hi, here's a quick #writetip list of links re: critique partners: what they are, how to find one + how to be a good one, but basically:
-they're the bee's knees + can prove to be immensely helpful, indispensable even
-being someone's critique partner can help YOU write better!

1) this @BYOMentor post by @JMCwrites is a great place to start; it's about the importance of building your own writing community and it's got actionable advice on how to find (and keep) critique partners for writers at any stage

2) i also like this post by @KMWeiland because it provides solutions for one of every writer's worst nightmares: what if my critique partner is wrong for me? plus it's got a list and lists are also the bee's knees https://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/how-to-find-the-right-critique-partner/
3) and this post by @ml_keller is one of my favorites for how thoroughly it lays out exactly what you should (and should not) do if you want to be a good critique partner http://themanuscriptshredder.com/how-to-be-a-good-critique-partner/
so in case you need to hear this: please, stop writing into the void and seek feedback on your work! the mere process of exchanging pages and ideas on storytelling and craft has tremendous value i promise, plus, you know, you might make a friend
