Well, after a short break, I'm back reading my own book again. Sixty-two pages in to my fifth or sixth read -- I've lost track -- and I still like it. I'm not sick of the characters (I love them, in fact) and the story still makes sense.
This last read is all about the flow of things. I'm not making a lot of corrections and no heavy edits. I'm trying to read it as if I were the average reader, picking the book up at the bookstore and giving the story a go.
I'm still tempted to redo the beginning, but after looking at it so many times at this point without coming up with a better intro, it must be OK, right? I'll keep thinking about it, but it still works for me, so we'll see.
Tonight I'm doing a little work that I couldn't finish at the office today, but I hope to wrap it up soon so I can read my book for a bit before going to bed. It's still all about fitting in a few minutes here and there when I can. Once I'm done, then I'll start sending queries to agents. Yikes! This little project's getting serious!
