If I set aside a work for a month, I'll read it again and shudder. I think about that with BAD BOYS AHOY! It won't be out until this time next year. I think I'll have to promise myself not to read it. :lol: A month sometimes is all it takes. If I set aside a work for a month, I’ll read it again and shudder. I think about that with BAD BOYS AHOY!

I have REFUSED to open the ms that I sent in a full request back in September, because I know I'll cringe at all the horrible mistakes I simply didn't know about back then. Yeah, that was only a few months ago, but I've learned a lot since! (still waiting.....) I'm horrible at using graphic wording. While I can read it no problem, I just can't write it for some odd reason. I can't stand purple prose, though, so I guess I just need to find a happy medium somewhere. Your excerpt made me want to read more, and obviously a bunch of others, too! Good luck with it!!! Sylvia, I know what you mean.

It's much better now. LOL I read through it just a moment ago and cringed. It's amazing how much we learn about the craft of writing as we go. (It also makes me blush. :oops: When I sent it my agent, I died!! Knowing he was reading all the graphic wording and sex about killed me.)
