I know just how you feel about criticism and others reading your work issi, because it feels SO personal. I paint and especially draw sometimes too, and I feel the same about that . I almost don't want people to realise it was me, because I hate the discussion about it. Somehow if I get praise I feel unworthy of it, only because to me it is just something I do, and as I said it is very personal. It is fair to say though that, to coin my daughter's phrase, we've got to just 'get over it'if we want to move on with our writing!

Brilliant to see all these new people who have contributed to the thread. Ashbee, whose original idea this was, will be so pleased to see all this when she comes back from holiday I am sure.
Could I also draw your attention to the two I started on YOUR LIVES, 'Just for writers' and 'Just for writers #2'?
I have had no word from the web editor, the mag editor, nobody at all re the separate slot for writers, which were sent on Monday. But if we are to get a separate slot then more of you need to PM the web editor etc., to ask. They don't read all the threads, and unless people ask them about this, we'll get nowhere.
Writerjo... I remember you from the mags you mentioned as I submitted once, so welcome to you and all the other new members out there. Seems writing is very popular, let's hope we can get something going.
Have any of you experience of online writing groups?
