If you're passionate enough to keep on rewriting it until it's "ready" then it's good enough to be told.Ernessa T.

I'd gotten a little discouraged after I decided both needed substantial rewrites. Now I'm realizing that the only thing that matters is that I make both stories the best they can possibly be so they'll be ready for primetime.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04725861613758519492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-68766105541487050452012-06-22T15:44:23.237-04:002012-06-22T15:44:23.237-04:00This is wonderful, Ernessa!

And again, a completely different take on the trunk novel--when I got to the Emily Dickinson part, I had this vision of you scavenging through her trunk, filled with period clothes, (not poems,idk why) and saying, "If I just rework this seam, it would be a perfect fit..." In the long meantime, I admire your ambition for your personal trunk!Laura Spinellahttp://www.lauraspinella.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-928156998937803322012-06-22T08:14:53.299-04:002012-06-22T08:14:53.299-04:00What a funny post!
