Crazy, right?!<br />It's so nice to find other people who think college isn't necessarily the answer. It obviously is for some, but it doesn't HAVE to be for everyone. And the more I think about it, the more jazzed I get that I'm not going anywhere after I graduate.

I don't actually have anything to be critiqued yet though. And I have another potential critique partner/beta reader who I met in an interesting way. I met her on the Kingdompen.org forum, and shortly after she realized I'd met her sister in person a few weeks before.<br />I agree with you about experience of college, Abi.Brie Donninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02143675481045319013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3445138433367622139.post-9891210537668900362016-02-24T13:11:05.654-06:002016-02-24T13:11:05.654-06:00Ooo, a post on a Wednesday! :D

I think they are important to have, even if you don't have a novel that needs editing. I've found that mine are incredibly useful for motivation to just keep GOING so that one day, there will be a novel in need of editing. Also, I like to send mine chapters of my work as I go along sometimes, it helps to have someone else excited about your work ;) Great post!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17102112870911606839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3445138433367622139.post-15434647490377875302016-02-24T10:43:51.730-06:002016-02-24T10:43:51.730-06:00I love when you meet someone and you find out they...I love when you meet someone and you find out they're a writer, and then you become best friends because of it!
