My poor story was pulverized and shredded; all that remains are a few tendrils of character and plot that I might paste into the rewrite. Can't wait to get started. >:)<br /><br />Thank you for recommending it, all those months ago. :D<br /><br />-whisperwhisperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05665166033958707844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321974695988398105.post-15074707176844569422010-12-27T19:08:47.656-05:002010-12-27T19:08:47.656-05:00Thank you, Mrs. Johnnie!Thank you, Mrs. Johnnie!Storyteller SilverLoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10534851653668916838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321974695988398105.post-3932200671178385602010-12-08T15:29:57.383-05:002010-12-08T15:29:57.383-05:00Thanks for stopping by my blog -- the poor, neglec...Thanks for stopping by my blog -- the poor, neglected thing -- and leaving such a sweet comment.

And the way I see it, it's better to have a totally epic story that you've invested a ridiculous amount of time in, than an average story that was completed fairly quickly. <br /><br />But I am by no means saying that EVERYONE will learn something from Gerke; brand new knowledge to me may be old school to you. I have to confess I wrote my book knowing very little about writing, and I have much to learn.Storyteller SilverLoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10534851653668916838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321974695988398105.post-88940749571223381042010-08-24T18:54:25.017-04:002010-08-24T18:54:25.017-04:00ST!!!

I ...ST!!! Happy day, you're blogging again! <br /><br />I had been looking into this book for a long time--and now I'm afraid to buy it. :P I am having a hard time already feverishly editing my novel into 'perfection' (lol), or at least a manageable amount of those dratted Wases, but if I buy this book... Ah, well. What do I have to lose? *glances around* Uh, I take that back.

That is great! I'm so happy for you. And, yes, interest from a publisher is a good reason not to read Jeff's book right now.

Me... well, now you've convinced me not to read this book. :D Actually, that's not entirely true, but I'm not going to read this book and then reread the manuscript I'm submitting because then I'd get discouraged. I have some good news: a publisher asked to see the full. So I guess the biggest thing for me is that I really don't want to have to do another rewrite just now. Other than that, Jeff's book was already on my "need to read" list.<br /><br />I wish you the best with your book. And don't worry; you'll get it right. I've already torn my book apart 3 times (and counting). You'll get it!Star-Dreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298850366884374226noreply@blogger.com
