I guess I'll have to take out a want ad on my blog when I'm ready. <BR/><BR/>Jo Bourne was one of my beta readers, but she's so busy, I'd really hate to put more demands on her time. <BR/><BR/>My other beta reader is job searching and again, I'd hate to put demands on her when she's not even writing.<BR/><BR/>I've been thinking about asking you, but since we're both sparse writers, would be able to help each other much? Plus I know you've already got readers, and I'd hate to demand your time. <BR/><BR/>I'd ask Vic, she's a good match for words/day and positivity, but I'm afraid we'd step on each other's story ideas and she's probably bound by contract from seeing other writers' works. I should probably steer clear of anyone writing UF or paranormal anyway.<BR/><BR/>I can't put a bulletin out on the forum, because Margaret will have my head and tell me to go to Forums America. *g*<BR/><BR/>I've been feeling kind of stuck about this issue for a while now. Plus, I'm a total introvert, and get paralyzed asking anyone for anything.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13810750742830573486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23749528.post-1153414668487434262006-07-20T10:57:00.000-06:002006-07-20T10:57:00.000-06:00Thanks, Renee!

I don't think they have to be writers in your genre, but just someone with a good eye and someone you can work with.<BR/><BR/>I've had the same problems with the forum sometimes--not goals, but the negativity that can be too prevalent there. When it's like that I duck out for a bit, and sometimes it cycles back to being helpful. I'm fortunate that I've made some very good reading contacts there and at Surrey.<BR/><BR/>Is there anybody you've come across whose stuff you like, or who seems to have similar writing values?Susan Adrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10730673696950405605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23749528.post-1153404222260077702006-07-20T08:03:00.000-06:002006-07-20T08:03:00.000-06:00But how does one solicit for critters? I quit the ...But how does one solicit for critters? I quit the workshop because of too many cooks: too many cooks rewriting the same three chapters, too many cooks obsessed with punctuation, too many cooks clueless when it comes to Story. I don't frequent the forum anymore because of the negativity. (I would post my monthly goal only to get "are you sure you can manage that?" as a response (Not from Lauri. Her response was usually "If you can do it, go for it!"), and suggestions I should go with a smaller word goal.)<BR/><BR/>I would love a CP, but I don't have the foggiest idea how to find one who is on the same page as I am.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13810750742830573486noreply@blogger.com
