Well, that took longer than expected

[davidgillon]

I finished my sensitivity read today, or at least the ms mark-up part of it. I'll know for the future that having a two chapter action sequence climax involving a wheelchair using protagonist will take considerably longer to work through.

(It'll also help when I'm not spending an hour checking the coronavirus latest every time I need to google something)

The ms isn't actually asking him to do anything unreasonable, it's just the down in the bushes level of detail needed to explain "No, he can't point the gun until he knows which direction the threat is coming from when he's in a crowd and may need to turn on the spot, which needs both hands" and "No, he's not doing a 90 degree turn at speed, that way lies roadrash".

It definitely helped that I liked the story!

"No, he can't point the gun until he knows which direction the threat is coming from when he's in a crowd and may need to turn on the spot, which needs both hands" and "No, he's not doing a 90 degree turn at speed, that way lies roadrash".

That is neat information and I am glad you can help provide it.

Credit goes to the friend who told the author "You need a sensitivity read, and I know who can do it for you".

This book sounds like a lot of fun!

It's actually pretty dark, but not at all bad.
