I had my session with my writing coach tonight. I'm very glad I did it. To any aspiring novelists out there: get a writing coach if you're "just about done" your first novel but have some reservations. I paid about the rate that I've seen posted on the website of a few editors. It was well worth it.

She suggested many changes and revisions, and made a lot of corrections to my text. I've got my work cut out for me now, but that's why I did this.

I tell you, Satan's gonna have no trouble taking over here 'cause all the women are gonna say: 'What a cute butt.' 'He's Satan!' 'You don't know him like I do.' 'He's the Prince of Darkness!' 'I can change him.'
