**sigh**
Maybe you read my post in "Agents", where I was so excited because agents were interested in my work?
Well, I figured I'd send my ms for a quick spin around my critique group, just to give it that little extra shine before whooshing my first three chapters off to Ms. and Mr. Important Agents.
How does this comment strike you, from someone who read only the first three chapters: "If I were you, I'd start your story off on chapter 3. If I picked this up at the library, I wouldn't be able to suffer through the beginning in order to get to the good stuff."
*SOB*
And I wanted to bring people joy, entertainment with my writing...not suffering. Grrr.
Now I don't know what to do. Do I make those changes? Do I just send it out anyway so that the agents can laugh in my face? Do I run screaming from the computer?
Come to think of it, my writing really does suck. *sigh*
