I agree--critique rocks!

I totally agree with Editor Betsy. Critique rocks! I hope all you aspiring Electric Spec writers have a critique group. As I mentioned 19 June 2007 in the what-we-want-review, concentrate your story. Critique partners can help you with this. This concentrating idea was from the 18 Dec 2006 posting. What I didn't retread from that posting is I used that idea to concentrate a short story I was working on--with help from my critique group. I sold that story to Analog Science Fiction and Fact, my favorite SF mag--after Electric Spec of course. :)
