I finally got up the nerve to join a writing group. I got my first critique today and I have to say it was helpful and really insightful. Some of the things I was told, I had sort of been aware of but all in all it was nice to get an unbiased opinion on my writing and to hear it wasn't completely horrible. Though, as a writer I think we usually have some level of confidence in our abilities, otherwise we would never try.
I just purchased "How Not to Write A Novel" so that I can read it on my kindle. I have heard so many good reviews about this book so I thought I'd give it a shot. I will probably post some of my thoughts and comments from it on here.
Speaking of writing tips, there are tons of great writing blogs that I have been lucky enough to find. In the list of blogs I follow you should definitely browse through some of them. One of my particular favorites has to be Jodie Renner's blog. She is an editor and a retired teacher. She has great advice and tips on her blog.
I don't have much to say today, I have been a little bit under the weather this week, so you may not hear from me til Episode One of Tales In Midtown. I can promise this first episode should fun....twisted fun.

False.
There are many good things about your writing. You do things better than certain professionals. Of course, there is always room to improve, but your writing is not horrible.
And your story is certainly appealing.
That was a typo! I meant "wasn't completely horrible" LOL. But thanks my ego can always use a boost! Thanks for such a wonderful compliment!
