Gosh, then is sounds like you'd be a perfect fit with our workshop! Please consider dropping by and introducing yourself. This: "writers need brutal critique to get better," is the right attitude that turns "meh" writers into marketable authors. We're all business in the workshop, but not snarky or mean. If your fiction doesn't stand up when it first comes in, it will by the time it leaves.
