I'm blasting through my second read on my second book, my young adult novel, because the second reader on my first book gave back my manuscript over the weekend with lots of good notes in it. I can't wait to dig in and address her suggestions (and fix the handful of typos she found), but I've got to finish my second round of edits on book no. 2 first.
Fortunately, I don't have any other books that aren't my own that I'm dying to read at the moment, so my distractions are relatively limited. Time is a-ticking. I've got to get ready to submit my first 10 pages of both books for agent/editor readers coming to the San Diego State Writers Conference in January.
I don't think I'm going to have time to let anyone read book no. 2 before I submit it for professional input at the conference, so I'm taking a risk there, but I think what I have is fairly solid at this point. The more I read it, the better I feel about it. What a relief!
