To try to make sure I focus on the back half of the story, I had my beta readers already provide feedback on the front half before I edited the back half. That helped me become more critical and see my writing based on what I thought their comments might be.Cally Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08313803959936813426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762622439282650752.post-88621786715390821962012-05-27T08:56:13.616-05:002012-05-27T08:56:13.616-05:00OMG I'm so excited for you.

Its a challenge to make myself slow down, pull away from the story and actually look at what I'm writing. :)Charity Bradfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01960821077619680661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762622439282650752.post-83040827887709184892012-05-24T10:07:41.898-05:002012-05-24T10:07:41.898-05:00OH boy.

In order to get around this, I usually just have to force myself to stop fidgeting with earlier chapters and dive straight into the later ones.Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762622439282650752.post-13073848299467414282012-05-23T13:40:29.490-05:002012-05-23T13:40:29.490-05:00Very cool, Charity!
