The way I found my critique group is really just getting to know people through blogs. It didn't happen over night or anything. I just built a relationship through reading and commenting on blogs. I think blogs are a great representation of someone's style/personality. So if you like reading a blog, you'll probably enjoy that person's writing as well. There will be some people you "click" with online and some you don't. I know that seems strange but you will. Just put your self out there. Keep commenting and keep writing.Kasie Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14169629001145903361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7285879888452949022.post-31112453016230026302011-06-05T07:13:54.925-07:002011-06-05T07:13:54.925-07:00I didn't tell people I was writing either.

I am still looking for a solid critique group though.

You forgot about the part that it is important to have writing friends that you DON'T like.
