This is a big deal to me, I have never been critiqued by anyone but my husband... don't get me wrong here, he is a GREAT guy and I love him DEARLY (are you reading this sweety?) but no matter what I give him to critique his comment will be "Hmmm, yeah, it's good." He is not a reader, and he is not a writer. Probably just as well, I don't think much would get done around here if he was, he is the one who forces me away from the computer to go to the beach, exercise, and generally have a life...but I digress...
I was over at Verlas awesome site checking out the blue boards and I happened to find Dena there. I emailed her, and long story short, she offered to critique my pb! She did an amazing job, showing me the stengths and weaknesses in my story. It is so good to have a fresh perspective on my work cause I was at the point where I wasn't sure if it was worth putting any more effort into. And now, YAY! I am ready to keep going!

Dena is one of my PB crit partners and I'm always willing to do side critiques too.

Michelle, I can soooo relate about the "helpful" husband thing. Mine is an academic and tends not to read fiction at all. Finding other writers to read your stuff is always hard. On that note I'd also be happy to swap MS for critiques. Hope to see you at thedragonspen again soon, you can find my contact details there, if you're interested.
Happy writing.
