This isn't my favorite part, but it is one of the things that I like with my writing process. I like that I am able to write down all my thoughts and insights even without proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation.

I'm a hard reader to please and when I don't llike something, I'm very vocal about it. I find it interesting how everyone writes in different styles. I admit I'm one who writes in the "high school" way as one reviewer termed it. That's simply my writing style. I tend to write my stories the same way as well. My reviews are usually very opinionated and sarcastic but I enjoy being able to write the way that I am the most comfortable with.
Yeah, I also like that I am able to be honest about what I think when reviewing instead of trying to sugarcoat my words.

I feel the same. My fear of making mistakes (mainly comma usage in my case) and thus scoring low editor cards, makes me construct sentences that do not express my true feeling/opinion.

I like the part that I actually talk about the good aspects of the book, they are more easy and more enjoyable to display.

Latest Review: The Maestro Monologue by Rob White

Post by Suzer6440 xyz »

I enjoy writing a review and expressing my opinion for other readers. I also like that I learned some thing about my writing each time after I submit my review .

The thing I like least about writing the review is that I can never get a perfect score on it because my writing skills are up to par like everyone else . However I am learning to be a better writer

The simplicity is my favorite part. Or maybe reading the book itself (gotta do that first, yay!).

Latest Review: The Maestro Monologue by Rob White

The best thing about writing reviews for me is seeing my growth in the way I write. I try to improve every time I get anew opportunity. I really like sharing my personal opinion with others in the reading world... I also appreciate the fact that the books are free....

The least thing I think I like is the frustration I feel when I make smallandsilly mistakes in my writing. But.... Practice makes perfect right?
