It always helped me to count how many times I got the same criticism - did more than one person say the same thing? I get this sometimes with my descriptions. I had somebody tell me that I had way too much, but then five other people said they loved it, that they felt like they were really there. So, yeah, you're right - see if the critique works for you.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06851403823244758904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-919894200039153342.post-592645761444659892010-02-09T09:26:20.857-08:002010-02-09T09:26:20.857-08:00Katie,

In fact, when I taught a creative writing class to middle school students, that was one week's writing prompt.<br /><br />And I also have a scene where a girl is kidnapped, tossed in a car and blindfolded. I'm going back to see if I made use of her other senses.

Sometimes longer. And usually I come round to seeing what the critiquer meant--and then make my decisions based on what I think is best. Great post, Katie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
