Tony:
Here’s the book back, with some notes. I did a lot of scribbling on the text, then decided to put together my edits, which I’ve crudely broken down into two groups -big ones and others. Give this all a good read, then we’ll talk.
Big Edits:
1. First Draft: It’s a mistake to submit a first draft. Maybe a second or third, but never the first. This reads like a hurriedly thrown together effort with no time spent reading and rereading what was written. There are too many mistakes -wrong names, multiple use of the same word in a sentence, misuse of small facts, and so on. Dialog must be repeated out loud several times before it’s finished; it’s the only way I know to make it sound real.
Many of the mistakes are small and easily fixable, but taken as a whole they slow down the reading and become frustrating.
