Editing Process: Waiting for Readers

So, you're down with your draft. You've got a few friends looking at the manuscript even. Now what?
Well, there's not a whole lot to do but wait. However, I TOTALLY understand that sometimes you just can't seem to stop thinking about writing. Here are some things you can do while you wait for your readers to send you their comments:
1. Read the manuscript...just make sure you don't add or change anything until you here back from your readers.
2. Record the manuscript. This not only keeps you busy, but it can help you figure out what sounds good and sounds awkward.
3. Find a good book to read...distract yourself with other authors' writing.
4. Find a hobby to keep yourself busy with.
Lots of love, all! And please feel free to share and comment.
