One of my favorite bloggers I've yet to meet in person is the astounding Carrie Butler of So, You're A Writer, and she has a special doodle surprise for us: The 4 Critique Reactions! If we've had our work critiqued, I'm sure we've put on one or all of these faces (and maybe more - where's the cry face?). The floor is yours, Carrie!
* * *
I'm Carrie, and you'll never know the face I'm making. ;)
Carrie is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI'm lucky it's usually the second one.
The last couple I got were more #1s.
ReplyDeleteI love that. I admit to having face #3 before. But I think it was just that once.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had that kind of artistic talent. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteI have experienced all of the above. Well played Carrie, well played :)
ReplyDeleteThis is beyond awesome. So true.
ReplyDeleteI have definitively experienced all of the above, although I feel like my most common is either #4 or #5, which is my "Damn, I hoped they wouldn't notice that"
ReplyDeletelol! That is true! And so well drawn!
ReplyDeleteAmazing! I have mostly experienced #2 and #4, thankfully.
ReplyDeleteHaha I like the third one :)
ReplyDeleteThose are great! Makes me a little nervous now though. lol
ReplyDeleteMine is usually 1 followed by 4.
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday to both of you.
LOL, yeah I know those faces!
ReplyDeleteThis is so spot on.
ReplyDeleteHee hee, I love them all!
ReplyDeleteIf those faces got any more spot on it would be seriously scary. Thankfully, I haven't had many chances to sport face #3.
ReplyDeleteLove the doodles, Carrie.
Thanks for having Carrie, over, David.
Happy Friday to all :-)
LOVE the "How dare they" look.
ReplyDeleteI have made all four faces. I too want to see the crying face. Although, I admit that I save that face for when I'm leaving the critique group at the end of the night.
ReplyDeleteNice work!
AWESOME, Carrie! I love those faces! And yes, I've experienced each and every one.
ReplyDeleteThank you for having me over, David! It was fun working on (read: doodling) something writing-centric for once. :)
ReplyDeleteHmm... you guys are right. Crying face definitely deserves a panel. Sounds like we need a second edition sometime! Any more suggestions?
Thanks, everyone! :D
So THIS is where you're hiding. :P I love the cartoon. You censored #3, didn't you? LOL :D
ReplyDeleteHi, David. *Waves* :)
I'm busting a gut right now. This is too funny. What a great laugh got a Friday. And sooo true. Thanks for sharing and making me smile!
ReplyDeleteThis is great. I'm yet to go through this, just hope I don't do too much of #1 and #3!
ReplyDeleteI also vote for crying face and a totally bemused "bwah? they want WHAT?" face that I've made more than once to an editor. (Sometimes, suggestions are so out there and awful that you can't help but "bwah?") Awesome.
ReplyDeleteThese are so great, they made me smile! :D
ReplyDeleteUm, yeah. those are awesome. :) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAwesome Carrie. Those pictures say so much.
ReplyDeleteThis is brilliant Carrie!
ReplyDeleteLOL. Very succinct!
ReplyDeleteHahahaha... I love it! :D
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!
ReplyDeleteOh, so funny! So TRUE!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I think I've experienced all of those, more than once and a few others I'd rather not talk about. lol! Nicely done, Carrie!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant. Mine so far has been the second one!
ReplyDeleteLove that! Great post, Carrie. I think I've experienced them all.
ReplyDeleteMe too. I'm all four faces. Haha. But I'm normal, right!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love these! The third one down is usually how I feel until I've had an hour or two to digest the suggestions.
ReplyDeleteThanks, guys! I appreciate the kind words. :D
ReplyDeleteI thin I hit all four of those faces (the guy versions) in an almost daily basis! Very cool pictures.
ReplyDeleteHILARIOUS!!! I love when you do stuff like this!
ReplyDeletesooooo talented! i love it!
ReplyDeleteNumber four sounds familiar. And it looks just like Carrie, too. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteThose are FANTASTIC! *applauds*
ReplyDeleteHaha - this is great! My crit group usually has a combo of #2 and #4.
ReplyDeleteThanks, everyone! :D
