Ok sorry for all the questions i asked today about my book, I know i could of probally searched online and foudn the answers, but i wanted my mylot family to help me, now i would like some more help. I do not know anyone that likes to read books, and i would like someone to read the part of my book that i have written to tell me if they think it would be worth finishing, now its a romance and its just the rough draft of the book, but you can still tell if its good enough. this is my first attempt and i would love some advice. please let me know if you wouldnt mind reading the first few pages of my book

Hello! I'm a writer myself, though I lean more toward fantasy than anything else. However, if you feel like you need someone to have a critical look at your first few pages, I'd be happy to take a peek and offer what little help I can. 
Have you had any chances to get people you know in real life to read it as well? You never know where good advice can come from- family, friends, an acquaintance at a coffee shop...

I would have to email it to you, i dont have any family or friends that enjoy reading, and the ones that do read it just sceam over it and tell me its good, so i want an outsider, my fiance said that im a good writer, but then he told me he didnt really read it just sceamed over it and told me that i need to finish, so ide be happy to share

Actually, I think getting family and friends opinion should be a last because they may not be able to tell you what needs changing even though they want to, my bf once said, "i dont know, it need something" and thats all he could offer--whether it was just he didnt want to hurt my feelings or couldnt find the word it still left me frustrated.
I hear people say good things about writing groups even though to me it would be tough but I read online about people being suprised how productive it can be, have you found any writing circles online?

I guess I should clarify my statement, if you have friends that are into the field of writing and interested in reading then that could work but if you've never seen them reading then maybe not.This could be a discussion in itself, hey give it a try!

I'm a writer myself. People tell me that I'm a good writer, so I know how you feel about wanting to know for sure. I like to experiment with different types of stories though the major one I'm on at the moment is a fan fiction.
I would love to read your book. I love reading as much as writing. :D
