I think it's a waste of energy if you're trying to get published.<BR/><BR/>Also, there are several good online writing critique sites but many are either bait for snarkery or places where everyone feels warm and fuzzy. Neither contribute to writing improvement.<BR/><BR/>However, I have nothing against sharing good literature for free. What are blogs but that very thing?Gabriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11476963043474402248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5832635475744873557.post-80857411896246435682008-08-02T08:47:00.000-07:002008-08-02T08:47:00.000-07:00You can't steal a gift.
