It should not be something silly, a sign that you’re struggling to come up with something good to say, like, “Your margins were wonderful.” Your purpose is to not only compliment the writer for something well done but to make them more receptive to what you’re about to tell them. Then you go to the “hard” stuff, the things that did not work, or did not work well. Be sure to explain why they did not, as best you can, and offer suggestions o...Read More

Critique Technique, Part 7: Scene and Chapter Endings
