The say it’s unwise to shift horses in mid-stream. So it’s a good thing my saddle days were limited only to trail rides as a kid. And it’s also a good thing that the only stream of water I intend to face today will come from my showerhead.
My agent has asked me to take one more pass through The Deep Downstairs to address a couple concerns. She would have sent it directly to my publisher if I’d asked her to, but after not-too-much consideration, I decided to at least see if I agreed with her points.
Totally honest here. I’m not sure I do, not enough to stop it from being submitted. Most of me is screaming to let the editors guide me through the next rewrite and continue on with the WIP. But my little voice that’s rarely wrong is saying stuff like, “You’re not under contract with this. And what if The Deep Downstairs just raw enough that they don’t accept it especially in today’s tight market?”
So I’m giving myself two short weeks to make another pass, then I’m sending it on to my critique group for their comments, ones I'll hear at our April retreat. And then ... Ready or not, here it comes?
We’ll see.
