Today, I'm starting a series of blogs on critiquing.
Why do you need a critique?
Another pair of eyes spots problems.
Grammar and spelling problems are easily avoided.
Clarity problems -- Does a phrase or an event not make sense to another person?
Someone else can see the diseased tree when you only see the forest.
If you want only praise, let your mother or your best friend read your book. If you want honesty, get a good critique partner.
Critiquing someone else's work is good for your writing. By learning to spot others' weaknesses, you can more easily spot your own.
Explaining writing problems helps you understand them.
