Remember awhile back that I posted about getting off the merry-go-round? I'm sure you all know the one I'm talking about. The one where you feel you're ready for some feedback on your story, get excellent advice, do a rewrite, and then ask for another crit... over and over again? Yeah, that one.

Well, I just had to get one more crit, a very special one. About a year or so ago, I discovered that the company I work for has a publishing house right in the building I've worked for for over 30 years. I guess I'm a little slow on the uptake sometimes. LOL I've made friends with one of the aquisitions editors. York evaluated the first three chapters of a book I wrote. This was before I found Hatrack and began expanding my writing education. He said, yes, I could write and to go for it.

Then I started work on my novella with hopes of submitting it to the WOTF. He critted my final draft and offered some advice. So I'm now in the process of making one more draft. After I finish this one, no more crits. I'm going to submit it. This might not sound like much to some folks, but it's a major milestone for me regardless of what happens once it's sent.

I hope you don't mind me posting this, but I just had to share. After all, many of you right here on Hatrack has made it all possible.
