Different publishers...different opinions...

Isn't it funny how one person thinks your stories are well written, believable, and historical accurate...when someone else will pick the thing nearly to death?

I have been with several publishers over the years, and I must say I have really been amazed how different one publisher is from another. Or is it the editors who are different? In either case, I'm going through edits right now with a story that's coming out in December. This book had been previously pubbed before, so I figured it was pretty dang good. Nope. Apparently, the new editor has found lots of plot holes - or at least the timeline part of the story. Also, this new editor has marked up my document like a Christmas tree. lol So what's up with that? Does that mean all the 5-star reviews and Recommended Reads I'd gotten for this story are all lies? Hmmmm...

It sure makes one wonder, doesn't it? But in the end I'll do the edits and change those timeline spots, and hopefully I can change those 5-stars to ALL Recommended Reads. Yeah, that is what I'll do. heehee

Think positive!
