April over at Romantic Inks made a good post about Critique Groups and Partners.
I chimed in, but it kind of got me to thinking… how do you / did you find your crit partner / group?
I found it pretty tricky to do, when I looked around.
We all want specific things from a group, and the groups want specific things from us, the writers who apply / join.
But how do you find one that fits you?
How do you know whether they are any good?
It’s a conundrum.

So the other day, we were messing around on Critters, talking about our genres and I said I write paranormal romance.
One of my fellow critters chimed in and said "You write hot & heavenly romance".
Dayum!
That’s IT!
Thank you, Cyn!
So yeah. That’s what I write. Hot & Heavenly Romance lol. (With a bunch of demons, vampires, werewolves and other stuff that goes bump in the night thrown in for good measure.)
Oh and while I’m at it… she has a book coming out. So check out her blog, Real Writers Don’t Vaccum.
(And I resemble that title. 
)
(Computers are stupid)
I used to laugh about this song. It’s by a German band named "Spliff".
I’ve changed my mind.
Computers ARE stupid.
Mine blew up — again. I’m sick of it. I boot up and… nothing. Black screen. Repair disks don’t work and MS won’t send me the 64bit version, claiming mine is an OEM. (It’s not.)
So I’m experimenting. I’m waiting for a friend to send me the DVD down, because all I got right now is 32bit — in a computer with nearly 7gig of RAM. However, as I said, I’m experimenting.
Once that DVD arrives, I’m going to reinstall 64bit Windows. Then I’m going to move shit around until I have a free drive. And then… I’m sticking Linux on this box. God help em if I can get everything to work.
I’m just sick and tired of reinstalling Windows every 6 months. And it’s not even because I download and install a lot of stuff. I think it’s to do with the damned updates. Drivers. Something.
