I just sent the first six scenes of my WIP to my critique group.
It’s the first time I’ve shared my writing with anyone.
I want their feedback so badly…
But I’m also dreading it.

Dear #writers,
How do you deal with someone who consistently half-asses critiques in a critique group? Esp in a full-manuscript swap?
And I mean they less-than-half-ass it. Like, they glanced at the pages without reading.
