my short story was read by 8 betas. quite a number, i guess.
-
i have spent half of my yesterday to revise the text.
i examined each and every note i had received from these 8 readers.
-
i changed where most of the readers had problems and changed where any of them seemed to have a major problme with that particular part.
-
generally speaking, i clarified the dialogues, and some of the descriptions, changed the position of certain information within the body of the whole text and left out some text that did not contribute to the overall flow of the story.
-
i think i am about the learn something more again about writing.
the best thing of course is that i had something to work on.
that is, i had written so that i was able to revise.
to put in the other way round: you have to write. period.

I love the title, “Apocalyptic Tourists”. Like you say, it’s great to have something finished so that you can revise it. Best of luck with the submission!
i'm glad you like the title.
it is a mere 4-page short story.
i keep my fingers crossed, too :)
