Selkie update

The Selkie edit is continuing as planned. There are some very strong scenes in this book, scenes I can be proud of, but even those are receiving tweaks here and there. The changes I'm making now are largely to direct reader perception along a path I want them to follow. Something as simple as who pulls back, for example, changes a scene entirely because it shows a different character as the aggressor.

This means that the changes are largely small, but with big consequences. And that the changes make little difference to the word count, but are hard to find and a pain to figure out just how to perform that shift.

What's odd is that the accumulation of changes is such that I wonder how much of a shock this will be to the one person who read the first draft :).

I must say it's odd having fun doing an edit, especially a difficult one, but there you go. I am having fun.
