OK, so the critique group I belong to is exploding, but in a good way. They've managed to plow through my first book and really help me take it to the next level. Now they're working on my second. In the meantime, I've done a boatload of critiques in return and I've learned a lot in the process.
Apparently my biggest issue is POV shifts. However, I'm not convinced that headhopping is a bad thing or even necessarily distracting if it's done right, but I've learned to be far more conscious about when, why and how. I feel much more confident now that I'm doing it well and for good reasons, and that the flow is pretty invisible yet clear to the reader.
Anyway, very happy with the whole thing. I'm polishing my third book now and will be starting my fourth soon. Making progress!
