Another historical fiction writer- we're few and far between! I have some catching up to do on your blog, but your novel has me totally intrigued. And I completely empathize with the evil job- I had one of those for years before I became a teacher. <br /><br />Congrats on getting out there and being critiqued. It's hard and painful, but worth it, eh? I've been working to critique people's work lately and it's a great experience. And I get my first true round of beta critiques for my book on ancient Egypt in two weeks. I'm scared and excited!<br /><br />I promise I'll be back to visit your blog! A lot!Stephanie Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17437077559099315853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058491976273878048.post-82157246932291623552009-11-11T12:29:36.802-06:002009-11-11T12:29:36.802-06:00Critique groups--especially live interactive ones-...Critique groups--especially live interactive ones--are awesome. You may find that as you start reading and critiquing others' work, you begin seeing and understanding better how to fix your own stuff. And hey, just talking writing regularly with others can give you energy to keep at it.Laurelhttp://laurelgarver.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058491976273878048.post-47556244899578742682009-10-23T13:45:35.650-05:002009-10-23T13:45:35.650-05:00I am proud of you!

Fantastic, way to go.<br /><br />A group is so valuable. I've met lots of great people here through a series of writers workshops, but Twitter is a whole new universe. I'm amazed by how it opens up information that I might never run across otherwise.<br /><br />Those pumpkin cookies sound wonderful, too!Kristihttp://howdidyougetthere.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058491976273878048.post-61115944633374415882009-10-23T09:34:23.231-05:002009-10-23T09:34:23.231-05:00It must be wonderful to meet in person with your c...It must be wonderful to meet in person with your critique group. I have one online and I'd love to find one locally. I attended one group and the feedback was almost too positive after I did my reading. I didn't trust it. I wanted constructive stuff.<br />I enjoy Nathan's blog as well. Learned a ton from it.<br />~ WendyWendy Paine Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15136235074351188350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058491976273878048.post-36185133114974310212009-10-23T07:54:40.630-05:002009-10-23T07:54:40.630-05:00That's awesome!
