Woohoo, edits are back on Sun and Moon!
Things I have learned from this round of edits:
1. I use the em dash way, way too much.
2. I have a comma addiction
3. The universal POV is not okay with my publisher. My poor editor had to fix a TON of head hopping as a result, she must think I’m an idiot! Doh!
That last one is kind of a bummer. I work in third person limited all the time, and now I’m starting to feel that all the stories I read have it too. First person seems rare, and the universal “storyteller” type feel is pretty much out. I find myself longing for a change in tone, just for variety. On the other hand, that isn’t to say that I personally did a great job with universal POV. It was tough.
I think the story turned out very sweet with some excessive naughtiness that makes me smile. The editor suggested a sequel, which is always flattering. This was always a one-off in my mind, so I’ll have to think about it.
I’m pleased to have a release on the way and proud of the work. I hope to have news on a release date very soon, and a cover too
