I learned a great deal from the process because you took such care with each entry. In fact, reading everyone's comments on all the entries was like taking a full year course in fiction writing.

I learned so much from this...not only that my opening scene rots (LOL!) but about *looking* at opening scenes differently. I know what comes next, and I know where it immediately jumps into. The reader doesn't, they have no idea that it is two paragraphs later! :) They are just confused. I am all into revamping this now...this exercise has been an eye opener!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-17308580719410506742009-10-19T13:03:33.043-04:002009-10-19T13:03:33.043-04:00Thanks Rachelle!
