So why am I torturing myself? Because I want my manuscript to shine like the Michael Jordan's bald head. I want to put the best possible manuscript I can send into the black hole that is called slush pile. And I don't want my editor/agent be moaning rookie mistakes. That's why I have a beta reader, crit partner, writing resource books, read book after book in my chosen genre and take class after class to hone my writing skills.
I sacrifice hours of sleep after working twelve or sixteen hour shifts in pursuit of writing perfection. Or close as I can get.
Later,
Melissa

I'm taking reading for writers and will take a grammar workshop in May. I agree with you, in everything, even the not sleeping bit.
Enjoy your root canal!
Thanks Megaly. Sounds like you're having your own root canal. It's been a long time since I've taken a grammer class.
I'm working on redesigning my blog, to give it a more professional look. I want to add all my writer friends as well.
