There were some who knew how to critique, and others who didn't and tried to get you to write in their style. Six years ago, I was a member of a musical theater workshop (for writing musicals, not performing in them). This was more like the type of critique group you are talking about above. Although only with them for a year (having a child made night attendance impossible), I still have friends from that workshop. I learned a lot in that workshop. :) Now, I have a few friends who will read through my work and give me honest opinions. I wish we lived in the same state (and one in the same country!)
