I'm waiting for feedback from my agent on my new project and she's already let me know I'm going to be rewriting the beginning (and I agree with her). I know she'll give me good guidance about how to do that, though, which makes it easier to face!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06636585111057799728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7927342525988890809.post-36178765952215188742011-06-08T01:14:52.186-05:002011-06-08T01:14:52.186-05:00Fabulous interview!

I really appreciate this interview, and it comes at such an opportune time as I am going through a major revision!<br />Without a doubt, the thing that's helped me grow most as a writer is editing unpublished MS. It's amazing how I'll never notice "problem area A" in my own writing until I see I clouding up my crit partner's work.<br />Thanks so much for this!<br />-Ellie Ann SoderstromAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11909732235922201609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7927342525988890809.post-43368829264965181452011-06-07T20:52:38.634-05:002011-06-07T20:52:38.634-05:00Thank you all for the kind comments!

All participants were allowed to submit their query for critique - and I will tell you, her feedback was invaluable! I can only imagine what a critique of a manuscript would be like - think I'll be heading over to Kat's website now!<br /><br />Great interview!Erin L.

I even pre-emptively ate a bowl of chocolate ice cream. <br />To my great surprise, even though my ten page sample was ripped to shreds, I was happy, giddy even! Finally, I had the kind of feedback that would let me take that next step in revising my draft.<br />Thanks for this interview!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7927342525988890809.post-67282052821858250662011-06-07T15:06:20.499-05:002011-06-07T15:06:20.499-05:00Great interview!!
