I know I hesitate to give a structural crit because I may hurt the person's feelings or get all my hard work (I can spend HOURS crafting a good crit) brushed off.Karina Fabianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06937791512486438983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25667786.post-50215921534026521532011-02-03T02:47:21.976-07:002011-02-03T02:47:21.976-07:00Amen.

Most of them turn into editing groups counting every "is" or "was" and pointing out the punctuation marks missed or whether a certain word is used correctly. <br /><br />What I need before I get to all that is the "big picture" what works. What doesn't. Did you feel satified with the ending. Were there parts that were boring? And as important as where I missed the mark is identifying places where I hit a home run. <br /><br />Good post.Terri mainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084883478386476891noreply@blogger.com
