That's probably true, and sound advice!

Took yesterday and today off, but I'm starting to revise another book tomorrow. Back to the salt mine...

Your process sounds similar to mine. I also like to have a working synopsis for every novel. I start with the blurb, then flesh out to get all the major turning points, then do the larger synopsis.

It really can. When you're new, you haven't yet learned how to tell good advice from bad, and what advice will work for you. You'll get there, though! It just takes practice.

Very lucky 🙂 I'd be lost without my crit partners. If you're still lost, or need some extra help, my blog has a ton of information. (And my book on revising, of course -grin-)
