Prosperity Back from the Editor
I had mixed reactions yesterday when my editor sent me his revisions yesterday afternoon. My first reaction was, “Great! Now I get to do the final edits and finally publish the damned thing.” Then I started scrolling through the pages. I found a slew of comma errors, many phrases that needed rewording, and several suggestions to fill minor plot holes. I’m glad that there wasn’t anything major. The only thing I disagreed with was the verb tense suggestions he made. I had used active verbs, which he had changed to what I felt were passive.
I spent the rest of the afternoon and almost the entire evening implementing those changes. Also, I expanded a bit on a couple of scenes. The final edit is done. Prosperity is now in the design phase.

You know what? Sometimes you have to trust your own instincts and use advice as a guide: take note of it, but only follow it if you think that it is the right thing to do.

Thanks, Steve. That’s sound advice in itself.
