Before the Sea

White_Feather:

We're thrilled to have you Julie!

As far as 'critique' goes -- it is incredibly useful to hear what you like and don't. Even if it's not 'technical'  Just offer a 'why' -- that's all. "Love it!" or "Good job!" is a nice 'ego pat' but "I really liked line a, and the use of this word and that word. I didn't like the way line 3 sounded when i read it aloud." -- nothing technical there..but it's incredibly useful to the writer to know what is working. No one, not me, not leanne, not Fred, not Derma, Not Shannon, Not Jen, Not Mandi... no one.. not a single one of us is above questioning. It hurts me when people think they're not good enough to comment... Everyone is good enough, and no one is too good to be criticized. So... jump in! Don't be scared. You are ALREADY an important part of the community. We need you way more than you need us. Wel..maybe not all of us, but i do.
