This Doesn't Feel Like the Future
I worked with a developmental editor and she gave so much excellent feedback that the book will be much, much better after the next draft.
It's also going to be a ton of work.
The best part of working with her is that she understood the book. She knew exactly what it was trying to do, she was fully invested in the narrative, and she gave me enough praise to soften the critical blows.
I still think I'm looking at completion by the end of the year, but I now have a rare opportunity to improve the manuscript beyond what I thought was possible. Both her comments and my reflection on her comments have generated a ton of new ideas and connections.
I still have one thing in particular left to solve. I finally had an idea today that should move me in the right direction.
This shit is hard.
