That every writer, no matter how good or popular, can still improve. Sometimes we think no criticism = good writing. But the truth is, no criticism = bad critiquers.<br /><br />You have a great and imaginative story.

It was also motivated by the sense that I was too close to the project and needed some time and perspective before I could do it justice.<br /><br />It was hard, but making a fresh start was liberating.<br /><br />I wonder if you're in a similar position.Deren Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11260147750947135832noreply@blogger.com
