Another full day of writing, working on the second half of no. 8 and reading over what I have. Chris and I will talk tomorrow night after the debates. Alice is back from her cruise and refreshed from her 3 days with Cecilia. Dad and Sue were on the same ship, so Alice bumped into them last night at dinner. It's a small world.
Chris sent me comments from two members of his writing group who read all of Harmony. They gave me constructive, nuanced feedback that I found very helpful. I can easily incorporate their ideas into the text. Their best feedback focused on the use of conflict, in particular milking some of it and stretching it out over a longer span. There's an entirely different layer of edits that occur once all the pieces are assembled and refined in a manuscript. These edits have to do with pacing, setups, deleting lines that aren't needed, and aligning all the storylines into one tight package in the end. Should take a few days to work their ideas in.
