I got my edit back from Caroline at the end of last week, so I am now going through the whole novel, once again tweaking and expanding. It was a relief that no major surgery was needed and I hope to be finished with the edits by the end of this week (I've had today off, as I was meeting friends). Then there are just the synopsis and query letter to complete...
This morning my friends asked me about progress and I told them I was not too far away from being able to start sending it out to agents. They then asked what I would do next and looked horrified when I said I would probably start writing another novel...

All sounds really positive, Cathy! Good luck X
Thanks Mandy. I have to admit the next stage is rather scary :)
of COURSE you will start writing another novel! It's the best therapy for submission-related anxiety (and I speak from current experience). Very, very best of luck with it all.
Thanks Queenie. And good luck with yours too!
It's sounds to me like you're making great progress. I'm a little bit envious as I'm only half way through the first draft of my novel.
Ooh, editing. I need to learn about that. Any tips?
Sylvia, it's taken me several years to get this far!
The editing I am sort of learning as I go along, but I did find the book 'Self-editing for Fiction Writers' by Renni Browne and Dave King useful.
