It's wonderful to know I'm not the only one who spends most of their time rewriting! <br /><br />Sorry to hear you had a couple of bad experiences with editors. It's true though, I've found that some of the most valuable observations have come from readers sharing their impressions. After all, that's our market, readers not editors!<br />Karen Woodwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497346859460691324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1939271308870333669.post-72840010018914463552012-12-09T18:45:37.443-08:002012-12-09T18:45:37.443-08:00Karen, I absolutely agree with you about what come...Karen, I absolutely agree with you about what comes after the first draft.

Joanna Penn says she enjoys (at least parts of) the revision process too, so you're in good company.<br /><br />Thanks for your kind words and your comment. :-)Karen Woodwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497346859460691324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1939271308870333669.post-5105591636247848002012-12-08T08:17:49.970-08:002012-12-08T08:17:49.970-08:00Good advice, Karen.

It's funny, I'm the opposite--I grit my teeth through the first draft and once I get to rewriting I'm a happy girl!Charlotte Rains Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12657052065864065323noreply@blogger.com
