It's been a while! I have not been on this platform much since embarking on my publishing adventure, but I wanted to pop on here and express gratitude for the community of writers still chugging away!
I recently experienced my first full, developmental edit by a professional. It already takes courage to write, but you have to harbor a sense of punishment to subject your personal work to the eyes of an unbiased expert! I was floored by my editor's expertise, ideas, and organization. It's one thing to write, and another thing entirely to craft a story!
I've committed to seeing this project through, so I will not be posting new chapters or stories here at the time. But as autumn draws close, I think of us intrepid writers embarking on NaNos and goals and contests -- and just want to say, KEEP GOING! You can do it!!
