Congratulations
By Cynthia Spurr on Apr 19, 2010 in fiction writing, writing
Congratulations to two of our writers. While I’ve been lacking in my commitment to my writing, my fellow writers have not been lacking in their commitment. Two of my fellow writers are nearing the completion of their first final draft.
Their goal: to have a complete final draft done by July and August respectively. If things go according to plan, I will be reviewing 2 draft novels amid a very tight business schedule. I can’t wait.

The problem: while critiquing is necessary and fun, it does make it hard to follow the plot and time line…sometimes. It’s kind of like looking at a grain of sand under a magnifying glass versus enjoying the beach. I look forward to reading the completed manuscript like any other reader from beginning to end.
While the little details are are easy to see in short 20-30 pages, the overall feel, flow, and tempo are sometimes missing. It will be quite an adventure to sit back and get to know the characters in a totally new and unique way. Will I see the characters the same way? Will I feel the same feelings for the good guys and the bad guys? Who knows, but I am looking forward to finding out.
Who knows maybe I’ll finally get inspired seeing a completed novel and start carving out daily time to finish my own novel.
Bring It On!

Thanks, Cindy.
Two more chapters. Two. More. Chapters.
