That's when you really have to weigh what they're saying and try your best to stay true to the story.

I think working with the same critiquers could help create continuity, but what Corey said also means you should review the comments and decide which ones to make. If you are new to writing - how do you know? I guess you just have to feel it.KM Nallehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714392426676743868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1071530951319652632.post-39888478750546696802011-06-10T18:10:52.022-04:002011-06-10T18:10:52.022-04:00It's a very tough question because the industr...It's a very tough question because the industry is so subjective. My friend had two crits this weekend on the same manuscript and got pretty much OPPOSITE feedback from two professional editors!Corey Schwartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03883689227283545602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1071530951319652632.post-45249782142505369412011-06-10T16:46:51.711-04:002011-06-10T16:46:51.711-04:00It does seem to be easier when we have a group to ...It does seem to be easier when we have a group to work with. They get to know our strengths and weaknesses and our style of writing. They know just where to push each story.

Those who have been there each week and got to know the novel, even though only a chapter is read each week, are willing to make major editing suggestions.<br />AnnAnn Summervillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13300190648788509096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1071530951319652632.post-44871461717380334922011-06-06T18:30:28.556-04:002011-06-06T18:30:28.556-04:00Good question!

I'm glad I revised because I was missing a whole paragraph. After this I'm done because I don't think at this point I can do much better. I have to walk away and hope someone in the publishing world likes my pet and helps me raise it better.Taffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11796711977284429278noreply@blogger.com
