Well...I opened the box and I didn't cry. That's an improvement, I'm getting stronger lol
The critiquer made a lot of really good points. Mostly I agree with everything that was said. I found myself nodding my head going "absolutely".
The one thing she didn't like was my title, but I love my title and most people have made a point of saying they like it too. So it's not changing unless I get a way better argument.
She ( I think it was a gal from the handwriting), said my basic format is good and that my story is engaging. She thought my main character is intriguing and she'd never seen one quite like her, that really makes me want to continue with this story. I'm invested.
There are a lot of changes to make to make it a stronger story. I felt like I was floundering with my revisions, going over and over it. Now I feel like I have a clear path to get this mostly right : ) and build stronger characters and a tight plot.
This was exactly what I needed. Money well spent, especially since I'm really considering going the self-publishing route but we will see what happens.
