I can tell what parts I wrote on that night because most of it was my best work (and also all the parts where I go "When did I write this? Did -I- write this?") <br /><br />I know how you feel about cutting, though. I always made the excuse, "I don't need to cut so much, I'm writing this for me, not to publish" so it's been a bit of a blow realizing that yes, I have to start over quite a bit. It's always for the best though, I've never had a bad experience from cutting or editing.Teahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16614942172984498345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-71082879654349802.post-4838587902588885172011-05-28T20:35:49.562-04:002011-05-28T20:35:49.562-04:00I remember when I was doing my first novel the fir...I remember when I was doing my first novel the first time (the computer it was on crashed and I had to write the whole book over), I wrote about eight pages at one go, a combat sequence between the hero and a hideous monster.

What about "Tattoo Two" for the next one (of course, I don't know what they are really about.... just throwing out an idea).<br /><br />On the pitch, I worked on mine at the Backspace Writer's Conference in New York City last May and it really helped me figure out the right tone.

I know from reading your pitch and such that they are what dictates the character's social position or whatnot, so i don't think it's a bad idea, but if it's going to be a series you need an over all title..Something about the power struggle? About what she is? The The Essence Heart Chronicles?
