Mean people stink (sorry, not sorry – it’s true)
The CECE peer review process is supposed to help show you the good, the bad, and the ugly of your peers’ writing . . .
. . .it is not meant to give you, or anyone else, the opportunity to belittle or befuddle people.
You can be critical of a person’s writing without attacking their character, their value as a person, or their wonderful creative capacity.
