Whew, what a rush! I'm taking a course to help me write my novel, where every 10 days I turn in 10,000 words to the instructor. She reviews the chapters and sends me feedback on what needs to be improved.
I just finished fixing up the first few chapters, though I am sure they still need a touch-up or two. The feedback was great; constructive but still positive. Best part of all? She likes the story! A person can be taught the mechanics of writing, but as someone once said - it is very difficult to teach the craft of writing.
Since I was basking in the glory of my review from the instructor, the news that neither of my short stories placed in the Wirter's Digest Annual Competition didn't hit me too hard.
On to session two and the next 10k!
