Don't defend


It is embarrassing, if not outright humiliating, to get caught defending your work against corrections offered in a critique group.  But, and this is a big but, everybody does it, including the ones who most vociferously object when it is done by some member other than themselves.   

So why don’t we cut each other some slack?  We acknowledge that our work is our baby, and defending it almost irresistible.  But we jump with both feet on the member who succumbs .
