Once the story's done, there's even MORE reading that comes with checking the formatting, etc. I never thought I'd get sick of my book, but I nearly did.

If I didn't have the internet and IWSG, I wouldn't get much chance, though, since I'm in a small town, and there really aren't a lot of us.<br />I'd be really curious to know what makes up a draft for you, if you ever have time to talk about that in more depth.Karen Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11998786448545138623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17266281.post-65411996664669434182016-10-06T22:26:07.162-04:002016-10-06T22:26:07.162-04:00Sounds like you have a process that works for you....Sounds like you have a process that works for you.

I'm a newbie with the group, and my super-high number reflects it. :)<br /><br />I've never been to a writing conference before, but I'd love to someday. My husband is as supportive as he's capable as being, but he doesn't even read fiction, let alone have any understanding over why in the world I spend so much time writing it.

Sometimes what happens is, I start to notice diminishing returns with my infernal tinkering...that if I keep going, I'm going to make things worse, not better. <br /><br />I have taken a break from IWSG for now, but it's always fun to come back and visit from time to time.
