Romance--Boy meets girl. Romantic Suspense--Boy meets girl with dead bodies.

Welcome to the men of Rough Seas. It will be interesting to see what editors think of the secondary characters in this work. There's no way there can be a story about crab fishing without including the rest of the crew.

In "Rough Seas", there are several places that needed a lot of work. Mostly at the end of the book, where the plot goes awry. So far, two authors have critiqued it. Both found it to get pondorous toward the end of the book. To fix this problem, requires rereading it all and finding where the trouble begins.

I don't know about you, but it makes me a little jaded about my writing.

So, for the next couple of days, I have to add, subtract and rewrite stuff, hoping that I don't end up with a patchwork quilt of garbage.

Can you tell I have a case of Isuckitis? Yup. No surprise.

Let's face it. If I could have my way, the story would flow from my fingertips to the computer screen in perfect form with only "slight" grammar problems. But that's not the way it happens for me.

The only thing I can do is keep at it. I have that self-imposed deadline of September 30th to be finished and polished for the Golden Heart. Only a few more days left folks. Send me good writing thoughts.

Can you guess the question of the day? That's right. What do you do when you get a wip back from your cp (or editor or whatever) and find major tweaks to do?
