Fine Tooth Comb on The Vase

Well, just finished my final read through on The Vase last night, and I was going to send it to my agent, but I didn't do it. I remembered my own advice from just yesterday morning. That a novel is never done...that whenever I read through one of my manuscripts, I always find a way to make it better.

So...I will read through it one more time this weekend. As I said yesterday, every time I read through my MS of Killer of Killers, I continuously improved it. But that was my first novel. I made a lot of first time writing a novel mistakes. And it took me a long time to correct them. The Vase, being my second novel, didn't have those mistakes, so I don't need as many read throughs as Killer of Killers needed, but regardless, I know that every time I sent in KOK to my agent, I always wished I had waited just a little bit longer, because there I was making more changes, and having to send another copy.

One more pass through The Vase. Then I send it to Ange on Monday.
