Finishing the 4th & 5th Drafts of Critical Balance | LOL 065

<p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">I’ve finished the 4th <strong>and</strong> 5th drafts of <em>Critical Balance</em>. I talk about my struggles and journey with these two drafts, and I share some of the changes I made. I also discuss my thoughts about, and struggles with, my word count through the revision process. Finally I wonder about the odds of getting published that are often floated around. There are many commonly-made mistakes that are actually easy to avoid. How much does avoiding those mistakes improve your chances?</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Links</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Get a <a href="https://www.audibletrial.com/lol" target="_blank">free 30 day trial of Audible</a> with my affiliate link.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><a href="/blog/format" target="_blank">Manuscript Format </a>Blog Post.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Become a <a href="/blog/alphabeta" target="_blank">Beta Reader</a>!</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Check out my <a href="/blog/format" target="_blank">Guide to Novel Formatting in Word</a></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><a href="https://queryshark.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Query Shark blog</a></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@lexstarwalker" target="_blank">Follow me on Mastodon</a>!</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Join <a href="https://www.amazon.com/amazonbookclubs/dl/invite/hrz7Pk6" target="_blank">my Book Club</a>.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><a href="/support" target="">Support the show</a>.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Join my <a href="https://discord.gg/8muKvtvN8F" target="_blank">Discord server</a>.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Call My Voicemail: 951-465-5391</p>
