ONE MORE REASON TO GET A GOOD EDITOR

In Chapter Ten someone needs to be sacrificed. I’d already doomed the MC’s best friend in Chapter Two and needed another victim. I came up with a minor character, readers could learn to hate. She makes regular appearances in scene to further this particular plot line. In Chapter Four I was compressing time as I moved from one major event to another. I made a brief mention of a visit this character made to the MC’s home and how the MC felt about it. My editor suggested this would make a good scene. At first I was sceptical. After all, it would only be about the minor character snooping around the MC’s home. What I thought would be boring has turned out to be just the opposite. It just goes to prove that even the most trivial situations can add a touch of drama. That’s one more reason to get a good editor to read through your work.
