At what point do you think people would want my opinion?

I always try to make it very clear it's just my opinion, but sometimes that's all a writer needs - some feedback from someone not closely connected to them.Michelle Davidson Argylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09696465137285587646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282612866471682237.post-61532605225386018342011-04-20T07:31:11.740-06:002011-04-20T07:31:11.740-06:00I'm so happy to hear about all the ways people...I'm so happy to hear about all the ways people have helped you, Michelle (and am excited to help when Monarchy gets closer to being released). Writers are such amazing people, and so willing to help. I love meeting new writers online. I like to offer critiques (which I did for my 100 followers contest), I co-sponsored a critique-based blogfest in March, and am now participating in the networking extravaganza of the A-to-Z blogfest. I'm happy to help promote my blogging buddies, and even bloggers I've just met. That's what the online community is for. <br><br>I can't imagine how different my life would be if I lived in that vacuum you mentioned. People have been so helpful to me, and all I want to do is give back. I think your co-contest is a fantastic idea, and I can't wait to go Tweet about it.<br><br>Thanks, Robin, for having the idea for the giveaway, and thank you both for writing such inspiring posts today (well, yesterday, as I'm a little late to the game).<br><br>Rosie<br><a href="http://eastforgreeneyes.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">East for Green Eyes</a>RosieChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07911305246379355484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282612866471682237.post-10667621776483705252011-04-20T06:47:04.401-06:002011-04-20T06:47:04.401-06:00"Be Genuine"--that's great advice to..."Be Genuine"--that's great advice to pass along to anyone and everyone; whether they are writers or not.Ricky Bushhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15861574330175082978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282612866471682237.post-76915428565648034592011-04-19T17:09:59.584-06:002011-04-19T17:09:59.584-06:00Ruth, LC, and Tonja, thank you!Ruth, LC, and Tonja, thank you!Michelle Davidson Argylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09696465137285587646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282612866471682237.post-37198298403388251942011-04-19T16:02:48.742-06:002011-04-19T16:02:48.742-06:00I read about this on Laura Josephsen's blog! ...I read about this on Laura Josephsen's blog!
