Feedback
Hi,
It's Friday again... and somewhat a relief. With kids out of school summer weather it's ideal to be outdoors - when the sun isn't out in full bloom.
But something interesting came up earlier this week. I got back the edits on Bk II from the copy editor and read her overall feedback. Then we had a lengthy phone conversation and I listened to what she had to say about scenes that needed to be tweaked, rewritten and revised.
At first I tried hard to understand. Then I heard her feedback about my characters, their relationships and their inner fears... and I stopped to think hard. How could I not have known these things about my characters when I'd lived with them for 10 years? How could I have not seen it coming.
Obviously I haven't. And the beauty is that others who do, can tell me more than I thought I knew.
