It seems to have made it onto the comment list on FTQ for just a short time and then disappeared. I don't understand why. I thought it was a worthwhile and unoffensive comment. So I thought I would post it again here.

That being said, I have learned more from the floggings (mine and others) and Ray's book about the mechanics of fiction writing than I would have dreamed a year ago.

He's very self-controlled, doesn't show emotion, which makes him really tough to write. I'll think about how to *tactfully* add more emotion.

That's a HUGE step in the right direction.<br /><br />I do not know how to encourage you enough to make this step - but PLEASE find a RL writing group. I know your time is filled with family & work - but the two groups I've been in have been SO helpful.<br /><br />Also?
