Yes! I'm so excited!!! I've only been doing this for a month!
If you've been following my earlier posts you'll remember that I wanted to write for a long time. I did it off and on with no real schedule and thus no real progress. This year my youngest is in preschool 3 days a week for 2.5 hours so I made that my writing time. It worked! I've made so much progress-obviously! I've actually got the story down and can now focus on making it the best story I can.
Being at this point however did bring up a question... Critique groups??? Not if you need them or not because I believe you do but how do you find the right one for you? Any suggestions?
Write On!
Ummm...that's easy. You join mine!! :) Actually, finding dedicated writers who write/read/enjoy your genre is a good start. So happy you've got the story down!! I wish u continued success fleshing it out!
ReplyDeleteHey Amy! Visiting from Donea's site. There are several bloggers here who have signups for those looking for critiques. (It's late enough on a Friday night, I can't think of any at the moment!) But network with other bloggers and find out who writes in your genre and offer to be critique partners.
ReplyDeleteI just put out a cry for help on my blog and found three amazing critique partners.
Wandered over from Donea's blog. She's in my online critique group, which I love to death. I found it when I posed your question on author Brodi Ashton's blog (she also has a fabulous critique group). Robin Weeks told me about her critique group and invited me to join. I've learned so much from this wonderful group of writers.
ReplyDeleteFind a local one and if it doesn't work, try another one. Give them a month before you quit though.
ReplyDeleteAlternatively, if you're up for it, find like minded people online and set up a facebook group.
Are you a member of Savvy Authors? They have all kinds of workshops and forums and such. They also have a good amount of critique groups that you could join.

Hi! I came over from Donea's blog, too! I don't have an actual crit group, just crit partners, and I found them from other writing blogs, just reading their comments, then stalking them over to their blogs and getting to know them through comments and emails and stuff. I like that way because then you really get to know them and make that kind of connection that makes for a better partnership, if that makes sense. Good luck!
