Plus I feel like I can circle a part and draw an arrow to another part and things like that so much better. There's something about physically being able to touch the words that just can be replaced!<br /><br />And best of luck with finding your perfect fit in an agent! I hope it goes quickly. :DPeggy Eddlemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10241451940725996650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2502176161456143914.post-11940839486492090972012-01-14T17:57:20.379-05:002012-01-14T17:57:20.379-05:00Exciting stuff - keep at it and best of luck with ...Exciting stuff - keep at it and best of luck with the queries!<br />LxLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03604785269958873474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2502176161456143914.post-26633747347849135782012-01-14T11:06:51.583-05:002012-01-14T11:06:51.583-05:00Editing too.

I was about to put the final coat of polish on my novel, but now am holding it back a week while I write a scene in the prequel that impacts it. Might as well wait, or I'll have to go back and change those details later.<br /><br />I meet with a potential editor today.M Paxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14096697282530998519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2502176161456143914.post-30813062360702943842012-01-13T16:21:30.713-05:002012-01-13T16:21:30.713-05:00Congrats Tara!

I'm super impressed with how far you've come and wish you the best of luck with your novel.<br /><br />With a paper copy, I read my work out loud to my honey and mark as I go.

I did not. That's the disadvantage of working from home (which I was yesterday). You don't get a snow day unless you lose power or, you know, snow makes the roof cave in. <br /><br />I edit on paper copies too. And that just so happens to be where I'm at with my road to publishing.<br /><br />Good luck with everything...M.J.
