Hmmmm...

UPDATE YOUR BLOG

Man this site is pushy!!! Daily email to remind me to post something inane about my life. Ha ha.

Well, work sucked the big chalupa this week. So I went to my 'in person' writing group as an escape and a piece I submitted (a re-write of a prologue) impressed some and didn't really captivate one.

It's always tough in writing group, because if all four people say the same thing, positive or negative, my decision is made...I need to change whatever that was or I've definitely struck something. But if only one person says something, it's hard to know what to do. This one person in particular always makes excellent suggestions and I've used many of them.

However, now I'm at an impass. The other three enjoyed the re-write, thought it was much better than the original, yet this one guy did not. I didn't like hearing it, but I don't know if it's because I don't really agree with him or if I really do agree with him but just don't want to do another stinking re-write of this prologue.

I decided to sleep on it and when I awoke, I was still torn. The other problem is that these people know what happens in the story, so they can't unlearn what they already know about these characters, so they were kind of tainted for this re-write.

Ahh writing...all part of the fun.
