Getting Better Every Day

The more you do something, the better you get. And with writing, it's even more true. But that is mostly the case when you're working with editors and publishers who are vested in your manuscripts. I got better from my experiences with Melange, and now I'm getting even better with my experiences with Penumbra. When I think about my experiences with my first two publishers, Virtual Tales and Cogito, I became a more experienced writer, but for some reason, those two publishers didn't have the same kind of editorial guidelines that Melange has. And Melange doesn't have the same kind of guidelines that Penumbra has. When it comes to POV, they do, but not as strict, and when it comes to verbiage, they don't. Penumbra is the most strict of them all, and far and away Penumbra has the highest standards when it comes to literary application. And I'm glad The Vase is being published by them. Everything happened for a reason, at least as far as The Vase is concerned. And now it's being published by the publisher who is making it the best literary work it can possibly be. I'm thankful for that.
