Update on the car issue - it was the starter. We're now $50 poorer but the starter works. We were just lucky the mechanic cut us a break. Otherwise it would've been closer to $100.
I'm not going to post a lengthy diatribe on revisions and edits. I don't need to. Anyone who is a writer knows how hard it is to sit down and chop up your own work. It's even worse when you send your pride and joy off to other people to have them chop it to bits too. But that's what critique groups and beta readers are there for...to help you make your writing better.
So remember to thank your beta readers and your critique partners. They're part of the writing process too and they deserve credit for their assistance.
Good luck! Editing and revising is exhausting. But yes, beta readers and critiquers are the best thing EVER.:D
