It's a somewhat similar process, but what Mr. Tarantino writes will be performed out loud, and what I write will be read by the consumer. It makes sense for him to read aloud, while it makes sense to critique fiction on paper (or on the laptop, whatever). I don't know what I would do without that kind of feedback, but I know I'm as grateful to my CP's as Mr. Tarantino is to his. :)Laura Hughes, MittensMorgulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934132671168843593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-80248723072912781.post-91788306838009200052013-01-14T10:20:41.324-08:002013-01-14T10:20:41.324-08:00No doubt.
