Reading only Tolkien in my teens led to me attempting to emulate his style = fail - and redirection from my wonderful creative writing teacher Roger Woddis. My reading became broader and I found my own voice.Roland Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03302133565980901397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646134662936278718.post-82164851863174329012019-10-07T15:46:20.878-06:002019-10-07T15:46:20.878-06:00Fingers crossed for your submissions.

And, hopefully, you’ll get answers and replies quicker than I’m used to from agents for my memoir project. :-) <br /><br />I agree with you that writers should read. My problem is - other than not having enough time to read - that I always “look” for the good and bad in someone’s writing style that I sometimes forget to enjoy the book and the story. I should just make reading more of a priority and erase that teacher instinct if mine. :-) Liesbethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13402741679152508367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646134662936278718.post-87216920545551707982019-10-07T12:51:26.616-06:002019-10-07T12:51:26.616-06:00I really like the cover.
