Idle Amalgam posted:Often I feel like I just end up with a new set of expectations to try and meet. Is there any easy guide to "resolving" the issues highlighted by a critique? It's really up to you on how you handle critique, as it is your story. However, If you can, you can go with straight numbers. When I have a piece ready, I am fortunate enough to have 3 critique groups it can go through. Typically I'll listen for the same words that repeat. (I.E: Start wasn't engaging, this character doesn't work, I was bored/confused at this line). If three people say its a problem, then I'll take a look. If one person says its a problem, I'll still consider their critique, but it's my story so I get to do what I want with it. If there isn't a consensus, I.E: 3 people say its a problem, 2 said it was awesome. I usually say Ties go to the writer, and I'll decide what to do with it. This gets more complicated when you are writing for a specific audience. I.E: In my group there are a lot of crime writers, so when I used the word "hedge witch" in a story, nobody had an idea what hedge witch meant. Since I'm writing for Fantasy writers, specifically for a witch anthology, I made the call to ignore their advice.
