I think you should take a break between it and starting your next set of revisions...let it perculate in the back of your mind...At least that's what I hear is a good plan. :)<br /><br />I had blogger issues too for a few weeks until I unchecked that box. I also changed my commetn box to a pop up box and that seemed to help.Sharon K.

Some of the best advice I ever got was from a friend who read my ms before the final edit, and was straight honest with me about what he thought was good and bad about it. He even pointed out a major time line flaw that I didn't see. My "beta readers" have been a saving grace.B.T.

What a relief that must be. <br /><br />Writer's block stinks. I discovered it usually hits when I'm not sure where to go next. I wrote an outline before taking on the second draft of my W.I.P and for the most part, have stuck to it. <br /><br />Best of luck with the third revision. Like others here have said, you may consider letting the second draft marinade in a drawer for a week or two before getting into editing mode. A fresh set of eyes makes a world of difference. If you need a beta reader let me know. I'm always looking for crit partners.Andrea Franco-Cookhttp://www.aspiringnovelists.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7079424739175991097.post-31832432772829320842011-05-31T16:57:08.259-07:002011-05-31T16:57:08.259-07:00Oh, can I add your blog link to my blogs?

Rip it to shreds first.<br /><br />THEN go back to your novel.<br /><br />BTW, I sure hope to see your draft soon!

If you've just gone through it, you might find it in short supply. <br /><br />Take a couple of weeks. Let the story sift and shift in your mind, simmer in the subconscious and come back with fresher eyes. You'll be surprised at how much you discover that way (and how much more pleasant it is).Stephanie Barrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17772217449161603561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7079424739175991097.post-69700285837158781072011-05-27T16:45:02.008-07:002011-05-27T16:45:02.008-07:00Hope they fix your issues.
