My friends, ladies and gents. Nearest and dearest. 

Everything you look at can become a fairy tale and you can get a story from everything you touch.

Wanna sorta date?

I’ve had a request to continue the ‘Let’s Talk Critique’ series with a post on behavior. I’ve got a list of quick tips on this including break-up tips and I’m happy to share them. And I will, but I’m also cooking up another crit-related idea and before I go too far down this path, I think it’s wise to gauge interest.

Say I was to offer a crash course on how to give and receive critique like a pro. Say this crash course included a crit from me as well as other participants? Would you be interested? Would someone you know be interested?

Holler in the comments. Tweet me. Or otherwise let me know and I may just pull this together.
