Latched onto my Writer's Group last week. Read a manuscript, as my printer failed. Roundly critiqued to where I understand professional editors all declined it. Too long. Parts did not fit together. While perhaps a masterpiece of thought, it was not a masterpiece or reading. Yet the critiques were much appreciated for their objectivity and candor.
I have a lot more to edit. But submissions are among this cycle's Semi-Annual projects. The composition keeps my mind agile. My spirit would be better if it were shared with readers, but that takes a measure of discipline and compliance with the rules that the different potential destinations have. If that's what it takes, that should be what I do.
