Hi,
So I was just reading a crit on my novel's second chapter and a thought struck my mind: There are bound to be some faults in our novels, no matter how much we planned at first or how much experience we have got in writing.
But I think we need to accept those faults and either admit them (and make peace with them) or try to remove them. I believe that these faults are part of the essence of our novel. If we remove these "faults" then I guess essence of our story will get diminished. We won't be able to feel the same about our novels if we removed those "faults".
In case of my novel, for instance I'm told that the present tense adds confusion, but I can't remove this "fault".
What do you think about the "faults" of your novels? Any thoughts on those inevitable "faults"? I'd like to hear your thoughts.
Thanks,
Skabr
