Well there is an excellent guide to reviewing a story ---and I kind of feel like we need to show members how to review a story ---I get so many emails asking if a particular author is going to add to a story ---and I answer them by telling them I have no idea---but they might want to review the story to let the author know they would like to see more ----Now I never wrote a story just to get reviews---I write because I like to ---but I will tell you that getting a review does a lot to make you want to continue ---

I am a paid author ---I write book ---not erotic book --novels ---I have 5 published novels---and better than reviews I get a check each month ---that tells me people have enjoyed my stories and makes me want to write more ----I started writing erotic stories---that is where I started ---and reviews made a lot of difference to me ----I started on a story board and continued there until they turned it into a pay site----

yes I still get paid from that site as it pays me by the number of times my stories are downloaded ---I get paid from the new member fees that people pay when they join and the monthly fees they pay to stay members

but I would rather my short erotic stories were free and I post them on boards for free ----I like to help and encourage new authors ----

we have started basic writers classes for new authors in the Writer's Block

now I feel like we ought to train reviewers---I hope each of you will take the time to review a story ---and maybe comment on it in this forum ---
