hi Doc,
I met 3 great people at the Author event. We became instant friends and we are already keeping in touch through Facebook and Whatsapp.
H. is a 25-year-old who just gave me a very thorough critique of my book. I am taking it in stride. He pointed out all the weak points about plot, character and dialogue.
I am very grateful for such feedback as I can grow.
He mentioned a good thing or 2 about the dialogue. But mostly the dialogue is bad. And there are a lot of holes that need to be filled. In my own defense, I said it is just an intro and was merely skimming the surface. But to him, it is not acceptable. So I am rewriting the whole thing. Make it detailed but still fulfill the 7500 to 8000 word limit.
I’m going to write in detail and omit the important parts. Don’t summarize. Make it into something more short story like.
Work on ShortBoook begins tomorrow. I am going back to the drawing board.
Wish me luck.
Thanks Doc
