I polished of the current draft of my Writers of the Future entry. Now I’m trying to get into the revisions on SEVEN STARS.
I’ve got four critiques back from readers (two are still out). I’m hugely pleased that, so far, everyone seems to really like it. Whew! I’ve got some great ideas for things to add or change to make it even better. I’m really excited to be getting back into this project.
Nevertheless, at the moment I’m mostly just working on the fiddly little stuff. Adding a sentence or two of clarification here, moving something else over there. These are not the changes I’m excited to be getting to. Unfortunately, it does just take a few days for me to really get back into a novel-length project. I wish it didn’t, but so far I haven’t found a way around this.
Ah well. This too shall pass. And then it’s going to be fun!

I’ve found it’s best to let the subconscious stew on feedback for a few days, anyway. Only after I ponder things for a while does the perfect solution pop up. 🙂
(Sorry I’m not done yet! Still loving it….)

True. But I’ve given some of these ideas that chance to roll around. A couple of the critiques were back much earlier than I expected.
Take your time. I’m just glad you’re enjoying it.

Too bad we’re in the wrong WotF group. I was looking forward to reading something of yours….it’s been a while.

Nothing says we can’t do an exchange outside of the WotF group.
