In all honesty, it's wonderful to see how much a writer improves their craft over time!<br /><br />Liz, I'm in the revisions process, too. I'm making notes on things I'm changing in the beginning that are supposed to influence later aspects so I can make sure I don't forget those changes later.<br /><br />Charity, I agree about betas. Different betas seem to naturally focus on different aspects of the story and that can be a great help to writers. I know some writers have to go through a trial and error process before they find their perfect combination of betas, but I think it's worth it. And LOL@2x4. I agree. Nano is great in its own right, but the authors have to realize they have to go back and refine the work they produce during Nano.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15134478652819994383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4393512822627120580.post-85399363165018129572015-07-22T08:08:17.717-05:002015-07-22T08:08:17.717-05:00This is so true! I have so many betas. Each of the...This is so true! I have so many betas. Each of them is invaluable for the different places in my process. They are the ones that let me know when the manuscript is ready. I've learned that I can't separate what's in my head from what's on the paper so I let them do it. :)<br /><br />I also think this is a problem propagated by Nanowrimo. Not intentionally mind you, but that whole process is about free writing and getting the story written. Too many new writers stop there and think they've created the next big thing. It's those people I want to take a 2x4 to until they wake up.

I just revised the beginning, and now I'm making sure that these revisions haven't changed anything later on.Liz A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531953467834426316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4393512822627120580.post-40680717566232959322015-07-21T08:30:43.312-05:002015-07-21T08:30:43.312-05:00I like to edit a ms that has a good plot but needs...I like to edit a ms that has a good plot but needs to have its face washed and hair combed. I've never had authors who didn't learn to improve their work.<br /><br />Love,<br />JanieJanie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.com
