I'm biting the bullet and paying for a developmental editor. I don't know for sure if it'll get me closer to #traditional #publication, but keep your fingers crossed for me #writingcommunity ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿคž๐Ÿคž #๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š

Ooo I like that too! But I understand the hesitation. Chiseling away at a novel takes so much energy. I'm always astounded by how exhausted I feel after.

There's still a chance. If your other books do, you can always bring it back to the table. What was the title?

Thank you!! That's really helpful. It was from a poem I wrote that never really worked, but I always loved that one line.

Has anyone watched The Great Mouse Detective recently? I swear, Trump saw Ratigan as an idol, and Elon as his personal Felicia.

#booksky #literaturesky #writingcommunity I need #feedback on my #novel ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š. My pinned post gives more details, but it's #adult #literary #speculative #fiction. I'm not sensitive to #critiques and need to know that everything makes sense and keeps your interest. Any takers? DM me if so. Thanks!

Dang! Mine fell behind the couch once, and another time I left it in a bag I rarely used, so I didn't think to look there. But if it's not somewhere like that, then I think you got some gnomes who just needed something good to read.

There is no fatigue like editing-fatigue, but congrats on getting it done! I hope you still like it in the morning. I know that's my issue. I'll love something I wrote in the dark, then when morning comes ... yikes.
