I am in raptures... oh my God, the manuscript is good... it's really good! I have gone back to the beginning and started prior to the previous opener with a couple of new chapters. I think this has really helped with exposition, as well as given a better flow to the action. Now I just have to revise what's already there. I'm confident everything will go much more smoothly working from a better beginning. This is my second draft... sort of... because I restarted the first draft halfway through and completely re-did the whole concept. I can't believe how much better things are the third time around.

I clicked on your profile bc you seconded my question about endings at Nathan Bransford's blog. I also just finished my first fantasy novel, I am a wife and a mom, and I LOVE The Philadelphia Story (and I am also revising. I sort of love to revise. It's kind of a problem.). Nice to meet you! I hope Nathan gives us a stellar answer...
