I'm very pleased with where it's brought me so far. I just have edits and clean ups to do. I guess one could technically say this is version 2, thought. I wrote the majority of the book back in November and December and then went back in to smooth it all out once I saw where it was going. ;)<br /><br />@Anita ~ LOL! Finally! Someone got my but face comment! (or at the very least, mentioned it! HA!) Soo happy!

Trust me, though, now, in your editing and drafting and driving yourself insane over trying to make your book perfect...this is when you'll really prove yourself as a writer.<br /><br />Good luck -- and GREAT JOB getting that draft done.Daezarkian13https://www.blogger.com/profile/08839083029518977312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8271694209401583555.post-23647632167616125852011-05-23T13:59:33.628-05:002011-05-23T13:59:33.628-05:00Grats on getting past this stage.

And once you start sending your work to crit partners, you start seeing all kinds of stuff you hadn't even thought about before. I love getting feedback from people because it makes the writing that much better. :-)KendallGreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02029447701416121956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8271694209401583555.post-61055091655487721682011-05-23T08:44:31.316-05:002011-05-23T08:44:31.316-05:00Goodluck, hun!
