I guess they think I'll forget if they don't keep telling me. And you know what? They're probably right. Problem is, we're not making any progress, just covering the same ground. Guess I should do something about that when little Mackenzie is napping!Cally Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08313803959936813426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762622439282650752.post-69939635416240204312013-05-03T05:38:00.598-05:002013-05-03T05:38:00.598-05:00Thanks!

Most of my reviews have been good, so I really shouldn't complain. It's the perfectionist in me who knows that my story isn't perfect that's struggling. <br />Charity Bradfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01960821077619680661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762622439282650752.post-75574007111265131312013-05-02T06:18:06.767-05:002013-05-02T06:18:06.767-05:00Good luck with editing and submitting!

I may have too many there because they struggle to let me get one story done at a time. Actually, I'm trying to edit one of my novels because I've never submitted any of my novels before and just want to reach that point some time soon.

Didn't Orson Scott Card release a new version of Ender's Game? I think I have received "major revision" notices for about 20 books on my Kindle in the last year from Amazon. My blog partner is doing a major rewrite on his chapter book to see if he can push it to a new level of success. I think he can. <br /><br />I know the feeling after cutting so many parts where my MC thinks because my crit partners wanted action. But I'm a thinker and I like books with internal dialog along with the action. So I wonder if any of those people who didn't mention problems would have gotten bored if you'd left in those parts you cut. Which group is the majority? I don't even know if that was the type of problem. Now I want to read both versions, LOL!Sher A.
