My book has something on the order of a polyp, i.e. fixed and better than ever after some minor surgery.
Here's what Amy, my book doctor, had to say: " I really enjoyed the voice and humor...moves very quickly and makes for a good, fun read. You've got your plot down pat, but your character's connection to that plot remains weak...we need to understand what's at stake for her... But (!!!!) I think these issues can be easily fixed."
Some of her concerns were with the protagonist's motivation, which was covered in my discarded first two chapters. So I've sent those to Amy to see if she can help me figure out a way to incorporate some of that material into the revision. (Jason may live again). We're meeting on Saturday, the 16th to discuss her critique.
Not one to put all my eggs in one basket, I'm sending out my musical to a producer and (what chutzpah) Twyla Tharp. Why not?
Andi,
A tweak here, a tweak there, and off you go! Sounds like things are looking up, Andi. Bon chance!
Thanks, Bobby. Stay tuned. I will surely post again after my meeting with the editor.
