I don't read Stephen King either because he scares me, too. But really admire him and his book is the best book on writing I've ever read. That said, I didn't realize or forgot that Tabitha was his IR. I cannot imagine my husband being my IR, although I write children's books. I do know some YA authors that use teens to help them get things right like texting, slang, teen attitude, etc. I think this all depends on what you are writing and what you need help with?

My daughter will get into a story if I ask her to read the first few chapters, but she doesn't go back to it once she has to stop. I think part of it is reading it on the computer. She still prefers to hold a book in her hands, so it doesn't seem like a real story reading a draft on the computer.Ann Schwarzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09302072008087955647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4505530717632117465.post-71285326785630264352013-09-09T17:24:15.137-04:002013-09-09T17:24:15.137-04:00Both!Both!Rhonda Ruckerhttp://www.sparkyandrhonda.com/rhonda.htmlnoreply@blogger.com
