Knowing and Learning

Mon Dieu. My mind is buzzing. To start with, I recently got the first three chapters of my ... THING back. I'd given it to someone I know who has had some luck with getting her own stuff published. Reading her comments was enlightening to say the least. There wasn't anything horribly upsetting, and it's going to be helpful. I have to say I'm rather proud of myself for only saying, "What! Is she on crack!" once. *grins*

But there was one thing she pointed out that I had never even thought of or ever knew. It was a little bit of a reality check because that forced me to realize I know absolutely nothing about writing a book. Since I'm more than a touch arrogant, and I tend to be considered the knowledgeable one among my friends, that brought me back to Earth. *grins* Always a good thing.

But, I like to plough ahead so I'll probably ignore the fact that I have a limited, and admittedly, classical training, and continue on my merry way.

For the eagle-eyed who noticed I said "first," let me assure you there is more to this tale .... but that's a story for tomorrow. I wouldn't want to overwhelm you with babbling after the long drought of me being buried under the sands of reality.
