I am terrified of becoming satisfied that, once in hard print, shows itself to be a shabby imitation of my original vision. Right now I'm getting feedback from a couple more beta readers before delving into my second "hard edit" --- I did the first one shortly after you critiqued my pages. I know I'll have at least one more layer of betas and editing beyond that...maybe more. Will see where it takes me.<br /><br />Thanks again for your help! Long live the #stabbylove, and the writers willing to serve it up!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05145626477713347271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693014699643165460.post-12351563015511628872012-01-14T02:23:47.810-05:002012-01-14T02:23:47.810-05:00I'm sorry it took so long to comment, but I di...I'm sorry it took so long to comment, but I did read this post when it was first published. I usually don't comment on other people's blogs, but since I was featured in this post.... <br /><br />Well, I'm just grateful that you took my advice without they typical defensive attitude that I'm up against. It means a lot for me to work with people who know how to take criticism. That alone shows promise. And as they say...you can only help those who'll help themselves. I have no doubt that you will be successful one day. You have the right attitude and dedication. And your writing? It was great. That doesn't mean I can't stab it though...S. A.

Especially on the internet, sometimes you run into people who just want to be negative, but my motto is "if you don't trust the person, don't trust the opinion."<br /><br />If I know that person's advice is meant to help me, like with your writer friend or in a critique group, I try to be grateful for it! Although sometimes my ego gets in the way ;)Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14566791637480857887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693014699643165460.post-14517858012765048412011-12-16T09:57:43.748-05:002011-12-16T09:57:43.748-05:00I agree!
