It might be nearing the end of the day, but it’s never too late to share gratitude. Today I am grateful for a productive critique session with my critique group last night. As always, the Writing Roosters had good insights and offered suggestions that will make my beloved novel shine.
And to celebrate, here’s a bouquet of wild asters that remind me of a fireworks display. I photographed them last summer as we hiked the Oh Be Joyful Trail.

Oh, to be joyful and filled with gratitude.

A good critique group is invaluable! I was part of one for awhile and it was great, but we all got so busy with other priorities the group eventually fell apart. I was so invested in some of their stories and I’ll never know how they would have ended.

Wow, I never thought about that aspect, the never learning how the stories turned out. This group is stellar, but I’ve been in a few not-great groups. I hope you can find another (if that’s what you’d like.)

I would, but I don’t want to have to be the lead and that’s probably what it would take to make it happen.
