I recently got my very first editorial letter. *gasp*
Those things are a little scary, even when they’re exciting. I’ve wanted to tell you about what it feels like to get that letter and make those changes, but it’s really hard to put it all into words. The thoughts have been tumbling around in my head. Finally, I figured out how to tell you when I went to see WICKED this weekend. The author/editor relationship is a lot like the relationship between Elphaba and Galinda. I’m serious! At the end of the day, when the book is finished and the story closes, if you’ve done it right, it should feel something like this…
But until that day…I’m guessing it feels a little closer to this…
Yup–I’ve got an awful long way to go. *grin*
Back to revisions. Love you Anica. *heart squish*

Mine was positive and really amazingly insightful. It just makes it hard because you want to live up to the brilliance of your editor! You'll be amazing-I know it!

Ooooh love a good editorial letter. There are all those wonderful forehead smacking moments where you think "YES! That is exactly what I should do."
Happy revisions!

Ouch! But they must have loved it and recognized its potential, or they wouldn't have bought it, right? Good luck!
