This past year I have become a member of two critique groups. Yay! This is something I've been wanting for a long time. Now that I've been talking with these folks about once every two weeks, I've come up with a bit of a conundrum and it's this:
Trading 2,000-4,000 word chapters once every two weeks is a REALLY slow way of getting through a novel. Like it's going to take a year and a half or something.
Or, I could pick and choose my chapters that I feel I need the most help on and send them to my friends, but then I'd have to fill them in on what the characters are doing and it'll be hard to get them to comment on a character's arc or overall development if they haven't seen the intervening stuff.
So how do you handle this problem?
