Disappointment and Hope Wrapped Together in a Critique


I had the great joy of being asked for a sample chapter of my book, at the last Writers Conference/ Workshop that I attended in September.



I sent three chapters and the Literary Agent critiqued twelve pages.

I am deeply grateful for the Literary Agent's time and effort. That being said, I cried for an hour. 

Then I pulled myself together and reread the critique. 

It is stunning that I am such a poor writer. I am more amazed at my inability to express myself coherently.

What do I do now? I can't throw up my hands and give up.

I need to learn how to write. I need to understand about structure.

And my grammar is horrible. 



Classes? A critique group? Both probably.
