As a writer I have always read that in order to stay true to the craft you must continue to read other authors.
I am quite adept at that, I truely live to read, so I also blog reviews. I do this for the author to help them find a readership.
Occasionally someone will take notice of my reviews and let me know what they think, and I appreciate both the good and the bad.
The only way to grow in any field is through absolute candor. I will say that I am always pleased when I get kudos.
I have attached the article and have read a few others by this author and find them thoughtful and at times inspiring. Check it out for yourself.
