Lena: Editing
Making some changed to Lena to make it more accessible to the American reader. I have taken the feedback (both negative and positive) into consideration and will make some adjustments to re-target the story from a Eastern European immigrant to an American audience. As I'd like for the American reader to get better insight into the character. One thing I would like to point out is that I don't aim to make the character likable or the opposite for that matter. The aim here is to be fair to a person's state of mind. Honesty above all.

Hi Ivan,
ReplyDeleteI have been here a few times, and am checking the progress of your editing.
I enjoy hearing from you and hope you will get in touch with me...perhaps I can share more of an "American" perspective with you...although I thought your story was brilliant anyway (the fact that I was unfamiliar with your character's music was due merely to my own deficinecy).
Hope you are well...stay in touch, OK?
Tom
Thanks Tom! Editing has been... arduous. I decided to take some time off and then get back to it, hoping to have a fresher outlook. I'm using the story for a fellowship app and to shop it around for publishing, so naturally I want to do a good job to the final draft.
