I'm so excited! My editor just sent the first part of my story back. It was a total confidence boost. There wasn't very much he had to change. I have a tendency to drift back and forth from present tense to past tense. I'm so happy that he was able to fix it for me. The only other suggestion was to add dialog to a certain part. I know I need to but I absolutely loath writing dialog. I find it difficult to create 2 seperate voices having a natural conversation. I'm going to try and write a scene tonight and see how it goes. I know it's just a suggestion but I also know that he's right. During the first draft I had dialog but it felt so unnatural and forced that I erased it. This was just the boost I needed to finish the last chapter. I've been putting it off since I wasn't sure that the story was worth finishing. Also the ending is such an important part to the story because it's the big reveal. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to properly deliver the punch it needed to be effective. I just hope that when I do submit it that it gets accepted this time.
