My first ...Thanks for the great suggestions, Tere. My first drafts are typically plot driven, and then I go back in the second and third iterations and add the emotion. Funny how I'm not thinking about what my heroine feels the first time around.

But silence I must because it's just not worth polishing a rough draft when you may end up cutting scenes. It's really hard to cut pretty sentences.Sharon Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04217273228819776912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489897886242202418.post-15641474196565957622012-08-09T10:30:06.850-07:002012-08-09T10:30:06.850-07:00Thanks, Kay!
