But then cool off go back, see they were right and fix stuff.

Then I take it to my writers' workshop and they tell me it sucks, or has this, that and the other thing wrong with it.<br /><br />First reaction: Indignation. You philistines, can't you tell genius when you see it? I don't say that aloud, of course.<br /><br />Second reaction: Oh my God, they're right. I'm a talentless moron. What am I doing pretending to be a writer? I'm a fraud!<br /><br />Eventual reaction: Go through the comments, make the changes that make sense, reject the ones I feel strongly about. Submit.<br /><br />You are a published author, and a good one. As a Christian I hate to use the pop cliche "Believe in yourself," but at least I can substitute "Believe that God has given you a real talent."Barton Paul Levensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07630802738456749652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-77603694271504618.post-51607000144303018462010-01-26T05:15:59.188-05:002010-01-26T05:15:59.188-05:00Thanks Jaime.Thanks Jaime.Jade Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07326000191257008840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-77603694271504618.post-73523272955671813482010-01-25T23:46:06.310-05:002010-01-25T23:46:06.310-05:00Hmmm....I like edits.

I get so stressed on my own edits, but I find it enjoyable to edit other people's work. <br /><br /><a href="http://kelleyheckart.com" rel="nofollow">kelleyheckart.com</a>Kelley Heckarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05673342477988998070noreply@blogger.com
