Newbie at critiquing

Started this discussion. Last reply by Kathryn C. Lang Dec 20, 2011. 8 Replies

Caryl commented on the blog post 'My Son is Perfect: How to Write (Honestly) About Our Kids'
"I'll give that a try- writing as if no one will ever read it. I've gotten that advice before: "Just get it written," so maybe it's time to pay attention and do it. Honestly, though, I do hope it will be read someday by other…"

Caryl commented on the blog post 'Seal Press Publishing Contract: Contest Guidelines'
"Wow. I was just reading Cami Ostman's proposal. I had no idea proposals are meant to be that long. I had a newspaper column with a strict word count- 500 words. I've been trained to edit, cut, get to the point, don't waste…"

"Thanks so much for walking us through the process! Not sure I'm ready to submit, but maybe this will turn into one of those writing-a-book-report-the-night-before-it's-due situations. The pressure of a deadline may just make me brilliant.…"

Hello, Caryl. I love how you spell your name, btw. I'm glad to meet you and happy to add you to my friend's list. I don't often get to come onto this site and play. Unfortunately, I don't get to play anywhere very often. I'm hoping to remedy that in the near future. Take care and have a great weekend.

Thanks for the friend request, Caryl. Apologies for the delay! I look forward to reading your work. Cheers!

so sorry I didn't get back to you a lot sooner. I have been struggling with finding the time for being on this page b/c everytime I do I don't get anything else done. I own/run a B&B and it is so much fun and takes a lot of my creative energy. Also I am finding it hard to stay inside and write so I am making a place outside that I can take my computer and enjoy the great outdoors and write. Thanks for friending me and again sorry so late.

Nice to meet you here. Are you busy writing? I started a YA novel and am in the mood. Yeah!

Hi, Caryl!  Thanks for friending me!  I've been missing out by not learning how to get around on this incredible website.  Hoping to be here more often!

HI Caryl,  Thank you for connecting with me and becoming my friend.

I haven't been around for a while, but hope it will change (possibly when there are a few more hours in the day or I need less sleep). 

Why try to blend in when you were born to stand out?
