Got my Ed Letter This Week . . . .

woot! that's exciting! sounds like you have a sharp editor.

It's overwhelming sometimes to think about making those deep changes, but if you take them one issue at a time, it feels much easier.

Congrats to you on your terrific deal! I saw it on PM but haven't found the chance to congratulate you until now. Enjoy the ride!

Just like a long baby-labor, these changes will be a labor of love - and totally worth it when those checks come in! Have fun!

I love the editing stage. I used to be a magazine editor before I became a novelist, so that says something. But enjoy this period and learn from every suggestion. I think it really helps to improve your writing when you can be open to other people's opinions of your work.
