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!

–Heather

    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!

Happy #WestVirginiaDay! You might know that I love Happy #WestVirginiaDay! You might know that I love setting my contemporary mystery series in my home state of WV. What you might not know is that there was a time I wanted nothing more than to move away and spread my wings (somewhere like NYC! Where I wound up living for a year when I got married!). But years down the road, I felt my mountain roots pulling me back. Suddenly, I could see nothing but beauty in these comforting mountains and moody skies and honeysuckled summers. West Virginia is so many thingsโ€”good and bad as any state isโ€”but itโ€™s entirely unique. My husband once marveled at how many people โ€œcame backโ€ to their home state here, even after being gone for years, and I see that all the time. These #Appalachianmountains have a way about them, and it becomes a part of you, a love you donโ€™t want to let go of. Iโ€™m a #mountainmama, and Iโ€™m glad to bring this truly #wildandwonderful state to readers with my books.
