Stephen B. Bagley:
“Learn, learn, learn. We must realize we are always pupils. Read writing magazines and books. Attend writing workshops online and in person. Seek out authors who write better than you or have more information. Share your information with other authors so they can share with you. Read other author’s books and see what they did right and what they did wrong. In this way, your knowledge of the writing craft will continue to grow.”
Share with others, etc is what a critique group is all about! You don't have to find everything for yourself or make all the mistakes yourself. Also, you don't really know what you know until you have to explain it to someone else.
