Finding a good match for a writing or critique partner can spur you on to greater writing and greater success as a published author. A good writing partner understands a writer’s heart, fears, and thinking. It is someone who becomes the other half of your writing journey; someone who knows and understands you. Your spouse, other family members, or friend may be supportive of your goal to become a published author, but if he or she isn’t a writer, they will not understand the process and will probably think you are from another planet.
