Book Critique
Beware of people who are a little too enthusiastic with their criticism.
Our great friend Debbie Adams painted Fraz moments after he had tamed a vicious wildcat. To read the story of how Fraz did it, hop over to Debbie’s Pussy Whipped blog post. (Click on the picture to see a bigger version.)
LOL, everyone’s a critic!!!!
How do you get here so fast Loon? I hope I will be able to share your 1st prize chocolate trophy 🙂 Yes I have wine gums and spam to share with you too xxxx
I wouldn’t mind sharing the wine gums and spam with you!
I always save a few for you Androgoth 🙂 .
And some for me too, I hope!
Thank you Loon and I always
appreciate your kindness xxxx
They certainly are!
That’s a really harsh critic you have there Twink 🙁 Never mind have some of my toasted marshmallows they are hot off the fork so be careful 🙂
My writer’s group can be pretty brutal at time!
This is great cartooning
Peter, I love this sketch 🙂
Thanks, Andro.
That is a cool looking Fraz on his Wildcat Deb 🙂 Nicely painted as usual and hey I hope that you have had a lovely weekend 🙂 xxxx
Thanks Andro, and I hope you have a great week! xxx
Hey Deb I finally visited you 🙂 Yaaaaay xxxx
Well, I’m not first this week.
Missed it by that much!
I hated writing papers in college because my papers always came back dipped in red ink.
Teachers do love their red pens.
Fraz tames cats!? What other animals do you tame and how much do you charge? I have a boy who is nearly 2 years old. How much to tame him?
I’m good with wild animals! I tamed Sharky the shark, too! But I don’t think I’d want to try a human. They’re dangerous!
Seems to me you tamed the Big Show about a year or so ago. Remember, you got the World Heavy Weight Championship belt!
That’s right I did! But he wasn’t nearly as scary as a crying baby human!
True, very true!
Only a crazy person would take on a baby!
Call me crazy. 🙂
OK! Most parents are!
That’s for sure!
Hey Fraz, while I’m here I want to drop off 3 pans of fudge brownies, and a couple of large chocolate milkshakes!
Yay! That’ll be great for my pirate cruise that we’re going on! I gonna find you an island!
They like to dish it out, bu they can’t take it, Twink.
I don’t think I can take it either.
Nah, your tough as nails.
Not when it comes to my writing, though!
Sensitive area for you
Yes. I guess I’m a little too attached to my writing.
Then the heck with the critiques. You just tell them this is they way I write and it is what it is.
I probably should. Though sometimes they do make good points. Even if they are painful.
Thank you very much for posting my drawing of Fraz and the wildcat he tamed! 🙂
Thanks, Deb. It’s always a pleasure to post your work here.
🙂 🙂 🙂
How big of a font are you using? 😉
It was 30 pages of fine print!
Oh, hate when that happens.
So do I!
And there are so many that are so enthusiastic with their criticism. Bless their hearts.
Have a fabulous day. 🙂
Yes, there certainly are!
Twink, I’ll use those 30 pages to fire up my BBQ if you like!
That would be a most useful thing to do with them!
That’s a cool way to start up a BBQ Joseph 🙂
Rockets are good too!
I’d take it. Some folks are great critiquers and others waste your time. Give me the brutal truth.

I’m not as brave as you!
Sounds like they just got you to a 35 page script!
If I get it critiqued again, it could be a novel!
Lucky it wasn’t a spelling test Twink
My spelling is pretty good, but apparently some people think my writing isn’t!
Words are so overrated.
It’s hard for a writer to write a story without them, though!
How about you write a novel all based on Charades?
That would be too much even for me!
I wish they hadn’t put it in a story about corrections of the story.
They made it into an epic!
Since we are talking about corrections would it be “Writer’s” or “Writers'” Group? 🙂
Apparently now it is often called a “writers” group, but none of my editors complained.
I am for hire hehe
I don’t think I could afford your level of professionalism.
Or even writers’ group 🙂 lol
I think technically it depends on whether the writers own the group, or are just members of the group.
You did not send it to me, did you, Twink? *blushes*
No, but my writers group is just as bad. I mean just as thorough.
Twink ignore the corrections and publish your original manuscript – a bestseller for sure.
Thanks, Dilip! I certainly could use a bestseller!
I published a bestsmeller. Actually, I publish them everyday! :OP
I’m glad I can’t smell you!
Too much correction changes the story as a whole. tsk tsk to the editors
And it’s also very annoying!
She has to correct the corrections made to the corrections…
Which is more corrections than I want to correct!
That fanart is terrific!
Yes, I have a lot of talented fans, and they do great fan art!
You better get spell check on your word processor! Every buddies a critic pphhttt!!
It wasn’t my spelling and grammar they were correcting, but just about everything else!
Guess the story wasn’t to his liking. 😛
Great art and comic. 🙂
It’s a lot easier to criticize than to create!
You got that one right Indrani 🙂 lol
🙂
Cute! Could you do a picture of my baby buddy?
I think he would love it. Baby turtle to be exact !
I didn’t do the fan art picture. Debbie Adams of http://adamsart.wordpress.com/ did.
Awww…poor Winky 🙁
But don’t let that get you down
I try not to.
Poor Twink! I’m pretty sure they’re jealous!!!
xx
I’d like to think so!
They are very creative 😉
I think my critics were a little too creative if you ask me!
critics come out from every nook and crany.
They sure do!
