Some alterations in the beginning will be tricky, but I think I can work them out with some tweaking and finessing. I have too much flashback in the opening that needs to be moved into the main meat of the story. Not impossible, but it'll definitely keep me busy over the next month or so. As I've mentioned before, I love looking at plots as if they were jigsaw puzzles. Sometimes the pieces need to be altered or moved to a different position to work just right.
Thanks for your input, Barbara!! And thanks again to everyone who gave me suggestions before she read it. Some of the aspects she liked best were the result of other readers' input.

GAH!!!! There. I said it, because I'm feeling your pain. Well, we talked about the possibility that she might wants those opening flashbacks rearranged, and now it's reality.
Good luck making the changes! I know you'll succeed, it's just going to be a whole lot of work. And think of it this way: going on submission during the holidays isn't the best time of year anyway.
I've started tackling the scenes today. This is going to be a challenge.
