My MC pestered me for 4 years! She so wanted to get with her man. And when they finally met - 4 years later ;) - it was electricity! <br /><br />If I don't clean up their love scene and make it more potent, I'm sure have me on a platter again ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04081314889684032209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7435089138132999855.post-53093307860381160912009-11-15T14:31:42.549-05:002009-11-15T14:31:42.549-05:00I much prefer to revise, but there is a thrill wit...I much prefer to revise, but there is a thrill with that first draft, even if it's all crapola.<br /><a href="http://www.workfromhomeindia.biz" rel="nofollow"> Work from home India </a>Nishanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12461392896444120934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7435089138132999855.post-10745465620438984622009-11-13T09:48:31.104-05:002009-11-13T09:48:31.104-05:00Oh, the "is this DEEP enough?" problem i...Oh, the "is this DEEP enough?" problem is one I know all too well. But here's the thing: the story is what's important. And I think you nailed it when you said all of this negative energy is coming from the difficulty of it all. Whenever I hit a hard part of my work, I start wondering why I even do it. Stupid inner writer brain.<br /><br />Plus, I want to READ it, so you HAVE to write it.Jacquihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08277260387578439327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7435089138132999855.post-7479811382932442712009-11-12T20:50:50.012-05:002009-11-12T20:50:50.012-05:00Aw, thanks guys!

November you write crap, and after that you revise and polish until it's the story you want it to be. Sounds simple, right? :-) <br />Good luck!Anna Staniszewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09316883819771607655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7435089138132999855.post-73687568658310130722009-11-12T17:29:52.443-05:002009-11-12T17:29:52.443-05:00Yup, I much prefer to revise, but there is a thril...Yup, I much prefer to revise, but there is a thrill with that first draft, even if it's all crapola.<br /><br />I've been revising earlier pages and going forwards, which means sometimes my word count goes under. Can you tell I'm good at hacking? So at the end of the day, if I have more words than what I started out with, I'm making progress ...<br /><br />Keep the dreams. Hey, how was the writing retreat? Wasn't it this past weekend?Vijayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876606729146077830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7435089138132999855.post-58125737599853858642009-11-12T17:29:30.321-05:002009-11-12T17:29:30.321-05:00Scribble here from the BB's.
you're right,...Scribble here from the BB's.<br />you're right, don't give up, just grind it on out until the words flow (and they will). <br />As Kaylie says, you have an agent so you definitely can write, that's for sure, those guys are like gold dust (+1 for the intimidated here too). <br />Anyway, I think from what you have mentioned in your blog, the idea sounds pretty cool. <br />Btw, I had a dream last night I was starting work at a publishers and Marlon Wayans was my trainer/mentor, weird!IanBontemshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13942749761260327580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7435089138132999855.post-34228036260404314662009-11-12T16:02:15.247-05:002009-11-12T16:02:15.247-05:00You nailed it.

Sometimes I'm even intimidated by your blog (you've written more and you've got an agent, so you're ahead of me). I think it's important to have mentors every step of the way.KAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01492662417610004495noreply@blogger.com
