You mentioned walking the fine line between expanding and adding depth without overwhelming and burying the actual story line. Any advice on how to tell that line has been crossed?

I go through about a hundred drafts before a story is ready to go to the publisher. Then another hundred after that. ;-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01433820284181839320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1215609555228929464.post-8896567920269645892013-11-04T09:35:27.859-05:002013-11-04T09:35:27.859-05:00So great to be here today!
