Instead of moving forward in the narrative, I recently spent a couple days adding information to my prologue. It was still new material, not a rewrite; but one of my most-trusted first readers is my wife, who is a huge fan of the types of books I happen to be writing right now.
Her advice is that I’d given the reader an early impression of how Zach sees Donna, but I had left out any impression of how Donna sees Zach.
Seems like a basic thing, but easily overlooked; good thing I have such a good first reader as my wife! Heck, she even warned me away from weight loss pills and toward a sensible weight-loss diet!
