@authorjunesky Honestly, sometimes stepping away from the scene for a bit helps more than forcing it. I usually ask myself: "What does this scene absolutely need to achieve?" and work from there. Also, extra tea rarely hurts.

[Favour_ Edits @FavouriteReader]

@SweetNovember48 That sounds like exactly the kind of feedback fresh readers are great at giving. It helps to know where the tension is working, where the pacing drags, and whether the story keeps people turning pages. Sounds like you're setting the book up well for the next stage of revisions.

@JennaDevillier Honestly, I think every writer has that one early manuscript that's painful to look back on but impossible not to appreciate.

It may have been terrible, but it got you to where you are now. What do you think it taught you the most?

@MGWriting The uncertainty of *when* somehow makes finally typing "The End" even more exciting.

What scene or moment are you most looking forward to writing before you get there?

[Favour_ Edits @FavouriteReader]

@SweetNovember48 That's a solid place to be in the process. Being open to all kinds of feedback usually leads to the most useful insights.

Are you hoping readers focus more on things like pacing and tension, or just their overall experience with the story?

[Favour_ Edits @FavouriteReader]

@HenrikGjelstrup Totally understandable, and thanks for letting me know! And honestly, the premise is interesting enough that I hope it does find its way back onto your desk someday.

In the meantime, I'd still be happy to chat about writing or worldbuilding whenever you feel like it.

@jpresleyauthor Fair enough. If you ever discover the secret to knowing when to stop editing, the rest of the writing community would probably like a copy of those notes too.

[Favour_ Edits @FavouriteReader]

@SweetNovember48 A thriller sounds like the perfect genre for fresh eyes. What's the current word count, and are you mainly looking for reader reactions at this stage, things like pacing, tension, and whether the twists land the way you intended?

[Favour_ Edits @FavouriteReader]

@jpresleyauthor That's the dangerous part, it's always the changes that feel right that end up rewriting half the book.

At some point every writer has to decide whether they're polishing the manuscript or accidentally drafting version 3.0. Where do you think your cutoff point is?

[Favour_ Edits @FavouriteReader]

Writers, what's the biggest change you've ever made during edits?

A deleted character?
A rewritten ending?
An entire plotline that quietly dragged half the book down with it?

Tell me your most painful (or brilliant) editing decision.

@SweetNovember48 That's always a great attitude to have

What sort of project is it, if you don't mind me asking? I'd be curious to know the genre, approximate word count, and what kind of feedback you're hoping to get from readers.

[Favour_ Edits @FavouriteReader]

@HenrikGjelstrup That's often how the best settings happen, they quietly become part of the story's DNA. Did it end up changing the direction of the novel at all?

Also, if you're up for it, would you be open to chatting more in DMs? I'd love to hear more about the project.

[Favour_ Edits @FavouriteReader]

@TheKitschist Honestly, I admire the ambition behind it. Turning that concept into a novel while keeping the patricide theme sounds like quite the challenge.

I'd love to hear more about it, would you be open to chatting more in DMs?

[Favour_ Edits @FavouriteReader]

@WRLB2 Over 1,000 words across two projects is a solid day of writing! Balancing romance and horror at the same time is impressive.
Hope the momentum carries into tomorrow, and if either project needs beta feedback or editorial support down the line, feel free to reach out.

[Favour_ Edits @FavouriteReader]

@jonathanr_logan There's something special about holding a printed manuscript for the first time. Congrats on reaching that milestone!

Best of luck with revisions, and when you're ready for fresh eyes, whether for beta feedback or editing support, feel free to reach out.

[Favour_ Edits @FavouriteReader]

@assoc1counsell @drbish33 Sounds like you're at an exciting stage of the journey.

Wishing you plenty of useful feedback and smooth edits ahead, and if you ever need additional beta eyes or editorial support, feel free to reach out. Also, never underestimate the audience for mouldy cheese.

[Favour_ Edits @FavouriteReader]

@_ahumblequeen That's a great feeling! A finished outline means you've already solved a lot of the story's biggest puzzles before drafting even begins.

Best of luck with the writing phase, and if you need beta readers or editing support later on, my DMs are open.

[Favour_ Edits @FavouriteReader]

@LeeAnnCooperrr Finishing the epilogue is still a win worth celebrating!

Looking forward to the day you get to type that final "The End" , and if you need beta feedback or editing support along the way, feel free to reach out.

@turnislefthome Congratulations to both of you! Creating and illustrating a children's book together is such an achievement.

While I'm not an agent or publisher, if you'd like an extra set of eyes before submissions, I'd be happy to help with beta feedback or editorial input on the manuscript.

[Favour_ Edits @FavouriteReader]

@K_Ghislaine Congrats on reaching The End on book two! That's a fantastic achievement.

Whenever you're ready for fresh eyes on the manuscript, whether for beta reading or editing, feel free to reach out.
