I've heard some agented authors say that they read their agent's/editor's edit letters, and then sit in a funk for a few days. Evidently, it doesn't get much easier with time. I'm glad you're coming out the other side, and I'm so excited about your new crit group!Heather Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06699360166269376285noreply@blogger.com
