Heck, I’d almost forgotten what the first novel was all about.
Precisely!
I came back to my
first novel with as fresh a pair of eyes as I’m likely to have. Add to that
perspective, a review of the comments from my critique group (yep, better hang
on to those even after you think you’ve finished with them), advice from the
agent who critiqued the first ten pages of the novel, and the bits and pieces
of wisdom from the presentations, panels and craft-building sessions at the
conferences. I’m astonished at what I didn’t see before.
Which is exactly
what time and distance do.
So, how do you
space out your revisions? Are you ever done? Perhaps the real question is not
‘am I done’ but ‘is it done enough’?
