I worked so hard on my second manuscript to no avail when querying that I had a hard time with motivation. Also, I wanted more input, which I didn't have with my other manuscripts. It helps enormously and I highly recommend it. Good luck with your WIP.E. B.

And whatever works can vary according to where they are in their lives. When I had small children, I wrote early mornings. When I had teenagers, I wrote late at night. A group can help as long as the gap between submissions isn't too long. If it is, a critique partner loses the forward motion of the story.Pauline Alldredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00847008019331163905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-54288152410110327442010-11-22T09:38:10.063-05:002010-11-22T09:38:10.063-05:00I understand many writers have that goal and I wis...I understand many writers have that goal and I wish I could as well. But, I must concentrate and focus, and most days don't allow me that alone, quiet time in which I don't have competing demands. So, I must write in clumps and be very productive in intervals. Sometimes, this time interval works because you think about what you have written and where you should go. When you do get to the writing, it's more planned out then doing a little each day--but then, maybe that's just me.E. B.
