So it is finally done. Well, the rough draft, anyway. And a few minutes after I finished last night at 11pm, I noticed that I had received my first chapter back from one of the crit groups! Their comments were REALLY encouraging and helpful. So I feel a lot better about the story than I did this morning. :) There's still hope! Really, I'm awed by the comments left.
I know being a part of a crit group can be intimidating-- your mom might love every line you ever penned (I love my mom!), but a crit group of other writers is a whole different animal. Yet I have experienced the most phenomenal growth due to the exercise of reading, critiquing, and having my own work critiqued. Seriously. If you're into pursuing writing, you've got to try it! And it will force you to keep pressing on, too. It gives you a deadline for having your next chapter finished or edited or whatever.
Anyway, enough of the crit group infomercial! (Just call this number at the bottom of the screen... okay, just kidding.)
Now it's time to knuckle down and get the thing edited... and time to get that proposal put together! Stay tuned for more Wednesday updates on the wild writing ride...
