Hi, I've just recently joined the forum and have read many intersting and useful threads. One of particular note recently was active and passive sentences.
I have finished a first draft of my story but not calling it the first draft as I feel it still lacks certain elements. That said, I'm currently in the process of editing and it's on this aspect that I seek some opions and guidance.
We read and hear that after writing a story there is the process of editing, redrafting, editing yet again and onwards until the story is done, sculptured into a work of art. There must come a point when the writer can perceive the end is near and I'm wondering if there is something tangible that a writer can hang on a hook and say, "I'm almost there."
Or is it like falling in love, you know when you know?
