Editing Character Development: Done! · 9:13am Jul 9th, 2012
The pre-reader must be prophetic. In the email, he said:
I'd rather have you take a month and let me pass it, than a day force me to say no.
And here I am, almost exactly one month later, with the revised draft. A lot of that month was spent procrastinating, I'll admit, but it was a month nonetheless.
So about the revision: It's nothing major. I haven't changed any plot points or whatever. It's all about about making it easier and more enjoyable to read, Fixing grammar. Reducing telling and increasing showing.
A good amount of this was due to the valiant efforts of Exuno, who offered a lot of great suggestions, many of which were things I didn't even think of.
At any rate, I am putting up the edited chapters right now, and I will send it off to EqD for another go. I do have a question about this, though, if snyone happens to know: If you're resubmitting a rejected story, do you just submit it through the submission form again?
