Er, not my own. Well, mine, but not a review of my fiction but rather many reviews I have written. I’m beginning to do quite a few over at Amazon (Moi), so much so that I have devoted my old hosting-reseller domain, Scribes Canvas, into a review site.
I can’t recall an exact number of reviews I’ve submitted at Amazon, but I currently have three movies and eight books reviewed on my site. Just started another book earlier, barely into the first chapter but had to put it down briefly to make dinner and play with the dogs… my teenaged granddaughter is staying with me for two weeks (pssst, she’s reading on her tablet as I type this) so that means I’m doing some actual cooking. Any-hoo, I’ll get back to my own reading right after I post this.
The thing is, writer’s really should read, read, and read, in order to stay up on their craft… some of the newer author’s works that I am reading have so impressed me, I felt absolutely compelled to write a review… reading and writing reviews, unfortunately, is keeping me away from my own fiction! *chuckles* Well, there could be worse dilemmas I suppose.
As to Teen D, when here, she is very much interested in reading and writing… hence, my gift of a Kindle to her, which she can use for both reading and writing. However, her mom tells me when she is home, all she does is read Wattpad and play games, and mom is concerned that she is filling her head with the poorly written, grammar deficient, and nonexistent spelling found on Wattpad. Well, earlier, Teen D asked me to read a story she is writing and has already published on Wattpad… I told her I’d be happy to read it, but expect Grammy to make corrections! *laughs* She jumped onto my desktop and immediately began making corrections to the story, checking with me concerning proper formatting…. I walked out of the room while she made her corrections… (She closed the browser *grins*) Behold, the power of Grammy!
So, back to my latest read – it’s part of a series so I’d like to see what happens as well as keep the reviews up to date, then hopefully return to Robert & Allison’s story sometime tomorrow. Until then, I am so outtie….
