Reviewing with River

I wish I had a 'good', 'set' time to review, but I don't. I have a hard time meeting my own writing goals, so reviewing often (okay, always) takes a back seat to that. The worst part is I want to review more, so I also have guilt (which is useless, but still there).

I've done more reviewing than it appears, because I do some privately, and sometimes I simply shoot off an email with a few lines if someone just wants an opinion.

Still, I'd like to do more, and it's hard finding a balance. I agree with the other comments about being in the right frame of mind, too. I won't review if I'm cranky or if I can't concentrate on what I'm doing. It's not fair to the other person. Plus I look like even more of a jerk than if I didn't do a review at all .
