I belong to a good writer's group, and I write each critiquer's comments on my hard copy in different colors of ink. When my drafts get less colorful, I know the work is improving. :-)Elizabeth Varadan, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708206753256682635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2789848305671189900.post-5828647470676903332011-08-23T12:56:54.713-07:002011-08-23T12:56:54.713-07:00I think you're right!

I don't want it to die on me, but I too would get something/more written without it. Hooray for you. It sounds like doing word count helped you. We do whatever works. You're getting closer to October and THE END. Hooray, and keep going!!!<br /><a href="http://anncarbinebest.com/" rel="nofollow"><i>Ann Best, Author of In the Mirror, A Memoir of Shattered Secrets</i></a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
