The darkened sky above and clouds along the eastern hills. The sun a silvering at that rim, the bellies of the clouds lit from beneath and the dark yet above. Then the dark giving way to the land, and the land blue and gray for one slow moment comprised only of heartbeats and breathes before a warming gold blooms down the fence posts and out across the plains.
After receiving some generous feedback from an agent whom I queried, I have decided to circle back and do another major revision of my novel before moving forward with more queries. Their comments brought to light some aspects of the story and character development that I believe I can address to strengthen the manuscript. I hope to finish this revision in four to six months. Therefore, this is where I am spending most of my writing time these days.
So, where do I start with such a revision? To give you a glimpse of my process, I recorded a short video of my “revision wall.” Hope you find it interesting!
