The Original Plan is Done! THE Plan is the same as when I started gathering readers and critiques in September of 2013. I plan to post simple short stories on Amazon to begin to dip into the publication waters. I hope to publish four different ones, each a possible book or series and see what kind of reception I get. I'll post my publication schedule and information as it is known. Hope is a good thing that all writers need to hold on to!

Critiquing: An Explanation of Feedback ... for current and future Readers... The purpose of having the help of readers before publishing is the process may make the writing better. Each reader brings different skills, perspectives, and perceptions.
Here is a laundry list of possibilities that readers can offer. Know that I will always want help. It is ALL about feedback. I need for readers to tell me what they find, see, understand, like, and don't like about any story they review. I ask for readers to give me feedback in whatever ways work for Them. I will also ask followup questions! Even "IDK!!" is an acceptable, if frustrating response.
What do people who critique do? (There is repetition here, I AM a teacher*grin*)
A Laundry List of Possibilities
