I am in the process of trying my first PB critique swaps this week. I really enjoy doing them but have yet to send one of my sacrificial lamb out for slaughter! Cowardly, I know. What amazes me most is how differently people write from one another. I once read a quote to this effect: If we could spend a little time in someone else's mind, we would be shocked as to how different the landscape is from that of our own. I am really seeing that in reading rough drafts from these other PB authors!
