Thank you for all this <3 I've realized since starting writing how abysmal my english education was - which just goes to show that expensive schools aren't necessarily good schools. It was a while back - I like to think teachers wouldn't get away with so much now! I agree lots of writing - it feels like a process of evolution.
That's interesting what you say about putting in a lot and then cutting it back. I've only just started being able to do that as well. I found a great tendency to think "but I LIKE that so I WANT it in there" regardless of whether other poeple were going to like it or it would really work that well as a whole! Good to have that drawn to my attention again :)
I agree that's not helpful, any more than are negative reviews. Ive been lucky to have very helpful betas :D
