I got my edits back from the professional editor. Wow. It was more than just edits -- it was a hard-hitting 10-page critique plus line edits throughout the whole manuscript. Ouch, ouch, and ouch. My voice can come across as coarse and venting sometimes, and even though I knew this it hurts to read it.
So I'm revising. Revision, the process of seeing it in a new way. The journey continues.

You've got my sympathies. My novel took a real drubbing at the workshop. Just remember that the only advice you're going to take is advice you want to take. That helps with the sting...
Thanks!
