Hi Dave Ronnert ![]() Welcome to Writing.Com and thanks for the post! ![]() I don't think you're overthinking things. I have to agree with you. It's not easy to review others — it's nerve-racking at best, and I felt the same way when I first joined. There's nothing wrong with leaving your 'reaction' to a piece of writing here. I think most Author's appreciate knowing how someone reacts to their writing. The technical side of the review isn't easy either, so I wouldn't worry about that side of it. For me, I found the more I reviewed the more I was able to catch those type of 'technical' mishaps, but the easiest thing is to do what you're comfortable with while reviewing. Don't force yourself to review something you don't like. If you want to read longer works, there's plenty of them here. ![]() I see you have posted your first item. Nice! You've written an opening chapter, so if you want to review others who write chapters or longer works, I'd say to visit the review pages where Author's are asking for a review. You can even find other novel writer's there, too. At "Please Review" ![]() Same here at "The Shameless "Plug" Page" ![]() You can also post your chapter at either one of these forum too! In the meantime, I will be happy to review your opening chapter, but it might take me a few days. I'll try my best. ![]() Thanks again for the post. I'm glad you stopped by, and if you have any questions or comments, feel to post them here or email me. I hope you enjoy the site! Happy writing! ~Lornda |
