My second was such an imrpovement from my first, and even though I have polished my 2nd to be query-ready, I still see improvements in my third. That is a great thing! It means we are learning and growing. I'm so glad you are excited about your third WIP. Best of luck =)Caitlin Lamberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07306441132984296633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093187878739089807.post-33906684355660484372017-05-18T08:39:48.796-07:002017-05-18T08:39:48.796-07:00Thank you, Amy!

I just don't know if it will EVER be ready for publication. It's kinda a mess. But at the same time, I AGREE 100%. It wasn't a waste- I learned SO DARNED MUCH FROM IT. And it was really inspiring to me because I just started writing my third novel this month, and I've been editing my second novel, and I can /see/ how much I've learned. I can look at my first novel and say "It was messy, but I learned a lot." I can look at my second novel and say "Okay, needs some work, but it's actually... good?" And I can look at my newest novel and compare it to my last two, even though I've only written the first 2 chapters. AND WOW. Everything I've learned from /just writing/ 2 other novels is coming to the surface and shining through, and it's really encouraging to me. :D <br /><br />BUT YES ANYWAYS. Fantastic post, and thanks so much for sharing!Jonathan Trouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12740204179397653331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093187878739089807.post-78535410193192997952017-05-17T11:23:26.922-07:002017-05-17T11:23:26.922-07:00This is such a wonderful post, and as a young Chri...This is such a wonderful post, and as a young Christian writer myself, I found this so encouraging and inspiring.
