Those are the two items on my mind today.
1. I was just 'strongly encouraged' to add another scene to my MS. This coming from my amazing critique partners. I always hear my girls out, they know what their doing. Their talented, and I know they have the me, and my MS's best interest at heart. Long story short, I followed their advice. And I LOVE it.
So I wonder, how do you feel when someone suggests a change to your work? What is your process for considering it? Does it depend on the person, the amount of work?
I guess the moral of the story is get yourself some good critique partners.
2. Tomorrow morning, at the crack of dawn, we get on a plane for Gulf Shores. Yay!! Beach and sun...hopefully. There better not be any hurricanes or I'm going to be PISSED!!! ugh.
This will be the first time my three boys fly. I'm nervous about that, but also very excited. They will love it.
Happy Thursday everyone!!

4 want to speak:
Critiques can be confusing when you can't work out whether to follow the advice or stick to what you wrote. Most times, I know right away whether or not a suggestion will work for my story, but if not, I usually talk to the person who suggested it and find out the deeper reasons why they thought the change was needed. :)
Have a great holiday!
I am so in LOVE with the new scene. I'm love your characters and this book and I'm proud of you for pushing harder and digging deeper. This scene balances out the story on so many levels.
And I'm glad it works for you, too.
@Natasha I love you for making me dig deeper. You're right, it does balance things. And it's so yummy!! :)
I always have to add new scenes, because I write too sparsely in the beginning. It's such a great feeling to see it all come together. Congrats!
