I'm glad that's something you're planning to address, because I can imagine it would be jarring! If it weren't for how much I've heard people hating on prologues, I'd wonder whether you could do a prologue in Sam's POV. Maybe a first chapter . . . ?Anica Lewishttp://www.anicalewis.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4665052536053897386.post-63535683297195995992009-09-29T07:35:24.005+07:002009-09-29T07:35:24.005+07:00Well, Natalie, like I said, it kind of wandered fr...Well, Natalie, like I said, it kind of wandered from that. It doesn't seem to be going back either :-/ I think it's more 'Sam's search to do the right thing (like his father)' or something.<br /><br />Hilary, I've been wondering how your editing was going. At least it's just a single opinion, right? And professional at that. I've got 5-6 different opinions ranging from near-pro to layman. It's... complicated.<br /><br />On the other hand, I guess we both got what we paid for, aye?Adam Heinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02225813532455467868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4665052536053897386.post-40159517486683081372009-09-29T03:57:40.816+07:002009-09-29T03:57:40.816+07:00I'm in the same boat.

Not for a long time at least. If that would have been more prominent, I think that might have helped a lot.Natalie Whipplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09978251567306345129noreply@blogger.com
