She had given me feedback on something before I left and I guess I didn't heed her advice and did the thing again! <br /><br />She's got a great eye for line edit issues, but also for pacing and inconsistency and loose ends.billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187141867284800597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-60198414043873976422009-10-20T10:13:43.952-05:002009-10-20T10:13:43.952-05:00Michelle, if you write, or maybe even if you don&#...Michelle, if you write, or maybe even if you don't, but would like to, I highly recommend a focused retreat to give yourself time to work w/o all the usual daily demands most of us have on our time.<br /><br />I usually take 2-3 writing retreats per year. The time away, focused on my writing, both honors it and allows me to steep with whatever I'm working on.billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187141867284800597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-40469062906019206612009-10-20T10:02:46.711-05:002009-10-20T10:02:46.711-05:00As always your husband has taken another wonderful...As always your husband has taken another wonderful photo. Your house sounds so peaceful and lovely too. Isn't it nice to have help from a daughter when you need the objectivity, she will be an invaluable source of help during the process of this middle grade novel I'm sure. I've always loved a critic who will be honest. <br /><br />I'm sure you're anxious to get back to the retreat, enjoy your writing.Grey Horse Mattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837575441967937196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-58115923335544577892009-10-20T10:01:47.032-05:002009-10-20T10:01:47.032-05:00How nice of you to share your 24 hour break with u...How nice of you to share your 24 hour break with us, Billie! I have never gone to a writer's retreat before, but it sounds interesting - and highly productive! Hope you enjoy the remainder of it.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09290776916085658669noreply@blogger.com
