Scenario

When feedback groups become too comfortable to be useful

Our writing group used to push each other toward better work and now we've become so careful with feedback that we're basically just cheerleading each other's drafts. The safety we built has somehow made our workshops feel pointless and I think we're all getting worse at our craft.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
