Tightening, slice & dice, increase an emotion... and I know at the very least there's another week of this to go. *looks in the liquor cabinet* <br /><br />Chin up and grin.

I scrapped that 62k and rewrote from scratch. The second 82k my ex-editor friend told me was frankly too lacking for her to be capable of critting it. My third rewrite, again from scratch, she said was "readable". From this and from what you said about la nora and la banks -- it's probably just practice. You get better at knowing what goes into the cake and what you haven't put in while you're making the cake instead of painstakingly going over it afterwards to put in filling, slathering on icing to hide the cracks, and so forth. I've read your word sprints snippets and I really think you're well on your way. :) We'll all get there some day.kyriashttp://kyriacities.comnoreply@blogger.com
