2013 Revisions Needed?

Hello Everyone! Do you have a wonderful piece of work out there that needs revisions?
  I did. Finally my children's book MEET SANDY GULL is at the Publishers receiving the needed revisions. I hope it will be available shortly!
  My original plan was to simply have my shop address removed since the shop has closed. But I entered this book into a contest that offered editor/judge's feedback. My book did fairly well but the suggestions I received were completely correct! My book is a rhyming story and there were a few places I broke the rhyme. I didn't realize how important that was until I began doing "readings" at local libraries and schools. Every time I'd come to those particular lines, (that I had felt were cute and necessary), I'd stumble or stutter. As I became more experienced giving readings, I found I would simply skip over those lines. The judges were right! Since I had to make revisions anyway, I've decided to have those lines removed. I feel I will have a much better story.
 So I guess the moral of this story is ..., don't hesitate to consider the advice of a reader. You may not always agree, but definitely give it some thought.
Keep Writing and Keep Smiling!
