So, that didn't happen

I ditched the novel, writing it off as a learning experience and started two new projects. I am four chapters into the next novel, a sci-fi for children, and finished a 6k short story.

I recently joined a critique group, The Wordos, here in Eugene. I turn in my first manuscript for review, the short story I just finished next week. My wife read it and loved it and gave me some comments that I am going to edit tonight, but I can never trust her to not tear my work apart too harshly, which is why I joined the critique group. But I wouldn't want her to do that. She is my wife. If I want to hate someone for destroying my writing, it's best for it to be a stranger.
