I think this must now be version 12 of the Romantic Feminist I'm working on. The last agent said too much 1st person not good, too many layers of introspection ditto. So I am finally killing the last of my darlings - adding a few details and putting it nearly all into 3rd person - reserving 1st person present tense for exceptionally vivid passages... will this do? I am sending the first 50 pp. off to another agent (or possibly 3) tomorrow. This bloody books IS going to get published - whatever M says (supportive husband? nah - now that he's discovered I'm not dying and supper will be cooked, he's back to normal).
