Second Up: My New Critique Partner
So I have been stressing about this for a while now, but I finally have a critque partner for my novel! Everything is going great and she is a New Adult writer like me! It's fate. She found me on the forum Romancedivas.com which I highly recommend to anyone who is writing any kind of romance whether it be YA, Adult, New Adult, or Erotica. It's an awesome resource. Her story is awesome and I am having a blast editing her work and she really likes my story as well. Oh, for those of you who don't know your critque partner is your lifeline as a writer. You may have a story, but your partner finds what's wrong with your story before you contact agents and go through all the crap to get published. So I am so relieved to have found one!
Third Up: The Sequel
I have been blogging about my sequel for a while and with the last 100 pages to put into the computer to edit I finally decided to post a line from the book. I was going to do a full scene, but since you haven't read the first that would just be spoiling wouldn't it??? So here's a sample:
From The Bringer's Quest:

Nice on finding the critique partner! I've never been able to find one so hopefully that will happen soon. And I will definitely check out that website (I write YA)
That place is seriously amazing. There are published authors who give you advice in the forums it's a huge community of people who write romance. I actually posted a comment on my partners thread and that's how she found me. There is also a whole section where you can post a listing for partner so definitely check it out. Also check out your local chapter of RWA that's also a good way to find one. You should post an excerpt of your work I'd love to read it:)
I am glad you found a good CP, they can be very hard to find sometimes! Loved the few first lines you gave us!!
Thanks so much! The sequel was a blast to write :)
Congrats on the new partner! And thanks so much for stopping by my blog!
