Shannon McMahon is running an Anonymous critique session. The writer is anonymous, so you don't have to worry about hurting a pal's feelings and can critique truthfully. Stop by and give it a look if you're interested.
Alex - It's not so scary. Since we're all writers, everyone is aware of how hard it can be to share your work. It's a collaborative and helpful feature. =)
Hanna - Thanks! =)
Looking forward to seeing some new faces over there!
I'd be afraid that after it was all done the 'anonymous' writer would reveal themselves from behind the curtain and cry "A ha! I now hate you all!". scary stuff. Good idea though :)
Stopping by once more to say thanks for the shout out (again). =)
I know it seems scary to submit, but I'm doing all that I can to ensure the feedback is helpful and kind. So far, I've only had to email one commenter about his/her perceived tone and he/she felt incredibly bad.
Writers are some of the most helpful, generous people I've ever met - I don't think anyone would post something out of spite. (And if they did, I have the power of delete!).
Thanks to everyone who stopped by to help make this a success. I'll be doing these every Thursday until I run out of volunteers!

That still sounds so scary!
Huh, interesting concept. I approve.

That is so nice of Shannon!! I can't wait to see what comes up. I'll definitely be submitting. Thanks for sharing :)
I'm more willing to help then volunteer. But it's a great idea!
I'm not ready to volunteer, but I've mentioned this on my blog today as well. Always good to give back and help. :)
I will most definitely check it out *zooms away*
it is indeed a good idea that seems to be working pretty well

Great idea that can work.
