And goo...I hope you and your man have lots of fun!<br /><br />And good for you for realizing you need to delete things. It hurt the first few times I did it, but once you get used to it and can see your story getting better, it's not as bad :)Stephanie Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01258321385403403810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924501319424473642.post-1541543654154859732013-05-23T14:09:37.910-07:002013-05-23T14:09:37.910-07:00LOL that sounds like you!

The companion to CNV comes out in less than two weeks in the UK, so I've been casually peeking into bookstores in case it accidentally gets released early. monhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18201230261338132778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924501319424473642.post-5822008529365590102013-05-22T23:30:59.595-07:002013-05-22T23:30:59.595-07:00Yeah, such a pain, but so long as I keep doing the...Yeah, such a pain, but so long as I keep doing these silly exercises and going to physio it should come right :)<br />Yeah, I think it's just taking a while for my story to fall into its natural rhythm, but we're getting there :)<br />Thanks - I'm sooo excited!Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12231494996711068641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924501319424473642.post-50925807425673190562013-05-22T23:21:01.554-07:002013-05-22T23:21:01.554-07:00Sorry to hear about the slipped disc in your neck!...Sorry to hear about the slipped disc in your neck! Neck pain and headaches make writing very tough. It's great to hear you're making progress with your story, even if that means rewriting certain parts. Sometimes it takes a while to figure out exactly how the story should be told, and then things fall into place nicely. Have fun visiting your man! You guys deserve a visit after two months apart!Erin L.

It's so great!<br /><br />Like Jaime said - props to you for realizing what was wrong with your story and fixing it. Cutting an entire narrator is such a difficult thing to tackle! I rewrote my first ms from third-past to first-present and it was a ton of work but so the right thing to do!<br /><br />Jessica Spotswoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12881559695365177034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924501319424473642.post-20604891878049802932013-05-22T18:59:51.023-07:002013-05-22T18:59:51.023-07:00I know, I'm so incredibly excited, i'll ha...I know, I'm so incredibly excited, i'll have to make him a giant banana and chocolate cake!<br /><br />It wasn't easy to do, trust me. All these weeks of work and just pressing delete but it's nice to take a step back and say "actually, this isn't any good for the story and it would progress a lot easier if this was just...gone". It's quite refreshing to hit the delete button and start again!Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12231494996711068641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924501319424473642.post-54656709939697587162013-05-22T18:56:59.015-07:002013-05-22T18:56:59.015-07:00That's so exciting that your man is coming to ...That's so exciting that your man is coming to see you! I hope you guys have tons of fun. :-)<br /><br />The fact that you are able to see what isn't working in your story and that you're willing to scrap it is inspiring to me. I've been struggling with my own story and probably need to take a page from your book and start deleting.Jaime Morrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03023932422477544525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924501319424473642.post-48836057200378165252013-05-22T16:56:59.345-07:002013-05-22T16:56:59.345-07:00That's good to know, I'm still quite near ...That's good to know, I'm still quite near the beginning but I'm looking forward to really getting into it!
