When stuff is all polished up, I often feel like I'm an under-writer, leaving too much to the reader to infer, which they often don't...and therefore they miss half the meaning of the story and make wrong logical connections, etc. Still working on figuring out that balance. <br /><br />Critique sessions are awesome, trust me. <br /><br />And looks like you're shaping up for NaNoWriMo this fall! 90k in 5 weeks? You are so ready! Sequel, maybe? :-)Summer Freyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04234534550255682010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122888753760790051.post-8609652181301109572010-04-02T08:47:52.026-05:002010-04-02T08:47:52.026-05:00Morning Jen, congratulations on all the progress w...Morning Jen, congratulations on all the progress with your WIP!<br /><br />As to your question it is the best of times and the worst of times when the excitement and the anxiety run hand in hand. Pray for it and dread it at the same time.<br /><br />Shameless promotion:<br /><br />Please visit my blog and comment today. I have a post by guest blogger Justine Dell where she shares an ACTUAL query letter of hers that found success.<br /><br />She is a wonderfully lady, always willing to help another writer and I would really like her to get the recognition she deserves.<br /><br />Thanks!Matthew MacNishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03264738483763244969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122888753760790051.post-2454727458798129162010-04-02T08:41:15.772-05:002010-04-02T08:41:15.772-05:00Is it your first crit group?
