While my gluten free eggplant lasagna(which I hope is good rather than gross) is in the oven, I figured I'd post about my revisions on my resubmission.
I did break down and completely restrict each chapter to one character's perspective. Even after I changed it to each passage, it was still too much switching. My best friend in chicago read through part of it and the perspective changing was the first thing he mentioned. I think overall that all of the changes have made it a very different, but significantly better book. The extra sexiness is up for interpretation as to whether or not it makes the book better. If I were going to try and publish it in the mainstream rather than as a romance I probably would remove some of it and tone it down a bit.
If anybody actually reads this blog and has been through either eggplant lasagna or revising and resubmission, please give me some advice. I want everybody's negative/positive/neutral commentary to sort through in order to make my book better. It can be hard to hear sometimes, but I know it makes my stuff better.
UPDATE: My eggplant lasagna turned out more like a casserole and less like a lasagna. I think I'll just stick with gluten free noodles.
