It’s always encouraging when you pick up a manuscript you’ve been setting aside for several months…and it ends up being better than you remember. I’m completely biased, of course, but The Stonemen’s Legacy isn’t total crap after all. Apart from a few doofy sections that need to be spruced up a bit, it was remarkably fun to read.
Obviously, my opinion only counts for so much seeing as how I’m still unpublished. Even so, I’m a bit of a perfectionist, and have no problems being brutally honest with myself. Only time will tell if the rest of the literary world agrees with me. 😉
So, I’m striking onward fearlessly. Encouragement is something every writer could use more of, especially those of us who can’t yet rush to the local bookstore and see our works in print.
Hi. This is Winnie from SCBWI.
It’s always good when you can pick up old stuff and feel encouraged. I re-read a short story I wrote two years ago, and even though it’s got serious problems-it had some good stuff.
I hope you write the rock book. 🙂
Hi Winnie! Glad we had a chance to meet and talk at the SCBWI event. The rock book is still on my mind, and I’m seriously considering writing it 😉 How’s your own writing going?
