A bit of brilliant advice from Margaret Atwood's
"Ten Editing Tips for Your Fiction Mss"...
Charles Dickens said, “Make ‘em laugh, make ‘em cry, make ‘em wait.” He put “wait” at the end because it was crucial. (In any series of three, the third is the most important.) In terms I’ve picked up by playing with the boys: Drop the hankie early, but make ‘em wait for the opening of the kimono.
Looking forward to handing off my WIP later this month. Atwood's
The Year of the Flood is burning a hole in my new Kindle.
