It sits at 480 words now, but a lot of that are words on what I can show.Anne-Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14709749857287351333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5626296225609747433.post-27493483196355231642012-02-02T11:08:33.222-05:002012-02-02T11:08:33.222-05:00I've got a great beginning - I need to get the...I've got a great beginning - I need to get the end great to...it's the backside that holds up the front side!Melissa Meadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12734689775379972661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5626296225609747433.post-76706306799024924552012-02-01T11:59:08.680-05:002012-02-01T11:59:08.680-05:00My story is finally coming together but I am strug...My story is finally coming together but I am struggling with the words.

The good news is that living with it so long, you get totally invested and then you pretty much HAVE to make it work. I don't give up on projects easily. :-)BonnieAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033605628106047385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5626296225609747433.post-53123081588659880172012-01-30T20:57:04.894-05:002012-01-30T20:57:04.894-05:00I’m sure that I’m not the first to say this: writi...I’m sure that I’m not the first to say this: writing the book is easy. It’s the REwriting that’s the hard part. Coming back with “fresh eyes,” as you say, and realizing that, while you were away, your “masterpiece” has turned to dross! Actually, it’s not usually THAT bad, but one definitely notices that a word or two needs changing, or a phrase needs to go here instead of there, or this sentence needs to be tightened up. I mean, this is a picture book, not “War and Peace.” One or two words out of place can make a HUGE difference. However, all that being said: mine (I’m working on two) are coming along just fine.Peter Spenserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18317246557600202574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5626296225609747433.post-16601680726444311612012-01-30T16:54:26.853-05:002012-01-30T16:54:26.853-05:00Interesting.
