Thanks for the extra push in that direction.<br />And did I 'hear' you mention pregnancy?

I really did like the book "First Draft in 30 Days"--it helped me create a solid story (even if I didn't follow it exactly).Stephanie Damorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01495050993591963629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2630091528364380402.post-773054212058948042010-11-16T23:54:08.581-05:002010-11-16T23:54:08.581-05:00Definitely agree with the motion to walk away for ...Definitely agree with the motion to walk away for a while. It really works wonders. <br /><br />I took about six months off of dedicated writing earlier this year. After editing on my first MS for over a year, and still not being happy, I sat it aside. I was hardly even reading during this time. <br /><br />And when I came back to it, I had gotten far enough away to admit that I just needed to start over. But see I'm not an outline person. So I had to throw out 120,000 words instead of 38 pages of outline. <br /><br />Maybe I should start doing outlines... <br /><br />~TaraTara Lindsay Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00970258984995282462noreply@blogger.com
