I had one person say he didn't believe something actually happened, and then he softened it with a semi-apology.Jessica Burkhart https://www.blogger.com/profile/01392565903843981091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767616279966291185.post-12396668659697895902007-03-16T10:46:00.000-04:002007-03-16T10:46:00.000-04:00I'd have to agree with what Erica said on the topi...I'd have to agree with what Erica said on the topic.

I can definitely see your point about how personal any critique would be. Also, if it's non-fiction, I would feel weird saying things like, "shaky characterization" or "the motivation doesn't ring true" like I would to a fiction critique partner, since non-fiction "really happened that way".
