Finishing touches....
Jul. 6th, 2006 02:04 pmWell, I'm going to spend today putting finishing touches on the now-officially-titled "The Nature of Man". I'll do a read through and see what other changes I need to make. My goal is to get it in the mail tomorrow!
MJM and Dragon read it and approved. Dragon made some very helpful suggestions, and while I don't think the hook is fantastic, it is at least unusual. I am still torn over the occcasional present tense statements, which Dragon advises me to change to past, but then I think it will read differently. They are cultural commentary, and not a part of the story...so I am inclined to leave them that way. I think I'll run out two versions and let my first reader pick....
Tomorrow, back to working with Shironne, "fleshing out the milieu".
