Got the manuscript back from Audrey on Friday and spent all night reading her notes and comments. Then I spent Saturday and Sunday helping a friend, yadda yadda… I did reprint the MS last night so I can do the edit, and I’ve come to the conclusion that I really need a hole punch with a higher sheet capacity. I know what I’m getting for Christmas…
Anyway, I’m so glad I spend the money for a good developmental/content edit. After reading the thing over and over during revision, I get way too close to see the big picture. I mean, I have my inklings, and I was definitely moving in the right direction with the revision, but I didn’t quite hit the mark like I wanted. Didn’t take the fix far enough and unfortunately still ended up with a sizable plot hole.
So I’ve been mulling over her comments, knocking around some ideas, and I’m gonna run my thoughts past her and try to hammer out how to fix what I broke. Then, of course, the fun will be… fixing it.
