As you continue to write and learn, you'll be able to move forward with confidence to determine which critique feedback is useful and which is not.<br /><br />To answer your question, I am currently not in a critique group.

Maybe I'm arrogant in my writing, but I weigh everything with what feels right for my concept. <br /><br />But I do "listen with both ears", and an open mind.

I can just change that, but so far I've been doing the rewrites all at once, after they all come in.<br /><br />When I feel sure the other person is wrong I try to put into words exactly why they are wrong.
