Since I tweaked the first page and added the new prologue, I went back to my 16-year-old beta readers for an opinion on which was the strongest opening, the prologue or the 1st chapter. Even split. Do I give my daughter the tie-breaker? Or do I wait for the friends of friends to chime in? :DMartina Boonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03358736828122139189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005062827798430682.post-32247381056875239052010-05-23T11:49:50.623-04:002010-05-23T11:49:50.623-04:00Ann Marie and Marissa, can you see how red my face...Ann Marie and Marissa, can you see how red my face is right now? You are both crazy and I love you. I swear to God if I ever get the first 250 of this manuscript right, I will have a seizure from sheer happiness. Once I get going, it's fine. It's that darn 250! I feel a blog post coming on about dealing with difficult beginnings. Hmmh. Going to have to start researching. This will definitely be a learning, eye-opening experience.<br /><br />Thanks, everyone, for being so kind! It's so nice to see comments on posts. It makes me want to go out and do more for you all!<br /><br />MartinaMartina Boonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03358736828122139189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005062827798430682.post-42012342811595162452010-05-23T08:50:15.138-04:002010-05-23T08:50:15.138-04:00Lisa and Lauren, we're happy to compile it all...Lisa and Lauren, we're happy to compile it all for you!<br /><br />Ann Marie, tell your husband we love keeping you busy :) Stay after Martina.
