Critique Group part 3
Aug. 10th, 2020 04:41 pmLast night, the same lady who insulted me submitted two sex scenes for critiquing. She's a very "artistic" literary writer, so they were tame scenes that were well done. After we critiqued her, she went on a long ramble about how she would never write a sex scene to titillate and ew how disgusting and boring and so not literary and she finds sex scenes and war scenes so booooooring.
Meanwhile, I'm writing a paranormal fic with romance elements. She wasn't there for the sex scenes (which I did not submit for critique because I didn't think it was the audience for it) but...
GAH!!!!!
The problem is, I get some really good feedback and advice from a couple of the other people. I don't want to leave, but if certain people are going to look down their noses at what I write... do I really want to stay?
