The link to Beccalicious' journal is missing the url bit, I think, and those are really good critiques. Having always enjoyed a good crit, it bothers me I'm so bad at giving them, I think. So I really did like the guidelines and stuff--it sort of helped me sort my thoughts. I tend to have too much going on in my head and then I don't know how to just put everything together. Nice to see something that gives me a little framework.

You should try my crit contest. It'll be fun, if not anything else.

I'm not too well. I should probably not be at my computer, but I had to do some work for *Writers-Workshop and I was curious to know if I had more entries or not. How're you?
