Critique Partners–Worth It?

Today, I’m pleased to be a guest blogger on Seriously Write, talking about crit partners for our writing. I hope you get to check it out here: http://seriouslywrite.blogspot.com/2013/03/critical-thinking-by-heather-day-gilbert.html.

And thank you all who checked out my Viking women post on Gina Conkle’s blog–I just saw your comments and responded! I appreciate you! Hope to do a vlog sometime soon on my own blog here!

    Great post, Heather! I've heard so many wonderful things about critique partners. I would certainly be open to the idea, if I could find the right person. Thanks for pushing me more toward the idea. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Jill, I hope you can find one! I don't have a whole lot of time right now, BUT I'm always glad to do query crits, or even first few chapters. Let me know!

Things that made me happy this week: my willow tre Things that made me happy this week: my willow tree, steadily growing bigger every year; bought myself a copy of Sunrise on the Reaping (but am I really feeling dystopian enough to read it? Not yet); my first irises of spring; and finally an Etsy decal Iโ€™m thinking about getting for my car since Iโ€™m such a #tombraider fan and still playing through #TombRaiderRemastered. What made you happy this week? #authorsofig #authorlife #writerofinstagram #westvirginiawriter #wvmountainmomma #wvauthor #southernwv #gamergirls #gamermom  #springflowers #appalachianspring
If you know me or have read any of my #WestVirgini If you know me or have read any of my #WestVirginia-set books, youโ€™ll know Iโ€™ve been taken with #TheGreenbrierResort from the moment I first visited it. Itโ€™s only an hour from me in #greenbriercountywv. Every year, I love walking around the grounds to see the #tulipsโ€”my favorite flowerโ€”and this year we caught them at just the right time. If you want to read about it in my books (I do on-the-spot research), check out Undercut and Deadlocked in my #hemlockcreeksuspense series or Fair Trade in my #BarksandBeansCafe #cozymystery series, among others. Setting books in the lovely town of #LewisburgWV is so funโ€”plenty of great shops and restaurants there, and if youโ€™re ever in town, be sure to drop by The Greenbrier! #authorsofinsta #authorlife  #westvirginia #wildandwonderfulwv #wvauthor #appalachianspring #tulips #tulipsofinstagram #tuliplover๐ŸŒท #silversisters #marriedloveofmylifeโค๏ธ #heatherdaygilbertbooks #mysterylover
Iโ€™m making two separate things that made me happ Iโ€™m making two separate things that made me happy posts this weekโ€”the second will be pics of a quick trip to #TheGreenbrierResort to look at the #tulips. But here are some of my own tulips pics and other things I enjoyed this week: 1) got to get #coffee @otterandoakwv cafe with my daughterโ€”always enjoy looking at artwork and the relaxing atmosphere. 2) if youโ€™re from #WestVirginia, you can guess what these areโ€”I cooked some up with fried potatoes this week. Anyone have a favorite ramp recipe to share? 3) my Rembrandt tulips that have candy cane colors, 4) my loud yet loving #flametipsiamese #cat Westley, 5) my grandsonโ€™s onesie that cracked me up, 6) more Rembrandt tulips from my #flowerbed. More to come with a tulip/Greenbrier photo dump soon! #authorsofig #authorlife #flowerstagram #wildandwonderfulwv #appalachianspring #catsofinstagram #cafe #wvauthor #wvrampseason
