Milestone 2
Milestone #1 was completing and editing, as well as I could, my manuscript.
Milestone #2?
A professional editor has agreed to take me on!
What this means is a need for a bit of detachment from my manuscript. I think authors can sometimes get so close to a project that they cannot see the forest for the trees, so to speak. This means they cannot detect the problems, as it should already be perfect in their eyes. An editor won't necessarily see it that way. They will work on a project with a detached, professional eye, trained through practice to look for problems. Is your skin thick enough?
I hope mine is.
