Editor's Comments

I've flipped through the latest manuscript which has my editor's, Stacy, comments. It is quite helpful to see the story through another person's eyes. There have been quite a few, "why did I do that?" revelations on my part.

Stacy left quite a few notes on the pages. I am not a professional writer, nor have I taken more than the required English courses during my educational life, so there are quite a few technial aspects I am not clear on. It's always helpful when someone helps me out in that regard. Stacy also pointed out a few places where my writing style was either confusing, uneeded, or out of place. For example, I started a wealth of sentences with And and But, and an attempt to control pacing I used too many short sentences.

Stacy also provided quite a few big picture comments which shows me where I had not explained the plot and story well enough.

I will begin my next edit (hand) soon.
