You know what people say about excuses.......and no one likes to hear them. The honest truth is among the preceding list, so you can take your choice and you may be right.
But now it is time to throw the excuses out the window, while it is still warm enough to open it, and finish all of the re-writes.
My critiques have been hard on me, which is a good thing. Criticism makes for a better book. As the author, it is sometimes hard to rethink what is already on paper and find a way to say it better. I am doing my best to correct what needs to be improved and I am sure the end product will be worth it. Bear with me as a struggle through this stage of the process.
