My Awesome Crit Partner, Erin Spock, Hold On To Your Bloomers!

We all could use a hand with our writing. Whether its to check for form, pace, cheesy dialogue...getting our stuff in front of other writers for critique is really important.  


But how do you find a decent crit partner?  One you don't want to strangle...one that pushes you to be a better writer?


If you'd like to find out, then pop on over to EA West's blog, The West Corner. You may find my article, How To Find A Critique Partner, helpful.


I will be on Blog Talk Radio today chatting with Jo-Anne Vandermeulen on her show, Authors Articulating! It's live...stop by for a chat and some fun!

Should You Go?

With the economy like it is, we all have to be extra thoughtful about how we spend money. Something like a conference might get scratched off your list...but wait!  That may be a bad idea.


Want to know why?

And Now......A TAG!


Francine over at Romancing The Blog tagged me with a 7 Question Tag so here goes!

• Do you think you're hot?  Only in the summer or after running...other than that -- meh!

• Upload a picture or wallpaper you're using at the moment...

I'm writing a Gothic romance so this is my inspiration.

• When was the last time you ate chicken meat? Yesterday. We're big white meat consumers in the Byrnes Family.

• The song you listened to recently? 

• What were thinking about when as you were doing this? I was thinking about how fun it would be to go camping soon. I really have a hankering for s'mores right now!

• Do you have nicknames? What are they? My family calls me Rocky and my friends call me Coco.

• Tag 8 other bloggers: Erin Spock, Myne Whitman, Lynnette Labelle, Hart Johnson, J.C. Martin, Alex J. Cavanaugh, Roland Yeomans, Nas Dean
