I even used to keep the first 18 chapters of my first book up on my blog. I had quite a few requests from people who wanted to read it after that. But now that I'm querying, I don't want to have that stuff out there. I do, however, still have my query, logline, and 50 word pitch up for all to read. <br /><br />I always like to get feedback on my ideas. My writing I'm a bit more reluctant with, but I still think it's important to get feedback. I even put my query up for 50 people to critique during a blogfest and that was very helpful.Nancy Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05735642863696266005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8134980047130728930.post-43606101542777644212011-09-26T13:35:32.578-07:002011-09-26T13:35:32.578-07:00This is really interesting.

I haven't told people online what the title is or what it's about.<br /><br />Now, if I get an agent..then I think I'll be a little less guarded.<br /><br />Nice blog you have. You have a new follower!Ronald L.

Basically, I'm frustratingly general.<br /><br />I like your picture idea for the blogfest, for which I will now have to check out the deets. :)Krispyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09492607213249874138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8134980047130728930.post-60018152220807281612011-09-26T11:39:12.162-07:002011-09-26T11:39:12.162-07:00I need to learn more about your blogfest...anythin...I need to learn more about your blogfest...anything with warm fuzzies sounds fun!<br /><br />I don't share much of my work online, not so much for fear of theft but because that makes it harder to publish (if you share too much). I did have a book up n Authonomy.com for a while, which was sort of cool, but to get real benefit from the site you have to put in more time than I had available. Every once in a while I'll post an excerpt in my blog (like, twice ever!) but those don't seem to be what people really want to read, anyway.Cheryl Reifhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01717232463223093632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8134980047130728930.post-4492034150970326182011-09-25T13:33:20.179-07:002011-09-25T13:33:20.179-07:00This sounds like it will be a fun week!
As for sh...This sounds like it will be a fun week!<br /><br />As for sharing my wip online. I don't like to at all. Not because I am afraid someone will steal the idea, but I am pretty weird about my writing until I have it in the shape I won't it. Its like my baby and I don't want anyone to say bad things about it you know. This doesn't mean I'm opposed to contests or blogfests, but man they scare me in the beginning:)Deanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17958057331230037880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8134980047130728930.post-13513854047653314762011-09-24T15:56:28.170-07:002011-09-24T15:56:28.170-07:00It's hard to share but at one point or another...It's hard to share but at one point or another, just to make it shine, I know will have to share some or at least most of it.

I think that's the worst site possible - I would HATE to expose the hours of research I'd put into my piece and pretty much give away what it's about lol. I just tweeted you too about my music. <br /><br />I share nothing online or even in person. It's a shock I told Krispy the title of my piece, but only cuz I was tired of referring to it as "my current WIP that I'm revising."<br /><br />It's kind of why it took me so long to get CPs. :DSophia Changhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10946233873722107937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8134980047130728930.post-70578507422058846892011-09-23T17:43:21.634-07:002011-09-23T17:43:21.634-07:00Not really.

It might let the people know that I'm a writer, and I'm not sure if I'm ready for that yet. <br /><br />Saying that, I do share my work on an online writing group for critiquing. That doesn't scare me but putting it out on a blog does. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
