The alphabet is a journey of 26 letters...
Each letter begins a new story.
Today it's E's turn. So there I was with a completed manuscript….
An agent had loved the story….
But gave it/me a harsh critique.
Now what do I do?
I knew no other writers to give me feedback…
I had books on writing, but it’s hard talking to a book.
I did have a subscription to Writer’s Digest, though.
I read several issues…
Still clueless.
And then as I was skimming the back of one…
EUREKA! Editorial services!
Yeah, but which one?
So I prayed, and one woman’s name stood out…
Her name was Alice, from Chicago…
She offered a critique of the first 25 pages…
For a great price.
So I sent it. And within a week, she sent it back.
Basically she said the same thing as the agent had…
Just not harsh. She actually was encouraging…
So I sent the whole manuscript…
And when I got it back…
Ah, ah ah….
That’s tomorrow’s “F” story.
Always, Em-Musing
