Attended a training session today by Shel Holtz on social media networks. I am mildly dazed by all the different tools that are out there.

A friend asked me tonight to review the first chapter of a book she has completed and plans to try publishing soon.  She asked me to be brutally honest, and … I was.  I can see an easy fix for the main plot problem I pointed out, but I don’t know how much rewriting she wants to do since she already has finished the book.  Hopefully she’s still willing to talk to me at this point to hear my suggestion!
