Topic: Critique groups

I had a guest post today on a blog as part of my virtual book tour for Skeleton Run that kicks off today. In the post I discuss my preference for my online writing community (you guys) over paid editors to whip a novel into shape. Have a look at www.longandshortreviews.com.

Forgot to mention - once on the website, click on Guest Authors, then click on Mystery/Suspense. My post will then come up.

Cool, John! Good advice, good article, good blog.  Go, go, go!

Now, with $42K of IgG each month  (240 grams !), and constant swimming, I've stabilize my CIDP (somewhat) and with luck I can concentrate on writing again. Three years of deterioration of mind and body; now I fight hard to climb back to the place I left off. 

You're an inspiration to us all here. And, soon, I expect to see a movie deal coming your way.

Speaking of media, HAPPY VALLY, a Netflix production, is a work that I recommend highly in the M&C genre.

Thanks for the encouragement, Max!

Jeez, $42K a month? Yikes! You must have good insurance! I don't know that much about CIDP, but I do know it's a bitch! Some afflicted with the condition do have significant improvement with treatment, so I dearly hope you are among that number, because you're an asset to this community.

Re: Critique groups

Great article and great chapter. You encourage me to get busy both with writing and blogging (and hoping someone finally reads and makes a comment) But I'm learning, as always, and growing more comfortable with social media and such.

By the way, I also commented. smile

Thanks, Jack. I do have great insurance, so far. Improvment, well, I'm back to the keyboard after three years of just staring at my fingers. This really is a good community, ain't it! LOL. You've renewed my interst in M&C.

Agree, this is a great place and it was a great post too John - my comment is awaiting moderation or moderating! smile

And all the best Max, I share John's view and hope the treatment works wonder for you - it's good to have you and your quirky sense of humour back!

Thanks for posting the comment, Janet! It did finish "moderating" in time for me to see it this morning.   smile
