It's interesting how a project needs to still percolate even when I think it's close to being done.

Hi Virginia,
Yikes! I hate it when the formatting gremlins are loose. I also went on vacation to visit family and things fell apart a little.

Thank you that you enjoy the topic - I hope you have a chance to read it soon. I'll check back for comments later.

Wishing you well with your writing!

Ooooh, Denise, that sounds terrible. I realize editors have a lot on their plate, but it must be tough (and important) to keep the manuscripts straight.

It once happened to me when I submitted a story to a contest. One had feedback with the suggestion about making a stronger connection between Paul and George, for example, and there were no characters by that name.
I just chalked it up as lousy feedback and focused on the good stuff others provided.

Thanks for the comment, Denise.

HI Cygnet,
Working on two projects may be just enough to keep it fresh and interesting. It sounds like you have your writing in a good pattern. The novel writing is a more creative task (at least I find it takes more of my energy than nonfiction) and it usually takes me a longer time to writer creatively as well.

Best of luck on your projects!

As far as being problematic, I've had problems with editors obviously doing multiple projects. Editor putting wrong character names in the tracking, mentioning something not in the story, etc...

All fixed. Thanks, Lisa!
