I'm woefully behind, and I think at this point it might mean a complete re-read. Talk about time-consuming! From the sounds of it, you're making awesome headway in your writing.

I've read a couple books lately that have made me feel that way too. I love to read a book that sweeps me away with amazing story telling, but at the same time, it reminds me of how much I have to learn as a writer. Nice work on finishing your latest edit, and I'm glad things are going well with your other writing projects!Erin L.
