I felt I was going off on a tangent and was gonna waste precious time, of which I have little.<br><br>Generally when writing though, I don't do any major editing until the end.

I have been good and haven't edited anything, but still. Yikes!<br><br>The Neo is really helping me with my urge to edit.

It's had mixed feedback in contests but I do so love the hero and heroine. Think it needs a lot of work to be shaped into an actual M&B line and it's too short to find a home elsewhere, but I hope to get back to it one day!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
