Slash and Burn
Now I know what Jenny meant!
I've been revising and editing for over a week now, and can't seem to get past Chapter 6 - every time I look at the MS, there's more places to cut and more vocabulary to fine-tune.
With the dreaded Q word hanging over my head, I'm trying to make sure my first 6 pages (not 3! not 5!) will at least make others ask "what happens next?"
I've also got a short list of agents! Thank you, AgentQuery.com. I sure hope it doesn't matter that all these agents are in far-flung parts of the US and not a single one is in Canada.
I also borrowed Jenny's title, since it's a Manic Street Preachers song :-)
