The Pen of a Ready Writer

Hello, friends!      I'm popping in to give you guys a quick update on my doings.      Broken Clouds went to a stand-still when I suddenly realized my ending needed some adjustments.  Granted, I am no where near the ending...but the ending is something I write towards.  I drop hints as I go.  So I need to know where I'm going to end up.  Some cool ideas occured to me (to fix my ending) so I gave Broken Clouds a break while I let them simmer.  I will be starting it up again soon...probably this week.      TCK is going underground...meaning I probably won't post much about it for a month or two.  Maybe some supporting pictures, but not much else.  Sometimes a story needs a little secrecy while it is being edited.      However, if you are interested in reading it for me and giving me some feedback, leave a comment below.  I won't publish your comment, but it will he...

Have you ever been part of a critique group?  What tips or suggestions would you give to such a group?
