The idea was to get a story finished -- no half-baked, almost completed manuscripts like so many tend to end up. Of course, everyone is entitled to an opinion. <br />Glad to see you back :-)Author and Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06275313084319285562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5624284166859065697.post-81963545126279280312009-12-06T00:31:04.136-08:002009-12-06T00:31:04.136-08:00i'm sorry to say this, but a lot of words does...i'm sorry to say this, but a lot of words doesn't mean they were good, thought out words. maybe they were just a bunch of words that don't tell much. maybe it's better to write half as many words that are twice as better because more time went into them.<br /><br />quantity doesn't equal or deliver quality. of course, i'm saying this without actually seeing those words, and maybe they're fantastic. but chances are they're not.brainsnortshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13458870570337933331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5624284166859065697.post-61891310805081696562009-12-01T05:57:44.434-08:002009-12-01T05:57:44.434-08:00Well done!

Seriou...It's like the iron man race of writing! Seriously, it can drive you crazy as it's very time-consuming, averaging 3 to 4 hours of continuous writing and 1700 to 2000 words a day. I guess I could have made it just a hodge-podge of words with a nonsense plot, but that seemed a waste of time. So, I made a serious effort. It needs a lot of polishing, but I have TIME now to do that :-)<br />And thanks for the congrats.Author and Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06275313084319285562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5624284166859065697.post-54928969197547253762009-11-30T11:54:13.936-08:002009-11-30T11:54:13.936-08:00Congratulations!
