But I almost always agree with what they have to say, so it's totally worth it. Sending your book out for reviews, however... ugh!

It may also be because I never seem to be able to know when enough is enough!Jennifer Wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04371615120941751151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5368086581930882684.post-56288661988243835572013-04-07T02:01:22.992-04:002013-04-07T02:01:22.992-04:00I am typically an edit as I go kind of girl, more ...I am typically an edit as I go kind of girl, more because I just can't help myself.

However, with JeRoWriMo in Februrary, I finished the manuscript in one fell swoop--30,000 words in a month, but then I still have editing to do. Either way, it's the polishing that seems to take the most time.Penelope Marzechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17563853832717077875noreply@blogger.com
