Joan, I so appreciated what you shared about the gremlins who appear during proofreading. I’m praying my intuitive decision to let go quickly overcame what could have been perfectionistic hell.

I’m in the same phase as you with my novel, and definitely found some plot holes and missed opportunities to foreshadow. Quite fun, actually, but worried about meeting my deadline of July 15th.

Are you filling in the holes or letting them go? I have a feeling that no matter what I'll continue to see passages I could improve, etc. Sending your energetic creative vibes!

Filling in and delete, delete, delete. The god thing is, I have a deadline. The bad thing is, I have a deadline. lol. My eyes can only last 6 hours at most, with a couple breaks in between. It’s crunch time!
