Shame on me filling it with trifles.<br /><br />So, Erynn. What a great example--my middle school son was impressed! ;-) I struggled with the "had" in the last line until about the 4th time. My mind thought it should be "has" simply because I would assume it STILL lives in family lore, present day. But as thought I see it working, versus telling someone aloud. So it makes sense. I think.<br /><br />As for my editing process...that's something I'm still figuring out. And since I've been learning so much this year, I don't know how it will really go. I stopped doing NaNo because I was unable to just plop it on paper and resolve it later. Not sure if that's a good or bad sign. LOL. I have some great crit partners now that I send my work to--I trust them with it and I love their feedback. I don't think I'm good enough yet to not need more than one round of revisions, but I can really see my progress and that feels great!!~cjoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10435581940217387304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839097860063281306.post-30113471193489792452013-11-25T17:14:02.436-08:002013-11-25T17:14:02.436-08:00Your sounds like mine, Erynn!

Not a whole lot of time for complete editing there. :) But I'm also like you - I try to write it correctly the first time around. I guess my editing style would mainly be fixing typos and slightly revising sentences; nothing drastic.<br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving!Alicia Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11850670601744580160noreply@blogger.com
