The second or third time through a manuscript, it's amazing how I see the story differently, and can bring that depth to it.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03972054718663959694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636039236525599501.post-44205252414230446412011-03-08T15:25:24.993-08:002011-03-08T15:25:24.993-08:00Jennifer,

You have to think about what's in front of you and how it fits in the story. <br /><br /> You'll have to give me some dialogue tips at Nationals. <br /><br />Abbi :-)Abbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04331959381532863335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636039236525599501.post-79509882383330952002011-03-08T12:01:04.042-08:002011-03-08T12:01:04.042-08:00I hate rewriting too.

I get too attached to pieces of dialogue I find brilliant but dont' move the story along!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636039236525599501.post-20045413342216449052011-03-05T15:03:20.218-08:002011-03-05T15:03:20.218-08:00Yes, it is Lacey!

I can't say I'm a fan of the rewrite either.

I'm trying to look at it in a more positive light because the story is better after a rewrite. <br /><br />No worries about the comp. <br /><br />Abbi :-)Abbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04331959381532863335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636039236525599501.post-28962453695844935752011-03-04T02:25:56.944-08:002011-03-04T02:25:56.944-08:00Hey Abbi!

It is painful to lose words, but when the MS ends up so much better, it's worth it.<br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br />Missed the ehar comp (I was busy rewriting my latest!)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14976798701086620849noreply@blogger.com
