It IS an interesting place to find myself in, though. Almost to marketing.<BR/><BR/>Sara: Yes, I think the critical point is whether it feels right to you as the author. You have to trust your own internal critic at some point! And yay, I'm happy on the word count! {s}Susan Adrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10730673696950405605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23749528.post-1148450971686599872006-05-24T00:09:00.000-06:002006-05-24T00:09:00.000-06:0095 k?

You've really buffed up that word count! <BR/><BR/>I remember that we talked about historical characters in historicals and how a lot of people like them. If you can sneak in some and add depth to the book at the same time, so much the better! <BR/><BR/>I think the danger in that "fine line" is when you change things and, deep down, you think it was better before. It'll go on bugging you, or at least it'd bug me. *g* Me, I don't think you run any risk of that. <BR/><BR/>/Sara EAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23749528.post-1148442051967041952006-05-23T21:40:00.000-06:002006-05-23T21:40:00.000-06:00Congrats on the increased word count - way to go! ...Congrats on the increased word count - way to go! I don't think you're the type of person to pander to trends, though...so I'm nothing thinking you're going to make any edits that will change your baby; rather, just those changes that will add a little depth and more interest.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure it's a little discombobulating to be walking that divide line, though - and interesting, all at the same time. I soooo can't wait to read this!!<BR/><BR/>JulieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23749528.post-1148423604065294322006-05-23T16:33:00.000-06:002006-05-23T16:33:00.000-06:00Linda:The edits do seem to be taking a long time, ...Linda:<BR/><BR/>The edits do seem to be taking a long time, don't they? Well, good news today. 93% done. Now up over 95,000 words. (With the 2000 or so I deleted, that means I've added about 9000 words.) Yay me!<BR/><BR/>SuzeSusan Adrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10730673696950405605noreply@blogger.com
