Weirdly enough
Jun. 23rd, 2010 01:43 amWorked on The Novel today. It's been a while. I keep thinking it's finished and then find new things to tweak.
However, this new thing did not come from me! It came from a friend. Yup, someone else finally read the whole dang thing! I've sent the manuscript to seven people, and one dropped out for life reasons (justified!), three have gotten a few chapters in and stalled for reasons unrelated to the manuscript itself, and three I never heard back from about it at all.* What's a girl gotta do to get a decent editor?
She's not a fellow writer, so she didn't have writerly suggestions, but she did give me at least one bit to revise, which I spent the day implementing.
( Drumroll . . . werewolves! )
*If you did the math there, you noticed that I didn't leave one of the seven to be the friend who read it. That's 'cause I didn't send her the manuscript--she got it from one of the seven I had sent it to. The world is weird.
