When I started this, I knew I wouldn't do very well at sustaining a regular blog. I just don't have that much fresh creativity. Without critiques, I'm at a loss for what to do with this space.
It echoes. That scares me.
Once I have my rough draft done, I'll be able to shift more of my focus here and maybe come up with some writing articles or something interesting. And I should be done with my rough draft at the end of the month. That's the goal, anyway.
In November this blog will be a stop on a couple of blog tours. More details as the dates approach. And I'm still hopeful the critique requests will start coming in again. I'm offering a free service for crying out loud. People like free.

About Me
- Tina Helmuth
- Minnesotan born and raised, writer of Christian historical fiction, wannabe artist, and just enough of a perfectionist to do a decent critique.
About this blog
- REVIEWS: Check back weekly for new book reviews.
- CRITIQUES: I critique any genre of Christian fiction. Submit around 1,000 words to the email in my profile. It’s free, but will be posted here for everyone to learn from. If you’re in need of a full critique, my fee is around $300 for a complete manuscript.
- OTHER STUFF: Writing tips, pictures of my pastels, or a bit of what life throws at me.

I like free, but I'm still working on the wip you critiqued here previously and don't know if you and your bloggers would want to critique/see more of the same story.
But, on the other hand, I'd like to see a little more of some of the novels we've bits of seen here. (Can you get Christine Berry to share a little more of hers? Just a little?)
I'm not Christine, but I have an excerpt #3 of the time-travel story if you'd like to see some more. I could use additional input at this time...but just on STORY, please, not commas and semicolons.
Up for it?
Sure I'm up for it. I can pull the lens far enough back to focus on the overall story.
For the record, Camille isn't getting paid! In fact, I don't think we've ever met. :-)
Thanks for putting a goofy grin on my face!
Tina,
I just posted our recent interview on my own blog: http://rmabry.blogspot.com.
I hope folks will realize that you offer one of the best services around for writers who are looking for help with their first chapters. Thanks for participating in the interview.
What? You're not paying me?
Great blog. Please stop by mine and register to win a 2008 scenic calendar.
There have been times when having a blog - and somewhere to post my writing for people to read - has inspired me to greater creativity. And other times when that same pressure had dried up all my creativity. :)
