“Critiquing” is not “Editing”

August 27th, 2009 by Halsted M. Bernard

Daily Writing Tips is an outstanding blog for writers, providing concise posts about honing our skills.

This excellent reminder comes from the post “Critiquing” is not “Editing”:

Critiquing is not the same as editing. If the friend is “editing drastically,” the result is no longer a critique but a rewrite.

Sometimes we can forget this, eager as we are to accept help from others, and lose our voice in the process.

I encourage you to visit Daily Writing Tips every day for insightful advice like this.
