I attended Tokyo Writers Workshop and got valuable feedback on the first chapter of Neyuki. It was also fascinating to see the submissions through others’ eyes. I must up my game and provide better critiques to be a contributing member of the group.
I am both pleased and disturbed by how little of Neyuki’s content I sacrificed in whittling down the word count so significantly. It implies my original writing was wordy and repetitive.
Don’t spend $30/month for AutoCrit. Spend $1 instead and try it out. It will make you all the more thankful that there are talented human beings who are actually willing to edit another person’s work.
I finished NaNoWriMo in only fifteen days, but the 50,000 words that came out feel like pieces of three different novels. I have a lot of work left to do.
