Love the way you highlight the team effort this involves, along with the need to allow others with different perspectives and skills to speak into our work. Some great advice.

That's a good way of looking at it as a collaboration. I'm enrolled in an online editing course at the moment with the Queensland Writers' Centre and as part of that, we each take it in turns to submit the first 15 pages of our novels for critique by the tutor and fellow students. I've just had my turn and it was amazing how much feedback I got just for that chunk. Lots of good points to think about. It makes my mind boggle to think how much that would be multiplied over the course of a whole novel, so good on you for rising to the challenge. I hope the book does really well.Nola Passmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08425394685430146759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-77705888749757435902015-12-14T09:59:24.571+10:002015-12-14T09:59:24.571+10:00Such an interesting journey, Debbie.
