So then, naturally, I looked for posts tagged "Cat." And, to my deep dismay and horror, I discover you HAVE NONE! How can that be?

In return, I offered to critique her work. This was much more useful than having everyone hear a few pages a week over 17 months. After all, how can you track plotting issues at that pace? <BR/><BR/>The way I dealt with the manuscript was to make a big document containing all the chapters, format it in a smaller font with smaller margins, and print it double-sided. I then took it to Lazerquick to have them coil bind it. This took my 350 page manuscript down to about 175 pages (which was less than 90 sheets of paper) and made it much more user-friendly than a box full of unbound pages. You might try that technique and see if you can get some feedback. It worked for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
