Writing - inspiration. The value of reviews and critiques.

Last week I posted about attending a book club where the readers had selected and commented on my novel A Suitable Heir. The comments were all positive and that certainly gives me confidence that my writing style and content were on the right track.

It allows me to constantly hone my work, get edits, receive critiques and review my work until it is the best it can be.
