I was about a quarter of the way through and I let some friends read the first 15,000 words.<br>They gave me some feed back and I found myself doing revisions based on their feedback, and not writing the story anymore.<br>After two months of making no forward progress, I stopped myself and started writing again. Even though a few people have asked to see more, I've resisted the temptation because I didn't get side tracked again.<br>Not that I've finished the first draft, I'm glad that I made that choice. It's good to finished something.Douglas G Clarkehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02618565321153140988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922561838307837931.post-24729793278291591582010-01-24T07:08:16.981-05:002010-01-24T07:08:16.981-05:00I think that before I started thinking seriously a...I think that before I started thinking seriously about publication, I enjoyed writing more, regardless of the draft number.<br><br>Now, I worry about every word, every sentence. Does this sound sharp enough? Does it flow? Is it necessary? Is it trite? Did I pick the right POV? Is there enough tension? What will an agent or editor think of this paragraph?<br><br>Kind of takes the fun out of it.Christine Hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01745824744507928211noreply@blogger.com
