Answer: Five.
One to implore you to "Raise the wattage."
One to say the darkness is illuminating just the way it is.
One to question the light bulb's true motivation.
One to brag that her aunt's neighbor's light bulb got an agent with its first query.
And one to "suggest" you should completely re-wire the entire house.
Got any to add?

I love it!
Haven't had too much experience with critique groups, but I'd add:
One to talk the whole meeting about what snacks to bring for the next light bulb installation.

....and one to look at you blankly and say he hasn't really had time to look at the light bulb, but will...real soon. ; )
Though electricity is important (just ask my dad, the electrician!), I'm with Elizabeth. Let's talk chocolate!
One to remind you how lucky you are to have electricity because back in their day .....
Do I detect a note of disharmony? Or should that be unhappiness? No, maybe disgruntlement is better? No...
Best Wishes, Galen.
You guys have chipped in some great additions. Now I know where to turn when I need some gag writers for my Channing Hayes series!
For the record, my critique groups have been splendid. No disharmony, unhappiness, or disgruntlement. Only support and love!
I'll add my two cents:
One to stare at the light bulb and ask what's the light bulb trying to say? Why do you want them to screw in a light bulb? Why not light a candle? They're unsure of the significance of the light bulb.
However, there's always the one who's still focused on the light bulb from last time and we can't really move on until that bulb is well and truly discussed.
One to remind you that by not turning on the light you could save x amount of green house gases.
I like that about peple though. Even if you don't take their suggestions they always add new perspectives to consider.
I love this! There could be the one member that insists you replace all the regular light bulbs with "green" florescent ones in order to be more relevant.
Since I'm writing a historical, how about one to ask you if there WERE lightbulbs back then?
Love it! Of course, "Raise the wattage" is almost always the best thing to do. I'm not in a group, but that's the role I'd probably fill.
One to tell you that needing a lightbulb screwed in is still a better problem to have than having no lightbulb at all.
Have you been eavesdropping on my group???
And the hits just keep on coming!
I guess most of us have been in critique groups...good thing we don't have any people like this in ours, huh?
Perfect.
