Excerpt: When experienced writers talk about critique on forums, they repeatedly assert that it is up to each individual to choose how to respond. After all, some critiques say more about the person making the comment than the work they are talking about.

Bad Experience Today
I went to the first meeting of a new writing group today. Needless to say, I felt like Charles Bukowski in a room full of nuns. My first hint of what was to come was the removal of shoes at the door because of the fancy rugs. Next the subtle: "Let me get you a coaster", followed by jamming several people around a little table with hardly enough room to spread out papers, notes, a drink, etc....while there was a large table in the adjoining area, but it had a jigsaw puzzle on it and no one could sit there. Gawdz. When time was up, I shot out of there like I had bowel problems. I seemed to be the only one that numbered my sample pages, too, and I'm the "careless" looking one.
Next time my gut tells me that it is going to be a similar experience, I am going to say that I think I left something on the stove and I'm going to shoot out of there like a rocket.

Magnetic Poetry App for iPad, etc.
PoetryMagnets 1.1.1.ipa is a free app. Here is a sample. The finished work is saved as an image that you can save as a photo on your mobile device, or email it.
Playing with the "tiles" allows you to generate some ideas, experiment with juxtapositions, and make some words bang into each other. -tp.
