Just saying it how it is ;) Finally going to post later today, editing has taken over my life somewhat...

And actually, I even enjoyed the initial bang because I knew a character wasn't coming off the page as I wanted but couldn't quite work out why and the slap round my face with the manuscript was a revelation! I'm so excited about it, spending every spare minute re-writing at the moment. I hope your writing's going well, Karin?

Kudos to you because I can't generally carry on with a book however gripping the story if I don't like the way it's written. I'd love to know what you thought of The Sealed Letter, do you think you'll read it? Thanks for popping in, Antonia!

But sometimes you have to be slapped around the face with the full force of the 380 sheets of A4 manuscript before you really see it."<br />I know exactly what you must have felt. Something very similar's just happened to me. The good thing is that it does help us learn and that the sattisfaction, once we succeed, is tremendous. That compensates for the initial bang ;-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04150893479106567596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233719410107288850.post-31969135479467744442013-05-15T12:49:55.022+01:002013-05-15T12:49:55.022+01:00Funnily enough i didn't like the way the autho...Funnily enough i didn't like the way the author wrote 'room'-too forced !!!!!But great book ......Antoniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14273689296994421344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233719410107288850.post-77586861807546886082013-05-09T05:17:12.641+01:002013-05-09T05:17:12.641+01:00Hi Pauline, yes it's horrendous, particularly ...Hi Pauline, yes it's horrendous, particularly the existence of the six year old child which couldn't be closer to the plot of Room, could it?
