Welcome… I’m New Here! Newbie to Litopia

[KATHY H]

Kathy H here from the UK.
Love reading horror, crime, scary stuff, nothing mushy. Wrote twist in the tail stories at first. Thirty years on have a ghost novel written. Still working on it. Be warned I have a TENSE problem - in that I get them wrong, frequently in the same paragraph. I'm a hard critiquer. Can't bring the same level to my own writing. Here to watch, interact and learn.

Welcome

 

[CageSage]

I don't think any writer can see/critique their own work with the clarity of an outsider - welcome, and enjoy.

Hi Kathy and welcome from another newbie (I just joined last week).

Greetings. It's hard to critique your own work, because you can picture it, feel it and carry your story around with you. All everyone else has to enable them to plunge into your story is 26 letters arranged into words on a page. We miss daft/vague/contradictory stuff in our own writing. Loads of stuff.
