So I finally found a critical reading group.

11. What's especially difficult

is if someone trying to critique doesn't read or doesn't like the kind of thing you write. They can't be helpful.

I write science fiction, and I have yet to find a group for me. I've tried a couple but didn't work out because the others don't read s-f.

I have been accepted into the Taos Toolbox this July. It's a two week long science fiction novel writing workshop held in Taos, NM, and I'm quite psyched to be going. I will finally be with people who write and care about my preferred field, teachers who are not only well published but have strong reputations as teachers in the genre. I hope to learn a lot.
