One of my sons is also a writer so I can count on an honest critique from him. As in- "LOL Mom, I think you described every blade of grass in that scene, I was starting to drift off there." <br /><br />Constructive criticism is what I crave!

It's a real family thing.<br /><br />Jessica, it's great to have a supportive family, they are helpful in their own way.<br /><br />Jody, It's neat your mom writes too. Even if it is hobby writing, you are both able to share the fun of "creating a story."<br /><br />LW, I bet bouncing your ideas off of your brother helps a little.Katie Salidashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15159923761047042193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-919894200039153342.post-61365297313012503052009-06-22T12:30:47.140-07:002009-06-22T12:30:47.140-07:00My brother writes, but he's not trying to get ...My brother writes, but he's not trying to get published. He just does it for fun. I do bounce my ideas off of him, and he's very honest. It's helpful. Like Tess, my mom is overly proud of me! I don't have much luck getting an honest critique out her.
