I Just Had an Epiphany

After spending the past hour or so, reading some REAL book reviews, I realize that I don't know what I'm doing when it comes to reviewing. Truthfully, I'm just giving a basic overview of the book, you know, what it was about. Anyone can read that from the back cover. What they can't read is what is found in-between the text of the front and back over. That's where reviewers step in, and I've been doing a pretty not too good job at it. [What a slap in the face! and I thought I was soo good. lol.. My bad.] But anyways, although "old habits die hard," I will try my best to refrain from rewriting the back cover, with a personal twist. This might take a while, but bare with me. I was just finishing my "overview" on Frenemies by Alexa Young, so I guess that'll be my first project...or maybe not..lol] MOVING ON. As for my readers [If I have any] what do you really think? Am I right here or am I just being paranoid? [Cause I do tend to have a case of paranoia every once in a while.]

Lol..it is funny how you are freaking out about this. Do not worry too much for it will fix itself. Maybe you are just paranoid, but if you feel what you are writing is not working well, then change it. What hurt can it cause to give something new a tr?

Don't worry too much. It happens to all of us. I've lost count how many times I've doubted myself. I've changed the way I write reviews about 3 times now. I'm pretty happy with my process of evolution. I just wish the second guessing myself thing would stop! So I get where you're coming from. I say only change if you want to. Otherwise, keep on keeping on. ;)

Second guessing yourself is normal! Don't sweat it so much :)
