So today I put the ms aside to write a query letter for the story I was trying to tell. That exercise really helped - I created a "hook" about the "book" I wanted to write.

The bit about sometimes having to slog through a novel: I always thought that meant the story had run out of steam. But, no, it's just something I might have to disguise later. Incredible insight.

Jim Averbeck you are amazingly talented, have crazy talent, and are inspiring! :) <br /><br />So I was really excited today after being fairly pooped out by ReviMo and 12x12 yesterday. But today I posted a manuscript on the Manuscript Makeover of 12x12 and received some great responses which I planned to make my ReviMo project of the day. Well I'll be working on it more tomorrow, as I believe I've killed it. What wasn't once poopy now is. Whah, whah, whah. See you all tomorrow.teresa m.i. schaeferhttp://tschaefer.wix.com/twritesnoreply@blogger.com
