Ok -- probably not a Tinder. That is too flippant. But, a matchmaker service that pairs or groups complimentary writers. Oh what possibilities that would bring.

Or a matchmaker for writers. That would make my life easier. Maybe I'll start that in the future.

I like the idea that there are different strengths within a group. Very important to get different perspectives on your work. Thanks, Fae!

When I decided to find my first critique partners, they appeared. We were all at the same place in our writing journeys, but we each wrote in a different genre and we each had different strengths. I thought of one as "the wordsmith," another as "real people don't do or think that," and the third as "but what are they thinking and feeling?" And those were just the things I needed pointed out at the time. (I still need the feeling one...) When that group organically broke up through two households moving and a death, I looked for another group and found WITS! Lucky indeed.

That's the best critique group I ever found too. And I actually thought it worked better for the fact that we all wrote different things. Good story is good story.

Oh, what a wonderful group you have! It helps if everyone has different skills!
