Learning Through Others A good critique helps two writers. Most of us, when we write, know whatās right about our work. We feel it; in that moment when everything just clicks and the words flow like oil from our fingers, we know. Presumably, we donāt see the flaws, or we would have fixed them before sharing them with the world. Or we may know that flaws lurk in the thicket of phrases and paragraphs, but not know how to prune them without hacking the garden to pieces. So we throw up our hands and toss them out for a rate and review, hoping that someone else will spot them and offer a fresh idea. By reading with a more critical eye, and writing an in-depth critique of someone elseās story, we learn by practice to more easily spot the flaws in our own writing ā ideally, before we commit them to paper or pixels.
