There's always something new to review! <b>Reviews prevent writer's block.</b> What I do is <b>create a template for each kind of review</b> I do. This way, when another similar product comes along, I can reuse the same template. Want to see how successful I've been?

I found my review of <a href="http://learneractor.blogspot.com/2007/07/theatre-review-crucible.html" rel="nofollow"> Auckland Theatre Company's The Crucible </a> a lot trickier than writing a conventional post - took me quite a while to decide how I was going to approach it. The hard part was avoiding a typical review format and maintaining my voice, and as an offshot of that focusing on the aspects of the production that my blog is concerned with as opposed to everything else I thought about it.

I've been trying to get "back in the groove" and had written a review of my new smartphone a few hours before I read this post. But unfortunately, I wrote that review first, so after reading your post...I had to write another. I setup a blog specifically for non-book reviews, btw, mostly because nowhere else that I was writing seemed appropriate for ranting, raving, criticizing and complimenting all the products and services I use and wanted to comment on. Anyway, the new post I wrote for this project was a combined review of several products I've tried to help heal my poor doggy's flea problem. http://tomsreviews.com/2007/flea-control-products/ Wow, I guess we were thinking alike.

When a company contacted me offering a free copy their software in exchange for an honest review, it was great blogging material AND it helped me learn more about products my readers might be interested in. I have even received free products from companies by contacting them myself and offering to review the product in exchange for a free sample. This is also a great way to do a bit of networking!
