An Update for a Thursday

After a good night/day of sleep I feel human once more.

Writing: I've been a little more active again over at CC critiquing and receiving some crits on earlier chapters. Most of the crits I'm receiving are nits so that's good. Think I'm almost THERE with those.

I flashed last weekend over at www.libertyhallwriters.org I think that was the beginning

Great plans, and hugs for good luck :)

That semi-autobiography, oh, yes. In a real life writing group years ago, we had one lady writing one of these. We pointed out a part what would make a much better story with only a little tweaking. The suggestions made the story mean the same but would, perhaps, have been more interesting or fit better, somehow, but she looked very blank and said, "But that's not the way it happened!"

So, all things being what they are, we pretty much sat back and listened to the story and pointed out what we liked and encouraged her to keep going, well, what else can you do? :)

Your situation is different, though, of course :)

Yes. That's exactly like the comments I've heard. I struggle with the editing client with this, though I think we're on the right track in getting things down and making it into a story. Another person I've talked to keeps her writing distant so you don't really relate to the character she's created, but because it's semi-autobiographical, I think she's almost afraid to delve into it.

Thanks for the hugs. I had a brainstorm on this project last night and now I want to really get into it and make it shine. :)
