I have to admit, finding readers' blogs has been really hard. There are blogs about writing, but they just seem to be flogging 'how-to-write' courses. It's not that I couldn't use a course, it's that I could find those things without a blog. But other writers and readers? Not so easy. So this has been a real eye opener and I'm off to tell Mr N about it.Rhissannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09001501916407616825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262336202740698523.post-29256097222597970432013-11-13T20:32:00.207-05:002013-11-13T20:32:00.207-05:00Wonderful post with great advice:)Wonderful post with great advice:)T.F.

There's some snarky reviewers out there, but there are quite a few who give tactful, constructive advice and give authors a good idea of how readers will react to their work (Christina at Ensconced in YA come to mind -- she's fantastic).Nickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14509263760472428391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262336202740698523.post-37707552890385894642013-11-07T02:55:56.856-05:002013-11-07T02:55:56.856-05:00That picture made me laugh right away.
