Some of us are a bit further down the mountain, can you throw us a rope???

Hope they finally get round to posting the chapter soon Jackie :-)

Actually Lucy, I did think about posting it here, but thought they probably would get a bit snitty. And then it felt like it would be tooting my own horn a bit much. Oh well, I'll see what happens if Anna gets back to me about it.

Everest is a great analogy. Except the risk of death is smaller. ;-)

Can you post it here? Or will they get snitty? This learning curve is like Everest, isn’t it?!

Oh, thanks Suzanne! I did think it was okay at the time but when I got the editorial comments it was like “Doh! Why didn’t I see that?”

All well, they’ll only put a few of the editorial comments on the site I’m thinking but I’m happy to share more with anyone who wants to know – it’s applicable to any aspiring writer, not just me.

Oh Jackie, waiting is horrid.

And there are definitely more than 5 waiting for your chapter to be posted.

You've obviously been on a pretty steep learning curve these last few months - but don't you dare be embarrassed. That chapter won you a placing - be very proud of it.

We'll all be looking for the good points that the editors picked up on and hoping to copy what you did right.
