When creative groups struggle to balance friendship with honest feedback

My writing group has been meeting for two years and we've become close friends, but lately the feedback sessions have gotten really intense and personal and I think we're all scared of being honest because we don't want to hurt each other's feelings. The work is suffering but so might our friendships if we push harder.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group is discovering that caring about each other can compromise the very purpose that brought them together.
