I joined the Local Los Angeles (Westside) SCBWI meeting tonight at the library in Santa Monica. Can I just say they are the best group of observers I've ever sat with in critique! It was so awesome hearing their comments. A few people gave me some useful suggestions for improving the beginning of my novel.
I know, I know. I'm not supposed to start editing until 2008 but we all had to bring a first page of something we'd written recently. I didn't want to bring the short story I finished because I was more curious about the opening of my novel. It felt good to have some of my questions answers and doubts confirmed. I will be in a much better position when I start revising next year.
Now, I must sleep.
