Good writing is a transformative experience, right?

Welcome to my world LOL Oh, the uncertainty! We shall support each other. My first tip? The merge documents tool in Microsoft Word. Ask me how... ;)

We will support each-other like a bra supports tits.

I don't have any documents to merge :x

HOW?!

Having something to work with is the hard part, and you've already done that. You can do it!

I've done this before (I'm practically a professional editor!). The next step is actually giving a copy of your manuscript to someone else you trust and have them read it to give you feedback (and I'm more than willing AFTER I finish Liz's novel first!). You need another set of eyes to pick up on the stuff you can't see and to find the plot holes. (PICK ME! PICK ME!) ;) I can walk you through this. After next week, my life will calm down like WHOA because my classes will be DONE!

I would love to send it to you, but I know you have others in line, so I'll hold off on sending you the file in order that, when you're up to me, I can send you the latest ;) One person has read it; so far, his advice has been invaluable (it's Corey; maybe you've met in passing?). I think I might look at posting/passing them along chapter by chapter as I can. We'll see. I'm soaking a little, still, at the moment. <3
