Sorry I'm a day late.
Pet pee...HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Sorry I'm a day late.<br /><br />Pet peeve for reading? I recently realized that much as I love beautiful writing, I also get jealous and wonder why I didn't write sentences like those. As for editing -- it really gets to me when I read my ms over and over but a friend who reads it still finds glaring errors. It seems I can get so close to my own work I don't see what I should.Helenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14967821142796562697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-22466399976042778942017-08-02T11:20:41.527-06:002017-08-02T11:20:41.527-06:00Pet peeves in reading:

So, I have to search for it.

I go over it so much, between writing in my head, getting it on paper, and then all the re-reading, I just want to wave a magic wand and have it all work out like I envisioned it.<br /><br />And lately, even reading NY Times best selling authors has me wondering just exactly what an engaging, well polished story looks like. Part of that getting older syndrome I guess, lol. dolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.com
