- Critiques aren't required, but they are encouraged. Critiques aren't just useful for the people getting critiqued. They're useful for the person reading them and the person doing the critiquing. I, personally, don't give a shit whether you say something nice or not. Dimplomatic dick touching has never actually improved anyone's writing before, but it has certainly made it worse or kept it from getting better. That said, just saying, "I like it." or "I don't like it," isn't helpful.
- Check your ego at the door. Sometimes it's hard not to take an attack on your writing as an attack on you personally. Get over it. If you actually have a well thought out reason why something is the way it is then by all means say so, but don't get all pissy about it.
