The mystery of revisions

You ever notice that no matter how many times you read through a manuscript, you still find things to change? I’m currently on the third go-through on this manuscript targeted toward Harlequin American. The first time through, I was slashing lots of suspense stuff (and cutting the page count in the process) and addressing other things in the editor’s revision letter. The second time through, I was reading for clarity and flow following all the big changes and tidying the copy editing. This time, I’m addressing suggestions made my faboo Mary to make the conflict and romance stronger. After I finish this round this week, I’m e-mailing this off to my agent so I don’t have to look at it anymore — at least for a little while.
