Reader Feedback
Wednesday, October 8th, 2008
So I’m going to cheat this week.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. *covering ears and mumbling* Pirate.
In the world of fiction writing the only feedback we get are through our readers. May it be critique partners, writing groups, reading groups, girlfriend sleepovers, trusted family members, a random person sitting beside you at the library- whatever, it doesn’t matter- forget the details. What matters here is that these people you let into your world they are all readers, voyeurs into the world you’ve created for your characters and they are who helps you decide if what you’re doing is actually working or not. Feedback invaluable to a writing career. It helps grow character. Or atleast that’s what I like to tell myself while I’m huddled up in the dark thinking of new ways to torture someone.
Since, I think one of the most important aspects of a writer’s perspectives is what they gain from reader feedback that’s why I’m coming to you today. I may not be published. Hell, I may not have even finished a manuscript yet, but I write these blogs every week and I want to hear from you. You’ve faithfully stepped on board the ship every weekday for almost a year and you’ve heard us talk about a variety of things. What do you want to read about? What makes you want to respond to our outlandish antics? Is it a particular subject or topic, or is it how you relate to someone else?
So let me have it. What topic in regards to reading, writing and the such do you want me to blog about? What would you like to see me discuss in my own pathetically weird way on Wednesdays?
This is your time to use your voice. Though, you might need to yell over the commotion. I have a feeling the capt’n is going to have a conniption.
Anything you throw out there, as long as it’s deemed readable materal for a open form blog, I will write about and discuss on my blog days. So it’s all up to you today. Good luck.
