I switched it back when I got picked up for publication. I've left the label in case people who used to follow the blog or knew the book as that name could find it. :) <br /><br />Such a disappointing answer, eh?Heidi Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18420802651029097379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313130055534395503.post-71384901861658022552010-08-24T16:54:30.193-04:002010-08-24T16:54:30.193-04:00I can't relate because my manuscript is perfec...I can't relate because my manuscript is perfect so far and will always be perfect. Sorry. <br /><br />But really, critique partners are GREAT. I am doing some major changes to the beginning of my book, and I'm not even done yet. Maybe that's a little out of order...<br /><br />Anyway, I wanted to ask why you always have Some Kind of Normal paired with Mockingbird. I haven't read TKAM in a long time, so maybe there are likenesses? I want to know.Jessie Oliveroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06232456334069794107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313130055534395503.post-65303351024219670892010-08-19T15:51:35.201-04:002010-08-19T15:51:35.201-04:00I just did a MAJOR re write on my first MS.

Once I started, the same thing happened, I fell in love with the story all over again.Jolene Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04630744737142051232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313130055534395503.post-23638022696273793322010-08-19T08:59:23.244-04:002010-08-19T08:59:23.244-04:00I so relate!I so relate!Caroline Starr Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04597510685273079757noreply@blogger.com
