I spent a good part of last night improving my John Dunn manuscript even though it's already been submitted. Chapter 12 was particularly a mess. It's not now, but the publisher has the version which is. I suppose I'll finish this latest read-through and then send the newer version.
You never know. They might not have had time to read it yet. So they may as well read the one that's better. A lot rides on it. Still, even if they did read the one I sent, they will certainly understand that changes of some kind will result from the editing process, so it's not a disaster if that's the case.
And everyone in publishing knows that the more you read and revise the better a manuscript becomes. I'm not the only one who does that. All writers and editors do that. All. Par for the course. So you keep at it, and your writing keeps getting better. Like anything you do.
