So, about a year or two ago, when I was in fifth grade, I 'hired' an 'editor' for my book, Fulfillers
Unfortunately, our relationship didn't really work out.
He didn't really tell me anything about my story. Just that I should change the spellings of my MC's names.
And then, he came up with this wack plot that he said I should change mine to.
And it was the farthest thing from mine that he could've come up with.
I was a tad immature about the whole thing, and got really mad. I fired him.
And to quote myself, I said, "My mom thinks it would be for the best if we severed our relationship as author and editor."
I had to use the 'mom said so' thing. I was nervous about firing him, and it just spilled out.
As for the rest of it, I rehearsed that a million times.
However, this man was my uncle. And I think when I fired him as my editor, he thought I fired him as an uncle.
We barely talk anymore. And when we're together, it's extremely awkward.
Since then, Fulfillers has bitten the dust and I have written a new story that I haven't really titled yet.
And for that story, I have already asked someone to be my editor, and I'm positive she'll say yes.
The woman I asked was Alisa Bair.
She wrote a book called A Table For Two (perhaps some of you have read it). The book got world-wide attention.
Now, she writes songs and musicals for companies all over the world.
Why would she agree to be a thirteen-year-olds editor then?
Because she works with my mom! She's Associate in Worship Ministries at my church and my mom's Director of Family Ministries.
Alisa has read some of my other writings and takes notes on them.
At first, I thought that was really weird, to take notes on a story as you read, but I'm fine with it now. I do that mentally. She just writes it down.
I can only hope that this time, everything will work out...
