I saw this last night but didn’t comment. Number 5 is my most important rule to remember with every CP and critique group.

Thanks for the reminder, Kathy. I needed this as I revise my graphic novel.

My favorite one of these relates to critiques. The “it’s not working” is usually right and “this is what’s wrong, and this is how to fix it” is usually wrong. Thinking about why someone is saying something is usually important for the author to discover from within, not from without.
