I loved the characters in this one, but the plot was refusing to come together, and the worldbuilding was all over the place. I'm hoping that if I let it sit for a while, I'll be more ready to tackle it in the future.

I know that's hard sometimes, but I hope it makes it all the better when you return to it!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16797485444727976121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1257908629733815484.post-57590839790860579492016-06-23T15:35:30.837-07:002016-06-23T15:35:30.837-07:00I can go for ages and ages without getting a singl...I can go for ages and ages without getting a single idea, then all of a sudden I'll have more than I know what to do with. It's a bit of a problem, to be honest! Hopefully I can make some of these ideas work.<br /><br />Thanks for commenting!

It must actually be challenging to have more than one in mind and to work on them simultaneously!

I know I'm really finished with a story when I can't stand to look at it anymore, and I'm nowhere near there yet.<br /><br />Wishing you luck with your revisions! I'd love to hear more about your novel. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177685866335675217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1257908629733815484.post-37308185935032224352016-06-22T14:04:10.520-07:002016-06-22T14:04:10.520-07:00You're so cool!
