I think the fact that she's brought it to my attention may help me at least be aware of all the little 'extras' I add in there.<BR/><BR/>Christine, I totally agree about the accountability--I just didn't need to be accountable to a group anymore (or so I thought)--I thought I could manage on my own. And there's been a little snag, but I will!Alyssa Goodnighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12563271888054706202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13449892.post-56452413976375445402007-08-07T04:29:00.000-07:002007-08-07T04:29:00.000-07:00I know I find that accountability a major motivato...I know I find that accountability a major motivator myself. Even if it's as simple as putting the word count on my blog, it helps me keep going. I'm lucky that I have my own computer for writing and don't have to share. I'd never get anything done otherwise. <BR/><BR/>And have fun with the world domination!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12777733587200293442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13449892.post-48099725087699046792007-08-07T01:43:00.000-07:002007-08-07T01:43:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15915574703913955296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13449892.post-45927594465588629382007-08-06T15:58:00.000-07:002007-08-06T15:58:00.000-07:00I was working with a critique partner for a while ...I was working with a critique partner for a while and she said basically the same thing about my stuff as yours said about you. Then she sent me a scene she had written - twice - once the way she says I write and once in what she considered a better way. Personally I liked the one written the way I write better. Which just goes to show that sometimes it is just a matter of preference and the bottom line is, it's your story so you have to be happy with the final product. You can take as much or as little of her advice as you want - it's only one person's opinion.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07820350511791595345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13449892.post-16318575393541964362007-08-06T07:29:00.000-07:002007-08-06T07:29:00.000-07:00Good luck with getting back in the swing of writin...Good luck with getting back in the swing of writing every day. I'm kicking my butt back into gear this week too. I'm so much more productive when I do. Otherwise, I waste precious time rereading to get back into the flow of the story.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for mentioning Me and Mr. Darcy. I've been thinking of picking it up. Now I will. :)Anissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02773384041569563564noreply@blogger.com
