One of the editors of the anthology my story will appear in sent me her edits tonight. Most of them are wonderful. I wrote the story four or five years ago (and haven't read it in at least two) & it's amazing how many are edits I'd probably make myself, now that my style's become more minimalist.
However, two or three just jarred me out of the story and I'm stressing about how to bring them up. I'm going to, as she suggested, chew on them for a few days before responding (deadline is the 25th). Any advice will be most appreciated.
She invited me to call if I wanted to discuss it with her, which could be a great way to go provided I don't say something inappropriate out of nervousness. But, they've planned a few events around publication so I'll be meeting her/them in October -- how bad will it be if our first contact is me saying: I agree with you, but . . .
Thanks!
