@comicsand_@TiffeDraft Count me in if you are looking for more. The Last Dance of the Hesperides already sounds like a story I would want to dive into.
@authoralafair Six times? The story isn’t the problem, the plan is. A break helps but coming back without a solid outline will put you right back here.
My editing, beta reading and formatting slots are open.
If your manuscript needs a sharp eye before it goes out, DM me. Romance, Fantasy, Sci-fi, Thriller and Literary fiction.

Formatting is the first thing your reader judges before they read a single word.
A poorly formatted book signals one thing. You rushed it. Your story deserves better.

सच्चा ज्ञान देश, समाज और समस्त मानवता के कल्याण का मार्ग प्रशस्त करता है। इसलिए यह जरूरी है कि हमारा ज्ञान और हमारे कर्म पूरी मानवता के लिए प्रेरणा बनें।
आत्मा शुद्धः सदा नित्यः सुखरूपः स्वयम्प्रभः।
अज्ञानान्मलिनो भाति ज्ञानाच्छुद्धो भवत्ययम्।।
A beta reader’s job is not to cheer you on.
It’s to catch what isn’t working before your readers do. Fans tell you it’s great. Beta readers tell you the truth.

Writing your own book teaches you more than any editing course.
You feel where readers lose interest. You know which scenes have to go even when you love them. That lens is what I bring to every manuscript.

@steph_nwang A second draft that's already strong means your instincts are working. The self doubt is just the editing brain doing its job. Beta reader will confirm what you already sense.
Most manuscript doesn't fail because of bad writing. They fail because of uncaught details.
A plot hole here. A motivation that stop making sense there. Details are everything.

Writing is done in the quiet moments when nobody is looking and the applause is far away.
Be proud of yourself for showing up for your story when the only witness is the blinking cursor on the screen.

@LioraCorax The setup is compelling but the real question is whether her reaction to seeing the childhood friend feels earned. Readers will forgive cruelty if the emotion is authentic. Is it?
