While I believe some words come to us from God (through prayer mostly), I agree that we must take His divine guidance for a story and craft it using the gifts he bestowed upon us. As for finding the right critique partners? If it doesn't feel right after a while (e.g. they attempt to drive their own agenda or style into your writing, rather than helping you improve upon yours), I suggest finding different partners. God's blessings sir.J.D.

I find criticism helpful when it is mixed with praise. Honest feedback that includes praise shows me where I succeeded and what readers like. Both kinds of feedback are good, and my writer's group has a good balance of each.

Scripture says that "iron sharpens iron", and these wonderful people have certainly sharpened my writing skills. Thank you for your post that reminded me of how much I am indebted to them.MaryAnn Diorio, PhD, MFAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08728569035482554211noreply@blogger.com
