Reviewing

Post 1

Clarissa

Interesting how much I am learning by reviewing. In the beginning, it was my way of evading the issue, wanting to write but unable to do so. Probably too little faith in my abilities. No, I'm not afraid of criticism - I can take the rotten tomatoes - but reviewing has meant my writing MORE than if I were writing CREATIVELY (whatever THAT may mean!).
I try to be fair, I try to stay objective, I actually try to help - in some cases, I think I do.
All this will eventually lead to my writing myself - and better writing. If it doesn't, I'll be sorry - if it does, I shall be inordinately grateful to GW for the idea of writing and allowing US to review. I am literally learning every day...
