Way to massage a headline, Renee — I love it. Bravo and congrats!
I know what you mean, Linda. I get lost in my own work. I don’t mean I get lost in it in the sense that I lose myself. I get lost in the sense that I fogret some of the earlier nuances when I’m reading or editing later. I did find, however, that when I’d get to certain parts I’d think my character Rosa should do this or that next and I’d read what she was doing next and it was exactly what I was thinking, so intuitively Rosa is consistent in my mind. Anyway, you’d think I’d know exactly what my characters were doing in every chapter, but that’s why I keep a little outline of my book, so I can refresh my memory at a glance. Seems silly, doesn’t it? Anyway, I hope this makes sense. I love reading your posts, even if I don’t always comment.
I found out about a competition I rellay wanted to enter just a week before the deadline. I’d got the opening chapter of a novel (which was what needed to be subbed), but it was unedited. Over the following week I edited it 5 times. By the end I was sick of it, but although I’d read it twice (once out loud) I wasn’t convinced about having no problems.My boyfriend and Mum read it and found about 8 words missing, in the wrong order etc etc. I was gutted, but just proves what you say had I have had time to put it away for weeks/months I would’ve seen those silly mistakes myself.Well done for taking your own advice. And good luck with sending it out.
