I'm a returning member from a long time ago, I took a long break from writing on a personal level and with the feeling I was never going to truly finish a book, no matter how many times I write and rewrite it.
Recently, and I don't fully understand why, I understood that my "book" was more likely to be a series of 15 books. No matter how many times I drafted, I added more and the world grew.
When I post here, I understand that the work isn't finished. I post when I need a break from the piece in question, for fresh eyes to rip it a new one so I have the fire to better it again. These posts give a small sense of accomplishment though (it's at a stage where I'm not totally embarrassed by the thought of someone reading it)
Long term now, I'm looking to actually write for real this time, traditional publishing, as opposed to the "has potential" level I used to "finish" at. If I succeed or not is another matter.
Empty praise really isn't worth much, when I review I point out what I like and what I don't, posting every thought I have. I hope for the same in response, please, if you take the time to read my work, rip it a new one. I would be grateful.
I'm an English teacher, a translator, and business document editor but don't let that stop you. ;-) |
