So. Alright. I don't know if anyone's done this before (maybe I've done it and don't remember), but this is how it goes. Want a critique? You can get it here. Just post the link up and wait till somebody says "I'll do it!" but here's the catch: you'll have to do a critique for him too.

I know. Simple. That's why they call it critique exchange.

But there's another thing. Longer texts get more critiques in exchange. For example, if someone posts a seven page long stories, he can't expect people to critique it for him unless he is willing to pay handsomly with two critiques.

Do you catch my drift? So. What do you say?

I've got a twenty-something page serial killer story I can e-mail onto you. I swear it isn't boring. I'm willing to give at least three crits in exchange, or one of an equally long piece of work.

This seems like a way for me to get people to see my work, and in a way it kinda is. Does that make me selfish and deceiving? Probably. But, if you think about it, it's not just my work you can choose from. Anybody can use the Critique Exchange! thread.

So go! Write! Read! Have fun!

Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.
