Focused on learning the rules of writing and seeing how others use them. I've been busy critiquing other writer's works and comparing my crits to those of other readers. I have over 100 crits and have learned a great deal. I've been invited to join two private queues where a limited number of readers review and crit an entire piece. I feel privileged to be included in both groups. It's like playing baseball with a group that's better than you. You can't help but strive to belong, work harder to meet the standard, learn more to rival their knowledge, and grow along with them. This will make me a better writer in the long run.
I know exactly how you feel. I'll be publishing my first novel this week. I'm definitely here to help, my friend.
