So. Yeah. Umm. Did not do that full read through. I did go back and review the most recent six or so chapters, and I got some new feedback that I put into practice. And I read and gave feedback on some critique partners’ work.

And then I decided I need to retitle the WIP and spent the rest of the week scrolling, looking at comps, reviewing all the notes I took in prewriting, trying to figure out if the book is still what I meant it to be when I started it, comparing where it is with what I wrote in my practice query… I put the manuscript into a word cloud to see what came out (it wasn’t what I thought).

And I’m still undecided about the title.
