Whe...Thanks for giving me something to think about. When I first started getting critiqued, I changed everything my critters suggested even if I didn't really agree, but I've since learned to take what feels right to me and leave the rest. Still a fine line, though, and I hope I don't cross it too much!Jenn Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10443688970619269216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021334748633952462.post-9821259294723004252010-09-27T18:19:21.633-07:002010-09-27T18:19:21.633-07:00I agree.

And sometimes, after months and months of changing things again and again, I personally, start to forget who I am, what my voice looks like, etc . . .<br /><br />Something I need to work on.

Everyone will have a perspective on your story, but in the end, what matters is what you choose to do with the thoughts your given to make YOUR story better.Windy Aphayrathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10274305159511812518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021334748633952462.post-38404156039222841212010-09-27T07:42:51.116-07:002010-09-27T07:42:51.116-07:00Interesting point.

Don't change things just because someone said so, if you really feel like it's wrong. Not HARD but Wrong. There is a difference.Sara B.
