I have submitted my first chapter to my crit group. What I noticed is that it doesn’t jump right into any action, but personally I don’t want it too. I think at the length it is I have more time for things to unfold. Dreamer’s Sea is more of a single title kind of story. A lot of the stories I read in that genre don’t open with bang. I just hope it isn’t frowned upon.
In order for me to be able to submit my chapter I have to do two crits. Fair is fair. Now I have to do two more chapters before I can send my next chapter in. Tis okay.
Here’s a little Daily Inspiration. I’m getting into Maine.
I think I’m ready for a trip back up there. We didn’t go at all last year. This year will be different.

Good luck editing… not sure how well a slow beginning will be welcomed by the agents/publishers, but I’m sure your crit group will tell you what they think!
I should get a crit group. Good luck with your new book!I’ve always wanted to visit Maine but haven’t made it yet.
How beautiful. I am so ready for a trip up there… uh… in the summer :-)Good luck with the critique. Gotta love those CPs!
