I scrap lots of words and rewrite my novels completely several times during the process but it's difficult to know when to step back and say it's ready for submission. I've never actually been at that stage with a novel yet (I'm getting there!), but I've been there many times with short stories. It's so hard to let a piece go!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-43949438734659499242015-08-30T15:53:20.204-05:002015-08-30T15:53:20.204-05:00Right?!Right?!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12851865397542806708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-65129338931697887902015-08-30T15:53:08.919-05:002015-08-30T15:53:08.919-05:00Right?!Right?!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12851865397542806708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-29283025396755020432015-08-29T22:01:47.762-05:002015-08-29T22:01:47.762-05:00My favorite part about writing is being able to or...My favorite part about writing is being able to organize my thoughts and put them down on paper.

The writing and the brainstorming are just /fun/, and I'm skipping along with the whole story just waiting for me to write it (until I hit writer's block of course, but meh, let's not talk about that :p). I don't see the plotholes the size of spaceships, the cranky characters who don't make sense, or the million bazillion clunky sentences and writing errors. I'm just creating a world and it's a blast. :D<br /><br /><br />Alexa<br />thessalexa.blogspot.com<br />verbositybookreviews.wordpress.comAlexa Mintahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13865586987033390255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-85346437360460828982015-08-29T20:26:15.741-05:002015-08-29T20:26:15.741-05:00I didn't get to join in yesterday, because I h...I didn't get to join in yesterday, because I had a very good friend over who I haven't seen in over a year. My goal for this weekend is to get the next chapter in my edits done. I know it isn't much, but I'll be lucky to get ten words written because Monday I started a college algebra class and am flailing, so that completely sucked 99% of my writing time. I'm still hoping to squeeze out the next chapter though. :)<br /><br />My favorite part about writing... Probably meeting and getting to know my characters, though I'm also enjoying foreshadowing. :)Elizabeth H.http://sunshineglorystudios.weebly.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-71844870433987194092015-08-29T18:59:38.398-05:002015-08-29T18:59:38.398-05:00Favorite part?

I'm working on chapter 4, and I'm not entirely sure how long the story is going to be. I'm hoping to at least reach chapter 8 by the time Get It Done Weekend is over, but finishing the whole first draft would be preferable. Whatever happens, I'll be pleased with my progress. <br />Congratulations on being so close to reaching your goal, Linea! ~Savannah P.
