I plan to finish compiling my beta-reading notes for a fellow writer's manuscript, so that I can (without guilt) get my critique from her... then consider the four beta-reading critiques I've received for my own novel and make a list of all that I need to do while revising - which will begin NEXT week. Phew!<br /><br />P.S. Good luck with your own revision, Steph.
