I sent my YA Fantasy MS to my grandmother for some grammar help. She used to work for Time Warner when it was a newspaper. She also used to send back my e-mails with a spell & grammar check. I was a bit fearful of what she would say, but she surprised me, see below.
"Okay, so I started to read and edit at the same time. Then I got so hooked on the plot line I decided to just read it--no editing. Do you have any idea how hard that is for me???? Anyway, just finished it, and loved it. It does need polishing, maybe a lot of polishing. But the story's great. Really great."
I know no one else probably cares, but if my fancy grandma (who I'm not even allowed to call grandma) loved it, well I feel pretty darn good. ESPECIALLY, since Nathan Bransford recently posted on his blog the that he wants to see plot, plot, plot.
