Unless I print the whole dang book out to read, I would be too tempted to fix things as I go.

You ask for dedicated readers because you can't post a whole novel in one week. Never done it though, so don't know how many you would get.<br /><br />Hang in there, it can't be all bad and soon you can start having fun with it again!Eileen Rhoadarmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05934680476041554606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8852474824982150984.post-25969307004859511932011-09-14T17:05:45.857-06:002011-09-14T17:05:45.857-06:00I don't understand your response, Charlie.

Every once in a while it's epic. There was a review not long ago for The Black God's War... an epic fantasy inspired by the Illiad. <br /><br />My copy of Blackdog is waiting for me to pick it up at B&N.

And the review won't go up for a couple weeks because my blog is scheduled a few weeks out and I have two reviews waiting in the wings already. (Since I found time to read for fun, I seem to be finishing books all the time!)<br /><br />Cholisose - Better to have an idea of the grand scheme of things before fiddling, or the changes you make might not be ideal in the big picture. Best to make notes and get an idea of what's going on in the book as a whole.Kristy Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04326229363389695119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8852474824982150984.post-12760765632784797352011-09-13T15:47:51.798-06:002011-09-13T15:47:51.798-06:00Because I've never re-read any of it.
