Snowleopard:
What you feel is normal Darkshore. You've finished and now your 'baby' is a separate entity
from you. It's very normal to feel the way you do - so don't worry too much.
Darkshore:
That makes me feel a bit better. I'm diving right into marking up my printed first draft with the dreaded red pen. Hopefully by November I'll have a final copy. :D Any tips on revision?
Snowleopard:
Careful on overdoing it. You can over polish something.
You might want to step back and let it sit for just a bit to get a bit of distance from it.
Being too close to it - you sometimes miss things. (I speak from experience)
Hopefully you've also got a good friend or two who can read through your story.
You want people who will be bluntly honest with you.
(No nicey nice types here - nor people being mean to just be mean)
