That's a good point: When you are reviewing, you are studying the works of other authors, and analyzing them, both as a reader and as a writer.  It will cut down on the time you can spend on outside reading, but it can pay you back handsomely in both learning and pleasure.  Then you have to apply the lessons to your own work!

Why not start by reviewing a few chapters or stories?  It will give you a idea of what writers have styles that might be similar to yours, and might be helpful as reviewers.  And people usually try to reciprocate with reviews.

If you need a sense of what you might address in a review, you can look for stories that already have some chapters posted.  Many of them will have reviews that you can read.

What genres and forms (short, novel, poetry) interest you?

When you type, your fingers are where they need to be and information pours out.  When you mouse-and-click, you have to give your attention to the mechanics of input.  When you have to do  this over and over to get information, it is far more costly in time and far more disruptive of your mental work-stream than scanning down a page by eye movement.

Oh, and Jessica Fletcher.

Uemiska is doing the job she was sent to do, reuniting a family.  She does it faithfully and at personal cost.  And you want to kill her off for it?

The lurymants are an inversion.  They are a huge inversion.

Go read the  chapter now sitting in Book 1 called The  Child and the Beast.

I'm working now on the meeting with Erevain.  What do you think about making the character female?  I'm not actually flirting with the idea, but I am trying to see if it would be believable, and how it might affect the future arc(s).

Let me know if I can help you reproduce it.

I just checked on the Android.  The problem occurs with both Chrome and the OS-supplied browser.

There's no question that it's slick for entry, so long as you don't want to connect multiple sections of text, to compare or contrast.  But the entry is marred somewhat by the way the input window parks itself over the text.

The problem comes when you want to read it, or put it all together, or print it out to review curled up in a chair without the limits of the computer (or tablet).
