More thoughts

While I'm rewriting, I'm learning quite a lot, as I've already shared. Much food for thought; a character I thought was strong turns out to be almost a shadow. She needs more grit, more panache.

The basics of sentence style; passive vs active. Telling vs showing.

I'm so lucky to have this editor. She has years of experience and an easy-going style. A lot of praise for the things she likes. She has a way of making me look at what I've written and find a better way to write it. That's what editors do, of course, but I couldn't imagine working with anyone else.
