You may not be a novice anymore though, but I'm really enjoying reading these earlier postings. <br />I must admit, my blog, if you happen to look at it, is full of first drafts. I have to do it because school severely cuts into writing time and in order to post anything to the blog, it has to be first drafts or I'd never get anything posted.<br />I look forward to reading more of your postings.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13275104680600234109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3844991587715792387.post-83229091594028968302010-09-23T10:46:09.447-04:002010-09-23T10:46:09.447-04:00"Pages and pages of ‘then’s’ and ‘just’s.’. L..."Pages and pages of ‘then’s’ and ‘just’s.’. Lots of ‘as’ man. Lots of them. Newer writers are beginning their sentences with “finally” and “suddenly”."<br /><br />*Cringes and shudders* My first draft was like that. The story was brilliant, but the writing was terrible! I'm so glad I didn't go and try to get it published right away. <br /><br />I've learned so much this past year. I learned heaps from WriteOnCon, and discovered that the draft I'd been querying wasn't ready enough to be queried. It was still full of beginner's mistakes. I'm now taking my time to fix those mistakes, and this time I'm going to be patient enough to wait until the writing is as brilliant as the story ;)Tessa Quinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12619129838476851241noreply@blogger.com
