I was ac...I think you have a very valid point Sue.<br /><br />I was actually thinking about this too yesterday after I had submitted some of my earlier writing and found that they still score reasonable well. <br /><br />I guess even if your writing is lean and mean it's no guarantee that you write well or have a good story.<br /><br />It was fun anyway.Penhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06605428306080473273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-249710551309130233.post-43986427891043464082010-03-05T13:01:55.844+13:002010-03-05T13:01:55.844+13:00Yes, I put in pieces from my very first chapters -...Yes, I put in pieces from my very first chapters - the stuff I've ditched and it scored lean all the way. I think that this is only half the story when it comes to writing. There must be other factors, coz some of my early stuff is baaaaad.!! <br />Can't we both be 'lean mean fighting machines'?Sue McMillannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-249710551309130233.post-69789520785824382892010-03-04T23:42:03.888+13:002010-03-04T23:42:03.888+13:00I couldn't believe it.

I swear my jaw dropped especially because I thought it was so overwritten in comparison to what I'm writing now.<br /><br />Sue! You stole my line.

The piece I am working on came up with work needed on prepositions, which really made me think. This is the short story I was paring back and making it really spare. Have to hit the prepositions now.Sue McMillannoreply@blogger.com
