When to Stop Tweaking your Manuscript


No one said it would be particularly easy to stop revising my manuscript. It seems that each time I pick it up I see something that could be said differently or better or more concisely.

A friend just sent me a great article on character development and a second one on "what a novel is." This may seem pretty basic and you may be thinking, "shouldn't you know that by now if you've just written one?" But these types of resources serve to reinforce and reassure me that I've taken my writing in the right direction and in some cases make me re-think my position in some areas.

I find them invaluable when sent from the right people. Thanks and maybe I'll end up revising or tweaking my manuscript. The point is to make it the best it can be and strengthening it will help me to get it there.
