It certainly helps to know who is giving it, and where they are coming from.<br /><br />And Susie, yes, poetry editing is a joy compared with the novel. You can get the whole thing back into your head in three minutes and then work on it, unlike the distance problem with a novel. I sometimes work on each of a pile of poems in turn in one editing session, getting as far as I can with one and then moving on to the next.Roderic Vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06519267912305907364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-6908907755916251972011-02-03T16:43:33.910+00:002011-02-03T16:43:33.910+00:00I'm sort of with Caroline in that because of t...I'm sort of with Caroline in that because of the shorter length of piece, I'd almost be scared that too many people have an opinion to offer. But I guess it comes down to the same thing - if more than one person says the same thing, it might be worth hearing? Only 'might' mind...<br />!!Fionnualahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12275984316414726884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-56646853040454073192011-02-03T11:16:25.743+00:002011-02-03T11:16:25.743+00:00Interesting, Rod.

And do you come to it fresher too?<br />SusiexSusie Nott-Bowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08428000582406338267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-48518294494070753492011-02-03T10:49:10.081+00:002011-02-03T10:49:10.081+00:00Hmm, that's very interesting Rod.

I stopped posting work for online critting for that reason..but you seem to find it useful overall?Caroline Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04708248040141519582noreply@blogger.com
