Anything you wouldn't write on a post-it and stick to your forehead for the world to see, Don't Post!<br /><br />As for people not being who they pretend to be, I have a tip for that (learned/figured this out belatedly, but better late than never, eh!). When you're looking at a person's profile, see who his/her friends are, and especially if some people are listed as Family. Anyone can come online, craft a fake profile, and friend everyone in the writing world. Face it, we all have writing acquaintances. It's the people who really know us, in the flesh, that proclaim who and what we are. Nothing better than family then to showcase that you are a real person with ties in the outside world.<br />Even if Family is not listed, check if there are people with the same family name as the person in their friends list. You can fake one profile, but you can't fake all those real people out there who are part of your family/relatives.<br /><br />And lol, I love my crit groups. Have met some of the most amazing people I've had the honour to know through them, and many have become fast and steady friends, people I know I can wholeheartedly count on.<br /><br />Great advice, Rebecca. Many would do well to pay heed to your words here.<br /><br />Hugs!Zee Monodeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03709226882459365836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3986523092898008409.post-35178236292339863302011-04-09T06:30:35.565-07:002011-04-09T06:30:35.565-07:00Excellent advice.

Luckily I haven't run into too much of 1-3, but I know of others who have. <br /><br />I love my critique group and partners and appreciate all of the feedback I receive.
