“Writers will give you writer feedback. How they would have written it. Readers give you reader feedback, how they experienced reading your book.”
“Try to get better writers than you to beta your novel.”
“Careful with how much redrafting you do, you could be washing out the good stuff.”
How much editing to do? One author says “The story stays but the words change as I pump things up.” Another says “90% of my words stay but I am a slow perfectionist writer.”

Absolutely. Many days still to go…I’ve been really enjoying your month of “travel.” It’s awesome to hear your descriptions of the myriad of places you have been.

NaNoWriMo is one of my favorite things. My first published novel was a NaNo novel 🙂 These are good tips. The author knows what she meant to write, not necessarily what ended up on the page. Good feedback tells you what you actually wrote so you can go back in and fill in the holes.

I read my works out loud to my long suffering hubby and I am always amazed by the words I manage to have left out while writing. LOL
