It's funny how there are only three of us who add to this thread. Here's my new one, not that I write that often.

Since I didn't want to bother you all too much with my nonsense, I was only going to post here if I did a writing post. But this really struck a chord with me. I'll share it.

And yet another update-last one for a few days-and now I spend sometime on revising a new story before I start figuring out how to do covers. All of that is in this post.

So another Vacation Update, this one also talks about writing new stuff and gives the status of my Indie publishing attempt. And a call for help with GIMP.

I've had the benefit of critiques by both professionally published and unpublished authors; and I have found these to be equally helpful...and less so. I've discovered desireable resources within both groups from whom I specifically seek feedback--if and when they are willing.
I suspect this is akin to finding the "shoe" that fits me best and not whether it is a dress shoe or a sneaker.
In making the transition from unpublished to a professionally published author in today's market, the gold ring (perhaps the "one to rule them all") would be "scoring" a critique from an editor/publisher.
I've heard very complementary things of Scott Andrews of Beneath Ceaseless Skies in this regard.
Respectfully, Dr. Bob

Thanks History. I appreciate your thoughts on this. You've been lucky to be able to get professional feedback on your work. I'm not sure how to manage that without paying for it. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
I hope one day to get a professional editor/publisher to look over my stuff. Hopefully that would also come with some sort of contract. Dare to dream. Posts: 1102 | Registered: May 2009
