    This is oddly fortunate; I started a CP test run and it's good to have the reminder of all the things I need to do. :)

    Your vlogs have been amazing guidance for me and my writing! This one is perfect timing! I just got to the critique partner phase. Do you recommend finding more than one partner or is it kind of based on the quality of the critiques I get?

    I'm so glad to hear that, Stephanie! I definitely recommend getting more than one critique partner. Odd numbers usually work best (because that way if you get differing opinions on something, you can have a tie breaker) but I'd say at least two. Three is good. But in the end, I think it's important to have several opinions.
