I think every year I improve in a few areas of my writing and then I see where I still need to improve. Last year I think I found my unique writing voice and style. This year I'm working on plot: pacing, turning points, climax,... One of these years I'll get it all right. :) Christyerica and christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13074820593371226159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1897238162318789476.post-30935649451096272792014-07-29T14:16:38.771-04:002014-07-29T14:16:38.771-04:00Popped in to see what you were doing today.Popped in to see what you were doing today.The Happy Whiskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13438469476168485775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1897238162318789476.post-60480328740857913452014-06-05T18:52:38.022-04:002014-06-05T18:52:38.022-04:00Oh, I really like your list.

And still, I keep writing. :shrug: <br /><br />I hope in the midst of all your evaluating and the encroaching writerly darkness, you're taking some time to enjoy the world around you. Sometimes that helps stave off the darkness. :hugs: B.E.

(Never sent to agents - knew it was a long shot for me and would take too long.I wish I'd spent that time in between working on a sequel. I could've had books come our faster if I'd been prepared.<br />If you've had those requests, then you know you are really close!Alex J.
