Reviewing with River

I agree to a point.

When I write, I am focused on the message, the act of storytelling. It is a challenge to put the work aside for a month or two until I can read it with the fresh eyes of a critic, a reviewer. I want to share my ‘fantastic’ story with the world.

When I read (and review), I am focused on the story and the mechanics. I can’t help but think how I would have written ‘that sentence’ in a different manner.

I try hard to enter into the voice of the storyteller. I try to grasp what the author wanted to communicate. I try not to let my voice interject itself into the review. In this way I can share with the author the parts that I enjoyed and sometimes comment on the things that didn’t work for me.
