And, yeah, Amy...Writing group magic. It worked! <br />And, yeah, Amy's right about looking at something with "new eyes." <br />You'll figure it out!Catherine Stinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08131569196977321229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4362265654912269336.post-75662300537775226662010-09-21T09:45:29.178-07:002010-09-21T09:45:29.178-07:00Alisa, when you start reading, I bet you'll fi...Alisa, when you start reading, I bet you'll find that you really like it, and you'll get excited to get back into it. I think that taking a break is so useful for revision. You can come to the manuscript with fresh eyes, and all kinds of little things jump out at you.

Good luck in revising your mss.Catherine Stinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08131569196977321229noreply@blogger.com
