Weight+Gain,+Completed+First+Drafts


 * A: Get the doc into Drive **
 * B: Post it in a discussion thread here. **
 * C: Start pairing up and providing feedback for other pieces. Think BIG PICTURE FIRST rather than LINE-BY-LINE (That'll happen in step four). **

My guess is that what we need the most are editors to help us decide the following:

1) In terms of the moving pieces, are the transitions (and setting details pertaining to each) clear enough?

2) Do we have enough of a "face" for each character?

3) Are there scenes that are missing? In other words, what more does the reader need to understand the speaker's ** development ** (or lack thereof, if that's the point) throughout the story?

4) Once completed with steps 1-3, look for the usual on a line-by-line basis: EGADS, one-times, clichés, active verbs, etc.

THANKS!
