It's true. The entire manuscript has been edited by professional editors who work for real publishers, and now even I have gone over the latest and most extensive edits three times. Last night, I polished up that one scene, which had been rewritten, but needed more work.
The problem was when you write a narrative, the words you use in a narrative, are not necessarily the same words that a character would use in dialogue. That was the main thing, really, that needed fixing. And it's fixed.
But you know what? I'm going to go over that manuscript one more time. What? I thought I was going to send it today, after the third time. Heck, I thought I was going to send it Wednesday, after the second time. But I keep making it better, and the contract gives me until next Friday, so I might as well. I'm always glad I did. So tonight will be the fourth time, and then I'll send it back.
