All right, here's the deal. I do not intend to make a writing journal, because I have absolutely no objection to using filters, and that takes up the same space on a friends list and is less hassle for me overall. Certain people are on this list already, and they are exempt from, but encouraged to follow, the rules:
If you'd like to be on the list, please let me know. I'll add you, but it comes at the price of a serious critique -- to wit, one for pretty much everything I post. This isn't an ego-feed, I don't *want* to see "It's just good" without some serious positive critiquing to back up exactly what you think works and what doesn't. To me, "It's good, I can't see anything wrong with it" translates into "This didn't really interest me enough for me to really read it."
With that condition in mind, if you'd like to be included on the filter (and are not already), please comment on this post.

95% of everything you write is crap.
Which is a brutal way of saying that rewrites and re-evaluation are always necessary. However, it's not always possible to objectively identify problem areas. Sometimes an outside opinion is necessary.
So long as you do me the favor of pointing out what works and what is good, as well as what's bad, there shouldn't be a problem. It's easy to forget that, but I'd like to know what is working just as much as I need to know what isn't.
