With the words happy flowing I found myself becoming deeply frustrated by the wonky word meter. Then I wondered if it was just the blog layout that wasn't accepting it........and voila. New look and no wonky meter! Not sure if I like it as much but it doesn't have to stay forever.
I now have a dilema.......new wip is going so well but I have had a crit back on ACH not the RNA NWS report but another. I have two open doors waiting for ACH. Do I run with this crit now and polish it so that I have submissions out there again? Or do I keep with the new? Or maybe just until I receive the NWS report?
If you are wondering what the crit said.......it was positive. I have suceeded in turning the story around! Yes, there is work to do but thankfully nothing major..........
What would you do?
It's a difficult one. I suspect the sensible answer is to polish and then sub while writing this one, but I'd be inclined to do what I felt most passionately about!
ReplyDeleteExcellent news about the positive crit Liz. (Can you tell us who you used?)
Personally, I would work on finishing ACH, if you trust the crit.
ReplyDeleteIf you have two open doors, you want to get it out there.
FWIW
I'm in a similar postition, but with less than three weeks until I finish the WiP, I'm holding off.
ReplyDeleteKnowing me, in your place, I'd try to do both at the same time and stick my head in a bucket any time my hair caught fire... :-)
I suppose I could start the polish - but I don't want to stop the flow - but Steve I don't think I could work on the two - I'm pretty good at multi-tasking but that's only if they are involved in the same arena.......
ReplyDeleteMichelle, you're right I must get work out there again. When is Frankfurt over? Also showing my ignorance here FWIW?
JJ - the crit was by Caroline Upcher aka Hope McIntyre......
Congratulations on the positive crit.
ReplyDeleteI would probably try to do both at the same time, but maybe that's not the right way to go. I do think that you should get it out there again though.
Best of luck.
Thanks Debs :-)
ReplyDeleteMe, I'd go with the new until you get stuck, then return to ACH. I don't think you've given yourself enough distance on it yet to see it with rested eyes.
ReplyDeleteWith me, I KNOW there will come a time when I grind to a halt on the wip, so having something to return to is a comforting thought.
