I have to say that not getting critiques is dangerous, cause I tend to love stuff that I should be disgarding or rewriting. I can't count the number of times I came up with a song that in my smugness and self assured way thought it was the greatest thing in the world and then some one with 2 posts comes on and shows me how to write it better. Until I every comment I get on my stuff say the same thing I feel abouth it, I will seek out critiques because you always learn there is more than just your perspective. ANd sometimes that other perspective is the better way to go. I keep learning this again and again.

Good Writing....Paul
