Not a lot written, but more great feedback

So I couldn't get into a writing mindset, despite my research and downtime - but that's OK. However, a friend of mine who is giving me feedback (clarity of storyline, character development, etc) is going back and reading it again.

She said, like my husband did, that she couldn't put it down. In fact, she finished it in 2 sessions!

Still have more to do, and still need some professional help, but this is certainly keeping the motivation going!

Good Sign

So I printed up my manuscript for my husband to read. He is a stickler for grammar, and is wonderful at catching the smallest error. In the process of writing this book I have gone from 3rd person present tense to 1st person past tense so I know there is a load of errors throughout.

Well, he got so caught up in the story that there are barely any edits! He also told me that he started having trouble putting it down (he can't lie to save his life - so this is most likely true).

Now I know my grammar isn't ideal and I know he is quite biased - so I am choosing to interpret this as just a good sign that I am on the right track

I am also making a mental note that I need to try a crit group again or a hire a professional editor.
