About me:
I have been writing for a long time, and actually thought of myself as serious about it. That was until I joined WEbook and discovered what really working at it meant. Writing is the hardest "occupation" I have ever had, and the most fulfilling.
NaNoWriMo is over for another year. Whew!
Now back to our regularly scheduled programs.
I will be happy to read and review your work as time permits, but PLEASE understand, only ask me to look if you want an honest TECHNICAL review. While I appreciate good content, I am especially interested in good grammar, punctuation, spelling, and the PACE of your story.
My claim to fame:
No fame here, but I have been lucky enough to meet and befriend many good writers here at WEbook.
