Here is my new absolute rule for responding to a critique group’s suggestions
Don’t bristle. Silently take what you like, ignore what you don’t, especially when it sounds like a line from a class.They haven’t read the whole novel and they may not remember the last section they did, so some things won’t make sense to. Also, taste varies from person to person.**
*File under, “Do as I say, not as I do.”
**And nobody’s will ever be as excellent as yours. HAHAHAHA
An Actor, a Writer, and a Rabbi's Wife Walk into a Bar... 
LMAO!
I’ve had mostly good experiences from critique groups and received good info back that truly helped me.
But, there was…that one time.
I submitted a CHARACTER SKETCH and asked for feedback. a woman responds – never addressing the character sketch, but instead goes on to OUTLINE MY STORY, telling me the items I should include and characters I should add.
Wait, what?
LMAO!

Maybe she was applying for the position of ghostwriter.
