They get it. They see improvement. They push us toward our best work. Here’s a little message from my dear critique group member, Uma Krishnaswami:
Congratulations on turning Jasper in. He grew into a fine young man on our watch, and I’m thrilled I got to be one of those who ran alongside him cheering.

Looks like no one ever taught me you’re just supposed to highlight the important parts. Oh, wait. It’s all important.
One letter, five highlighters, one notebook full of scribbling, one marked up manuscript, one calendar, one phone call with my editor. This is how second-round edits begin.
And this is the shrunk down version of the letter, a little cheat sheet that will guide me when I need direction…

… and here’s an expanded version to take me chapter through chapter.

I’ve never done edits precisely this way before and probably won’t do them just like this again. Each book is a journey, and I do my best to follow along.
Writers out there, do you always edit in the same way or does your approach change?
