Now that I see a chunk of writing that I can work with, I'm hoping the rest of the story will emerge. I've plotted it out, but sometimes things don't go as planned. ;)<br /><br />I still need to fix some of the BoaN stuff. *sigh*Charity Bradfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01960821077619680661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762622439282650752.post-79345822789092683942012-11-30T06:54:31.703-06:002012-11-30T06:54:31.703-06:00Thanks Beth!Thanks Beth!Charity Bradfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01960821077619680661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762622439282650752.post-64616969685888380552012-11-29T22:23:08.691-06:002012-11-29T22:23:08.691-06:00It's awesome that you were able to keep so muc...It's awesome that you were able to keep so much of your earlier draft.

I love it when you read something you originally thought was bad just to discover it was actually quite good.<br /><br />I can't wait to see your blog tour guest post for my blog and for your book to come out so I can get my hands on that pretty cover.<br /><br />I have yet to post my BoaN for today. I'm going to get to it when I finish reading blog posts for the day and write some. Glad to see the new icon is up!Brooke R.

I find that it's easier to get going on a project with a few words tucked under the belt than starting from ground zero with nothing but a blank page and a cursor blinking at you.<br /><br />On the words you cut, gather them up as short stories and post them for free on free online sites with lots of readers with a link back to your book page. It's free publicity and will sell more books as people become enamored with your writing.<br /><br />I speak from experience.Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762622439282650752.post-16547944116761423162012-11-29T09:27:16.253-06:002012-11-29T09:27:16.253-06:00Reading, sweet reading....
