Hopefully, I will be as lucky as you and find an editor who gets my writing, even if it needs a little tweaking.<br />Kris F.

If you're ever interested, I can point you to a great YouTube how to. <br /><br />And I'm so glad I'm not the only writer who feels that way about projects. But I love your take- "humble and genuine"- that is a fantastic way to look at it.<br /><br />Hope your week is sunny and bright! :)Kris F.

I had no idea the woods and wilds would be so amazing. Goes to show what happens when I make snap judgments about things. <br /><br />Hope your week is brilliant!Kris F.

A lovely kind editor who *likes* my manuscript, and I'm still cringing at some of the things in the version she initially read. Yikes. <br />At least I get a chance to fix it!

If only everyone noticed tiny details like that and did something about them. Not that I would know how to fix a butterfly wing, but still. I had no idea monarch populations were struggling so much (although I pretty much assume that everything is endangered these days). That's awful.<br /><br />As for improving and then feeling embarrassed about what you've written before, you're definitely not the only one. I'm not sure I'll ever write anything that I won't want to up and rewrite again at some point. And I doubt I'll ever feel wholly confident about any of my writing projects. Maybe that will keep us humble and genuine when we write? And maybe that's a good thing? Not sure, but you're right, metamorphosis is painful.<br /><br />Have a lovely week, Kris! :)Erin L.

Best of luck finishing up those revisions, Kris, and no, you definitely are not alone in feeling torn about your writerly growth and past projects. :-) Katy Uppermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07725740174190514869noreply@blogger.com
