At a recent readers luncheon, I was paired with a young writer who unfortunately knew everything that was to know about the craft of writing. It may sound a bit judgmental but I picked up on the warning signs almost immediately. According to her, the writing groups she had visited ‘just didn’t get her style.’ She refused to part of a critique group because in the past, they ‘tried to change my voice’ with corrections and suggestions. She finally told me she didn’t need nor want any help.
