So as I expected, the editor's review of my manuscript is a mixed bag. I haven't had the chance to go over more than just the overview. Much of it is very, very positive. But there's still a long list of stuff I need to work on. She didn't immediately discount my characters as unlikeable as at least one of my readers did, but she did give me pointers about how to make them more likeable, which is helpful. I will have to go through the line by line suggestions. I'm sure there is much from which I can learn. And much work to do.
Sigh. There is no such thing as a manuscript that is perfect. I just have to achieve publishability. That's still going to be a long haul. But at least I know how I can do it.
