Hey out there, hello!
I only started writing after decades of voracious reading in several genres. Seems a really bad example of character/plot believability annoyed me enough that I had to write a different ending... which snowballed into three novel length fanfics posted and another twenty things from parody to farce.
But my last NaNo was an original work, which I think is a solid world and plot. Unfortunately, revising for publication is much more daunting than the more loose standards for fanfic. Nor can I afford those classes or review services, so I've been trawling ever since NaNo looking for some combination of advice and second opinion to do this. (and I have read the Newbie thing waiting for my approval)
I have managed to revise my first chapter to my satisfaction, but for 5 months progress that's discouraging. (I'm still writing other things so my muse if fine, what do you call the revision persona?)
