Yes, the "post-critique mulling period" is standard for me. I try not to think about the critique for a couple of days and let my subconscious chew on it. When I'm excited to work on it again, I know I'm ready.

Interesting thoughts on critiques. I have been very private about my own writing and some of it is that I don't know how to take critiques. Which I just kinda realized. So, thanks!

One of my first posts on this website featured this quote sent from my brother in law: "A person who publishes a book appears willfully in public with her pants down' - Edna St. Vincent Millay. I guess feeling exposed starts with the critique, eh? :)

Glad to give you a chuckle, Tanita. We don't laugh enough, do we? That's my goal for 2012; don't take myself or my writing too seriously. Not that I don't want to accomplish a lot. I just want to do it with more humor and lightheartedness. Sort of like the approach of most children I know. ;)

Great post. #5 and #8 are so important. Sometimes I think it's best to just leave the feedback be for a while and don't even think about it for a few days. The distance can take away those knee-jerk reactions and the subconscious sometimes has a great way of working things out.

Totally agree with you, Laura. It can be hard to let feedback sit around doing nothing but always seems to be better for me. Then I can see a more full picture of the critiquer's intention rather than focusing on the words.
