Certain individuals nagged me while I was home to work on my writing. It wasn't an easy thing to do, what with the medication, my mind being occupied with personal crisis, and feeling like utter ... well, you get the point.
After much love and prompting, I sat down and pounded away whatever popped into my head. Suddenly, I found myself with 10,000+ words and a fear that it was absolute garbage. So I shot a copy to my most trusted reviewer. This is the same reviewer who told me my hero was weak and I lacked conflict in my previous incarnation, so I cringed waiting to hear from her. (Still love you Mich and want to hear your brutal honest opinion.)
The first 10,000 words received the following reaction: I really like it. I read it in about 20 minutes. I like the beginning, where you don't know what is going on or who is the good guy and who is the bad one. I also like the sense of the supernatural, and that it is not stereo-typical supernatural. I don't really have any critiques at this time.
The next 5,000 words resulted in some criticisms, which lead to a phone call defending my work. I'm quite curious what will be said next. All I can do is keep trying. Thanks Mich for pushing me, reading my work, and listening to me.
