In the end, Sarah's right; if you put it on the shelf for six months and *still* love it when you come back to it, it stays.<br /><br />Writing's just not like arithmatic, is it? Depending on the editor, two apples plus two apples could equal four apples or the whole garden of eden or why apples, why not oranges? or there's no market for apples at the moment but thanks for subbing.Mother (Re)produces.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07685333905652373606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-886973989126256383.post-37957579747540123692010-04-15T00:57:15.264+02:002010-04-15T00:57:15.264+02:00I've had that with my manuscript - the beginni...I've had that with my manuscript - the beginning is too fast (the first chapter should be three!) and too slow (really need to speed up the action) and I'd like to scream now please.<br /><br />I also tried my hand at erotic romance. Response: the story is good, if you get rid of the erotic bits. And maybe the romance bits. But the rest is good.<br /><br />Um.

It's very polarizing and I get a lot of hate it/love it; keep it/get rid of it. What do you do with that, eh?<br /><br />For me, I decided <i>I</i> loved it and it's staying. I just need to hook up with an agent and an editor who also love it. Had an editor who did, but she got laid off.
