I copy-and-paste them into a separate document (a new one for each day, e.g., "Cut ADVERSARY 12jun2010"). Keeping them "alive" this way makes revisions much easier. I feel like I haven't lost the scene. <br /><br />I hope you'll sound me out when you're ready for a beta reader. Take care!Disgruntled Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17975975276659730388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4925167395637847306.post-77590376824178759412010-06-14T23:25:39.287-04:002010-06-14T23:25:39.287-04:00LOL...I usually wait as long as possible to take s...LOL...I usually wait as long as possible to take stuff out and stick it in a separate file too, that way, it's never too far away from me and I can go "visit" any time I feel a need to...LOL...You can do it Emily!June Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08570382577796763370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4925167395637847306.post-61690126964527585122010-06-14T22:57:23.218-04:002010-06-14T22:57:23.218-04:00Congratulations! it's a huge step...

I have a couple scenes in my current WIP (which is in its infancy) that I know already need to come out and I can't stand to do it yet. You may just give me the courage. ;)Emily Hendrickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04157611573147977610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4925167395637847306.post-60754778564493559862010-06-14T21:20:28.788-04:002010-06-14T21:20:28.788-04:00Thanks for the good vibe and for stopping by Kate....Thanks for the good vibe and for stopping by Kate.

So often, I just want to read one of the books I bought for myself and are not related to reviews or anything else, but they're in a pile still waiting to come out of the bag...June Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08570382577796763370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4925167395637847306.post-47891244529153193282010-06-12T18:05:59.519-04:002010-06-12T18:05:59.519-04:00Thanks Marie.

If you want to be published, just go for it. So many people seem to be doing it. I'm amazed at how many people desire publication. You may as well throw your hat in the ring, but it is a lot of work, probably more than people first assume.June Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08570382577796763370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4925167395637847306.post-89387771824247075882010-06-12T17:27:03.586-04:002010-06-12T17:27:03.586-04:00Wow...all this and teaching/counseling/solving wor...Wow...all this and teaching/counseling/solving world problems, too...https://booksthoughtsadventures.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12270725992084535102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4925167395637847306.post-48172839099405094652010-06-12T17:02:25.601-04:002010-06-12T17:02:25.601-04:00Congrats!
