It's tempting to have someone else read your first draft and tell you what needs the most work--I think that's mean and rather lazy at this point in the rewrite process :-)<BR/><BR/>When you hand it over to someone else you should have the confidence of knowing you have done a thorough job of fixing anything you CAN see.Josihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10615874450489497826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113459088262891680.post-63113776036218051452008-02-23T20:04:00.000-07:002008-02-23T20:04:00.000-07:00Great post, Josi!

Sometimes you can't see them yourself.Annette Lyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12493583432919249814noreply@blogger.com
