrous, helpful experience, giving critiques can be just as or more helpful to your writing. For instance, if you're stuck in a writing rut, critique something you wouldn't normally read - like nonfiction or poetry. The sheer act of getting back into the writing brain can spark you back to normal, or give you ideas as to what your next project might be.
So, if you can, carve out some time this month to get back into your critique group or to find a new critique group to be a part of.
It'll be the best gift you give yourself and other writers.
