megwrites | Go learn yourself something

Well, the deadline for submissions on the paragraph critiques from

ilona_andrews (who wrote the Kate Daniels series that started with Magic Bites) has passed, but! She's got the first few critiques of received submissions here and here.

These are truly educational, and useful for any writer who wants to know - on a prose level - why things work and don't work. She covers a lot of topics that I still struggle with, including how to work in descriptions without taking away from the action.

I am definitely bookmarking these and any paragraph critiques she does in the future, because for any writer, at any level, they're useful.
