Well, I re-worked chapters 38-41 of my story before returning the file to my editor Sunday night. Although I’ve reviewed and tweaked each page too many times to count, I’m still finding verbs that need to be upgraded, two sentences that will be strengthened if combined, and paragraphs that must be re-sequenced to make sense.
Despite the agonizing slowness of the editing process, I can’t tell you how pleased I am with my editor’s suggestions. She asks hard questions about a character’s thought process, or the relationship between one character and another, or a detail that seems to have changed from a previous chapter. Very little gets by her.
All I have to do is bang my head against the wall until I’m inspired.
My editor should be returning the file by mid-week. I’ll review her comments about what I submitted, and move on to review the next few chapters.
Oh, before I forget, I’m meeting with my publisher on Wednesday to design the cover art… how exciting!
