I'm wondering why it took me so long to find it. Not being a teen might have something to do with it. I found this blog through the OCW Mentors list. Thanks again for this particular article.Cara Grandlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11724417470600381808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-68211453276920676052015-06-12T05:23:08.356-05:002015-06-12T05:23:08.356-05:00And there's just nothing like that feeling aft...And there's just nothing like that feeling after revisions when you look at the book and go, "Wow.

It challenges you to explore your characters and plot more deeply, more thoroughly, and to develop them into even better characters than they were at the start." <br /><br />I love this Roseanna.

They come at it from such a different angle and it gives me a fuller look at my story. Does it mean I always like when they pull apart my writing? No, but I think having the attitude of "I want a good product and these people will help me with my shortcomings," is a good one to have.<br /><br />Congrats on your book, by the way!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11316328217006467698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-26441437722564726182015-06-10T12:06:41.351-05:002015-06-10T12:06:41.351-05:00Hi, Toni!

In less than 24 hours, it has been more informative than the last three weeks of my directionless internet searching for writing/editing/publication advice. So a resounding THANK YOU for everything!<br /><br />How do I go about finding an editor/publisher? I have a few thousand words written of a novel I'd like to start on the road to publication, but I'm not sure exactly how to do that. Who do I reach out to? Who will edit/proof for me? I'd like some feedback from a non-family member because, although it's often flattering, an abundance of kind words and a disappointing lack of critique will not make me a better writer or improve my story.Toni Krebshttp://241719.wix.com/toni-krebs-writingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-45681682777966573772015-06-10T09:02:50.477-05:002015-06-10T09:02:50.477-05:00It can be so tough to take criticism!

I've struggled a lot with accepting criticism in the past over my book, and although I still struggle with it I am working towards being more accepting. These are some great ideas of how to do that! It really is just like a game of moving the pieces around and trying to make the absolute best move. I am definitely going to try to think more from this perspective!Megan S.noreply@blogger.com
