Even when you submit it you will still want to add and edit your work. It is never ending. With new eyes from the years that pass, what you wrote now will be different to how you'll write it in the future.
Let it go
On your way to perfection you're going to cut out what really works and your story will not flow as it did before. Lol it is a curse having this perfection mentality but it does help in some respects.
I love witches, there's a lot that's unexplored with them. I wrote a story about them but I scrapped it because I didn't like it. I often do that and just add them in to a different story.
I send my stories to my best friend. He's a contrarian and is a creative going into the film industry. He has a cinematic eye so scenes and pacing is really important to him. Characters and plot development also have to be supplemented and at a high level.
His girlfriend sent me her novel to read through and edit and
But I told her what was wrong. I wrote out multiple pages. Mostly it was a case of not showing and more telling.
You need someone to be honest, otherwise it's a barren womb in a beautiful woman.
It's so true, I feel like ever since I cut out the original ending, I've been struggling with flow, and with ending the story, it's to the point where I haven't worked on it in weeks, out of frustration.
Omg, I do the same thing as you do (the bolded). These characters are from like two scrapped stories. That's funny. I really need to find someone who has that type of eye to review my work. My MA is in writing/english lit. so I know all the elements of plot, story, and character development and whatnot, but I don't have any close friends that have that level of writing experience, so I don't know if I'd trust their review.
Wow! That is really big. Congratulations. I'll look into meetup as a resource. And nah, my book isn't the next twilight. I sort of invented my own "creatures", although there are vampires, and witches in my book, the main characters are new creatures that don't fit into any box at this point. The majority of characters are also black in my story. But, if you'd be interested in reading it--then I'll definitely send it your way, once I'm done with it(I'd appreciate your feedback). Thank you for your advice, you don't know how much you've helped me breh.
Yeah it was big for me. It was quite the experience, thanks. I need to learn how to crank these books out like James Patterson's team. But patience and getting out of my head are prerequisites to that.
Meetup and Facebook groups should keep you well fed for writer references. Summer is almost here and they'll be getting a lot of guests and creatives to speak to them. Some will read manuscripts for a fee as well.

Introducing the strange with the familiar. That's very important to have your own creations in a story like that. It leaves more of a mark than established mythos ever could.
Give your story another read from the start to the end and then put it down. I'm sure you have the original ending in your head still, see where your current story goes. The flow of it may lend itself to the original ending but you'll know by the time you get there.
Put the red ink down
Let it breathe
How is your relationship with your mom? If she's already plugged into English literature that would be the perfect fit.
I'd definitely be interested to give you feedback when you're ready.

thank you for the suggestions, lol. Your right. And I wonder how these authors constantly crank out story after story too. It seems like its taking so long just to do one book. Especially if you have a full time job. How do you make time to write--like how much time do you devote each day to writing?
And my mom is dead. But I'm gonna see about joining a meetup group for writers and try to find someone that might be willing to look it over too.
Well some of these authors work in groups. They will pitch an idea and have a team execute it. I was on one of these teams. There's a lot of planning that goes with it and you have to surrender a lot of control to work like that.
If you don't care for the recognition it's a great way to earn money, but I like control. They took us to the book release in Europe last year and it was amazing. I knew that's what I wanted. Have to cut out the middle men though.
My most productive time is 1-3 AM. I used to wake up from my sleep and start typing away on my typewriter, those beautiful clicks would rise the sun.
Now I still write around the same time but I finish work at night and practice my guitar, Japanese and then write. I get tired and could use that nap, but it's a snail race.
My condolences on your loss.
Good luck on your journey.
Keep me posted.
Damn you play guitar too! And you're learning Japanese. That's whats up. #inspiration. #jealous I want your life. Lol. And yes, I'll keep you posted. Thank you for all your information, breh.
