I tend to write my reviews offline - start a Word document, add notes, general feelings... and save them in a folder on my computer. Upon completion of the book (which could be at "The End", or when I throw the book across the room, depending) I wait a day, then try to make a cohesive statement from my notes. I'll let it sit a day or two and and give it a once-over.
When I'm satisfied with what I've got, I go to my LibraryThing library, select the book and Edit it (the pencil icon). Just under the Author box, there the Ratings stars, so I set the rating then, and just underneath that is the box where the Review goes. I copy (Ctrl+C) the review from my Word document and paste (Ctrl+V) in the Review box. The only editing I have to do then is for html do-hickeys for italics or bold or underscores that I may have used in the original doc.
I've still got several books that don't have tags. They were books that were part of my initial bulk submittals to LT, and mostly were books that MrsHouseLibrary brought into the marriage, so I wasn't familiar enough with them to add tags at that point. I am occasionally pulling those books off the shelf and perusing them to add tags, though.
It helps to be sporadically OCD in maintaining the catalog.
Enjoy!
