A happy medium? Erm, make sure you don’t change anything they DID like and take their suggestions, beyond that just do your thing 🙂

I’m cheering you on but not up to a full cheerleader dance, I’ve never been any good at the splits!

But I’ve been practising on old stories so I hope I’m better at this time than I was the last. Only time will tell. Good luck with yours huh?

Can sympathise, as my last two mss have had huge ones. Contemplating slashing and rewriting is grim (at least for me), but I find can be surprisingly liberating!!

Yeah, the stuff they mentioned was more to do with the setup and with making the conflict too obvious. Some of it is subtle stuff – as in the fine line between the hero being too controlling and being alpha. The heroine being strong or just being too stubborn. Grrr.

Susan – thanks to you too! Supersonic? I think that’s part the problem! Hee hee. Will have to take these ones a bit slower maybe.
