Thank you for the kind words! <br /><br />This is just my first draft - still rough around the edges. <br /><br />I won a crit with a fantastic agent last year and she's already seen some of it. She's requested the full, but I'm not going to send it out till it's better than perfect! <br /><br />I hope your writing is going well! :-)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15498766421459190134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964156296961404863.post-43717636163973745692010-03-10T10:33:51.348-08:002010-03-10T10:33:51.348-08:00Hi Claire! Thank you so much!

Whatever thought or dialogue or scene popped in my head, I wrote it down - good or bad. Hopefully, that'll get you through this sluggish patch and you'll that ONE PERFECT SENTENCE (writer candy) that will push you forward. (Good luck!) <br /><br />This is just my first draft. I usually edit as I go along, but I know my last three chapters definitely need a re-write. Won't be querying till end of month or April, probably.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15498766421459190134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964156296961404863.post-2233105126519973962010-03-09T09:29:05.688-08:002010-03-09T09:29:05.688-08:00Congrats!
