Constructive criticism: Reader Report # 2

So last week, I handed over my manuscript to my editor and asked her to tear it apart and tell me what I did wrong. It's never easy receiving criticism, but this was about as painless as it comes. My editor is so wonderful. She has taken an experience that could potentially be so frightening and made it a breeze. I cannot say it enough. If you need editing and/or critique services, check out Taryn Albright. You won't regret it.

This is my second Reader Report from Taryn. The last report prompted some major changes and a lot of work. What did she have to say this time? Well, I'm on the right track. There are a few things that still need work, but the good news is the major changes I made the last go round worked well. Basically there are things here and there that need to be improved and I need to work on my use of commas and periods, and dialog tags. (Confession: I suck at grammar.) So at least one more pass is needed, but I'll have it done by February.

I can't get into what's ahead, because I haven't fully formulated a plan. When I know what my next steps are going to be, I'll write another blog...but for now I'm going to bed.

"Ab ovo" versus "In medias res"

"From the beginning" versus "In the midst of things" I have heard two very different schools of thought on where to start a story. It is such a contested subject that there are words for both methods. Ab ovo: From the beginning. Followers of this method argue that a reader cannot car about a story if they do not first care about the character. In this method the story starts with the main characters day to day life and gives you an opportunity to get to know them and care about them. This does not necessarily mean you see the them from birth, you just see their normal life before the inciting incident (the event that happens to the protagonist to change their life from the norm and sparks the action of the story). For example: We see Dorothy in Kansas before she goes to OZ. We see Katniss in District 12 before the reaping. We see Harry with the Dursleys before the owls start to show up. There are many who start their stories in the most lo...

Emails, and freak outs, and swords! Oh my!

So I was supposed to send my manuscript to the editor April 11th. Today I received a surprise email, she had finished a project and could take my MS early. Yep, I totally freaked out. You can ask my co-workers. "Is my face red? I feel like my face is red. Oh god, I'm not supposed to be this scared am I? That can't be normal. Oh god." I was so excited, so scared, so nervous, all at once. It is amazing that one person can feel some many emotions together. I don't know anything to compare it to. So, I came home, gave it a once over, made sure the format was correct to Taryn's specifications, and then I did the scariest thing I've done in my writing career. I sent my MS, my 10 year journey, my 4 month old baby, to an almost complete stranger. Taryn said she should be done by this weekend, but life happens so it may be longer. Until then I am supposed to stay occupied. Shouldn't be hard as I have a stac...

Rejection

Rejection is part of the creative process, any author/artist/creator will tell you that. Does its commonality make it easier? No. Many great people faced rejection before success. 12 publishers rejected JK Rowling. Stephen King's Carrie was rejected 30 times. Beatrix Potter had to self publish. Do these facts make rejection easier? Nope. Today I officially received my first rejection. I will admit, I cried and was sick. Its hard to hear that someone isn't interested in your work. Its not just something you whipped together in a matter of hours and plopped down for the world to see. Its years of hard work, scarified free time and social life, and deep soul searching. Its not an easy to thing to let someone see it. Its the most vulnerable I've ever been in my life. All that being said, I have to say that my first rejection was probably one of the most kind rejections anyone has ever received. The agent didn't say it wasn't good, or even that it was flawed. She si...
