Dawnbringer
is back from my initial readers, with lots of praise and a few pointers for
correction. Overall I’m happy with the responses I’m getting, and I’m still
eagerly anticipating the comments from a few last readers.
In
the meantime, with NaNoWriMo having come to an end, I will be returning to the
editing process. I’m still holding my feet to the fire and writing one thousand
words per day, but my primary focus is shifting back to revision. By the end of
the year I plan to have a draft that is ready to be submitted to a few lucky
agents!
I’ve
always been nervous about sharing my work with others, and I didn’t expect
nearly so positive of a response. With that said, the book did seem to speak to
my readers, and I wanted that more than anything else. If the story doesn’t
evoke an emotional journey for my reader, then I feel as if I’ve failed
somewhere in the creative process.
A
few more weeks, and I’ll take the next intrepid step on this crazy journey!
