I suppose it depends on what is being asked of me - I mean if I was being requested to do something I really felt uncomfortable about I dont know how I would feel. It would depend on how I feel at the time. I can appreciate not wanting to make radical changes if youve slaved for ages and feel what you've produed is the way the story should be but on the other hand if the cricism is contructive and sheds a new light on another angle which is interesting or leads to improvement it would perhaps be easier to contemplate. I am not sure about a whole re write though. Surely that says something else.<br />Bren GoslingBren Goslinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07025950590534105910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8637620867886353633.post-59317899778590379902011-03-13T04:04:07.918-07:002011-03-13T04:04:07.918-07:00Had a really interesting session with Emily yester...Had a really interesting session with Emily yesterday.<br /><br />Most interesting was a discussion we had about one of our number who's finished his novel and had lots of feedback from agents and others and he's now mulling over taking it in a different direction now he's completed a rewrite. On the other hand, last time we discussed someone else whose novel was completed and she's of the mind that she's not going to touch it again. If agents like it then fine but, if not, she'll take up other projects.<br /><br />Have you thought about what you might do in when you've finished? Would you undertake a big rewrite based on agent feedback or your own reflections?<br /><br />It was very useful to get feedback on what I workshopped as I realised I needed to go back and revisit other things much earlier in the novel.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07565774246519564335noreply@blogger.com
