At some point you just have to take a big deep breath, stop picking at it, and say, "Okay, it's good enough." Because "good enough" to us is often nearly brilliant to others. I've had things published that I've read after the fact and wanted to kick myself because I missed something. I hate that feeling, but I learn from it and move on.<br /><br />I have this problem more on the front end. I have trouble writing stories sometimes because I'll think of an idea and decide it's not good enough. I'm still trying to figure out how to let a story play out on paper instead of over analyzing it and making it work in my head first. I have a story I'm playing with right now that I can't seem to get started on because all the pieces aren't fitting together in my head. I know the best way to fix that is to just write, but sometimes it's hard to move past that. And I already have this one outlined - it's the minor pieces I can't seem to maneuver.<br /><br />Back to the original point - get yourself a great critique buddy or two or a few. I know you have a brilliant critique buddy, Cece (LOL! Not really - I'm one of Cece's critique buddies). Seriously, critique buddies are the best for helping us not only fix our errors, but helping us see the beauty in what we have written and helping us know when it's ready.<br /><br />Shauna - I don't know if you are part of a writers' group, but they can be invaluable if you join the right group. Make sure they have a strong emphasis in critique and education. These are great places to find critique partners.Living Writer's Collectivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04952740601795917933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1927026856553536761.post-71084623532484723032011-04-27T13:34:00.977-05:002011-04-27T13:34:00.977-05:00Well written, Karen.

I think she saw her sparkly vampire guy at the mall, so that was what we were getting to, but why am I reading about all the details in between?<br /><br />But then, I once had a contest judge tell me I had too many short scenes and I needed to keep it to one change of POV per chapter, so that stuck in my head. Never mind that TONS of other authors have scene changes (you know, the spots in our chapters that we separate with a space or ***) at least three or four times a chapter, especially in Young Adult books. Maybe that was a sign I should be writing for younger readers...but I've seen romance novelists do it too. In fact, the book I'm reading now is a romance novel and she has one scene shift in chapter one, just 3 pages in, and TWO scene changes in chapter three.Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1927026856553536761.post-72735752790946582952009-12-05T11:52:35.845-06:002009-12-05T11:52:35.845-06:00The article, your pictures, and the first place st...The article, your pictures, and the first place stories have all been sent.
