I swear every single line was circled with a red pen, but she loved the story. Blessed her heart, she didn't give up on me, but it was a steep learning curve that included everything you mentioned above, and more.J.S.

I took me years. I wrote four complete novels before getting published. The writing craft not only has strict rules, but they also change with time.

Writing is constantly learning. Thanks for sharing your experience.Vijaya Schartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562958609545624615noreply@blogger.com
