It struck me simply as exquisite.<br /><br />Also, yes, I have fallen in love with my characters before....<br /><br />Xoxoxo<br /><br />P.S. Forgot to say, congratulations on finishing it! Deadlines have served that exact purpose for me before too (frequently, in fact). I'm so glad you completed and submitted it.Emeraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00819037087504004841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987049796144967029.post-80355009983019501542011-03-02T19:31:41.078-05:002011-03-02T19:31:41.078-05:00That song brings back such memories!

Certainly a process. <br /><br />The thing is, though, that being helped sharpen and refine, and fix and perfect is an act of love in itself, perhaps (which is maybe why I love editing). Let me do this for you, let me smooth this for you, let me help you shine. You know? <br /><br /><br />So it can be great to learn how to use that, and accept it. I'm glad you have Emerald, that's great. I'm pathetically grateful to have Danielle and Nikki to throw my first drafts at and collapse on the floor and say, help me, fix it for me, tell me what to dooooo! <br /><br />It's exciting you get to go back and do Part 2 with your characters now. I still haven't met that deadline and I'm still hoping to... yet... here I am... must go do something productive before it gets any later.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08988685736635515808noreply@blogger.com
