Sent my first draft to my editor last week and I have not heard anything back from him yet. So one of two things is happening: He loved it so much that hes overwhelmed an can not speak of the power of my book yet without passing out - or - it needs a lot of editing and reconstruction that he is too overwhelmed to get it done in a reasonable amount of time.
Editors - god bless you guys! You are fabulous. To help a writer with their work is amazing to me. I like to write. I like to get my thoughts down on paper. But the words in my heard may not come out correctly for a book. To be able to guide a writer to form a sentence better to convey a movement or thought or emotion - is an amazing ability.
And I am now working on my third, fourth and fifth book at the same time. Why is it that I can not balance a check book but I can keep my characters and my story lines straight.
Anyway.... I wait on pins and needles until I hear from my super hero editor.
