So, I am calling 2011 the year of learning.<br /><br />First thing I learned in 2011 - a complete, blank page re-write was necessary for my MG sci-fi trilogy. Ouch, right?

LOL Actually, I would be surprised--no editor or agent would be working over the Christmas holiday, or I would hope not (I mean, they'd better have lives).<br /><br />Yeah, my goals took longer--still writing my WIP after 6 months, and usually I'm DONE by 3 or 4 months. But I did revisions on another novel in between, so I'm not really worried. <br />Good luck with your goals for 2011!Carol Riggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14092209912983783974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515903861204137058.post-40789641946291977592011-01-03T14:12:11.489-06:002011-01-03T14:12:11.489-06:00Big goals for this year.

In the end, I spent most of last year rewriting the other novel (including changing it to present tense), and really studying the craft of writing. As for the new project. I finally finished the first draft a few days before Christmas. Better late than never. ;)Stinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11415189347501942340noreply@blogger.com
