Writing Tips

My daughter, D3, wrote a terrific novel. She let me read the first draft and I couldn't put it down. Of course, there are problems. With a first draft there always are. But D3 did the right thing in asking people to read the manuscript and make comments. Sharing your work is the best thing you can do for your writing other than writing a lot, if you recognize that your readers will have different opinions and that some will be more skilled than others. However, if you are going for a particular age group or gender audience, it's always good to have people in that group read your manuscript, if you can. If you don't have someone you can ask to read your work, you can join one of the many on-line writers groups.
