Thanks so much. Right now I'm busy writing children's books about a budding girl shaman and learning from a writer's group in the North Hills, SCBWI. And this month, I'm doing an intensive on my health, using Eden Energy Medicine, a course on Super Charging Your Chakras, increasing exercise, etc. No more tired and feeling overwhelmed (okay, maybe not just as much). Let me know if I can ever help you out, Susan. So happy about your success in writing.
I'm glad you hooked up with the SCBWI, Cathy! They are the best source you can use for children's books. Keep me posted on how things go, and stop by my blog for free book promo whenever you'd like!
Yes, Susan I fully agree with you the problem is most reviews never show out the negative side, I am sure this is a bad trend, for readers as well as the writers of publishers. unless and until they tell or point out the other side how the authors can recetifiy it in the future assignments. Of course there are some exception to this some very clearly points out too.
Thanks Susan for the note
Keep writing Have a great time of sharing ahead.

Same issue here about reviews. I've even asked point-blank, "Will you please review for me? It's really important for authors to have reviews." There are a lot of blank stares. Readers who don't write, just don't seem to understand. But I'm fine with all of it because I AM enjoying my journey.
I hate writing negative reviews because I love writers and I know what it means to create a story. However, I appreciated what you wrote here about well-constructed negative reviews being helpful. I agree.
I do editing as well. The trick is to build friendships of good readers who will be happy to review for you. You have to insist on honesty. But be brave.
