My Mother Calls.
She wants to give me moral support. I tell her I'm getting some questionable advice at my less-premium writer's group, but it's about an issue I don't really intend to fully address until I'm at the second-draft stage, anyway.

"Well, ask your good writer's group about it."
"It's okay. I'm not worried about it."
"You are too, or you wouldn't have brought it up. Go talk to your other group about it, and see if they think it's a problem. Maybe you should fix it now."

A wise woman once said "I don't give a shit if no one else likes it. I'm keeping myself amused. It's good stuff."
I'd follow her advice...

I just thought it was a bit ironic that I complained to her about bad, ineffective advice, and got--bad, ineffective advice.

I only did 12 drafts before my book was done and gone to the publisher.
Whew.
By that time, I was very tired of it.

Attila, remember what the word "editor" means. To edit. To take away. I have never met an editor who ADDED anything. Hmm. Maybe a better job description would be "takeaway artist".

Yeah. The term "first draft" is a bit of a joke, since most of the chapter drafts I have in the "complete" folder have been gone over half a dozen times.
And I'm sure there will be just as many revisions when it's finished.
Drop by after Halloween and tell me where to find your book; I'm sure I'll be sick of my own by then, and ready to take a break.
