Hi Guys. My main objective is to find a decent critique forum.
I used critique circle for my first novel, and it worked fine. But now I’m writing my second, and I’m getting garbage. So I’m hoping it’s better here.
I submitted my opening there, and it was raved about, with a few minor amendment suggestions. I applied those amendments and resubmitted it, and now it is being slated – yet the changes are minor.
We all need critiques; it is how we progress. I’ll do my bit if you do yours!

Hello there and welcome to Forward Motion.

As for critiques, everyone has their own opinion and it’s up to the writer to decide what makes sense for the story. I know firsthand how hard it is to find great crit partners. It takes time. I suggest you start off by going to the roving critique board here. Post your story and also critique others and ask them to critique yours in return.

Good luck and I hope things work out for you!

  I’m so sorry to hear this. She was a beacon of writing hope for me, as for so many others, for many years.

  My condolences to Holly and her friends and family. I was a member here back in (I think) the late 90s-early 00s when I was writing my first SF novel, and Forward Motion welcomed me in with open arms, including Holly herself. I learned so much in the time I spent here, and I’m glad to say that that wonky little novel turned into a self-published trilogy and the start of a self-publishing career. And on top of all that, I do in fact still pay it forward by going to cons to help those just starting out. Holly was such a great inspiration in that respect and she will be missed.

  The news was so sad.
  I am thankful Holly touched so many lives with her writing and teaching.
  I have all her writing courses to read through again and again to learn something new to add to my stories.
  And I can reread Holly’s novels and keep in touch with other writers on her forum and here.

  I have spent several days trying to find the right words to say. Holly and I knew each other since 1992 when I started her Writer’s Digest class. From her first note to me to her last, Holly was unwaveringly kind and helpful. I followed her to online sites and created her first personal site.
  
  Holly did two things very well: she wrote wonderful books and helped people take their writing to higher levels. Those of us who worked with her are better for it.
  
  I miss Holly. I always looked forward to her new books. I checked constantly for new notes. This is a loss I cannot begin to express.
