Readwrite | 7 comments Hello everybody!

I hope you are all doing well.

Like many of you, I am an aspiring writer. I have been on this ongoing journey for three years, and now, I decided to share my struggles and experience. So, I created a blog called Readwrite.

There, I will be posting tips and things that had helped me so far.

I have prepared the three posts with my tips on the following topics:
- So, you decided to be a writer
- Learning the craft of writing
- Finding a book idea

Please, show some love and click on the link below.
Your visit and any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

That's a good-looking website. You sound like a lovely guy and I'm glad you are writing YA.
On this page: Are you an aspiring writer or an inspiring writer?
I've had a quick look at your website. I picked up a couple of minor points in that quick look.
On your 'About' page: I would consider putting this into the first person since it's obvious that you wrote it. You are a vital, dynamic man. Own it. The third person account reads as artificial, to me.
There's a typo in the first sentence of your disclaimer: 'extremes' should be 'extreme'.
I can see you've put a lot of work into the website.
Please consider my criticism as a sign of respect.
Warm regards,
Janelle

Hi Janelle,

Thank you so much for the corrections and suggestions!

Will get the corrections on the way as soon as I can.

Barbara Tarn (barbaragtarn) Actually, professional bios should be written in third person, even if the writer wrote them... just sayin'! ;)
Just imagine to be published and your publisher does it for you! :D
(put on the publisher hat for five minutes, then take it off, you're a writer, okay?)
