                    Characters need their own voice
                
                But make sure the editor remembers, without you, these characters would not have a voice at all.

                Like young cops - too much respect for the rulebook, without looking at the meaning of the content.

                Right, it would have challenged some editors not to make it over too much.  Young ones, stuck on The Rules.

                I had to take a lot of the Australian coloquialism from "Tom Ugly" so people could understand it but as you know I kept some ther to keep the authentic flavour...give my story some reality juice.

                And the story itself, as well.

                I will be fine, as long as the editor listens to me, and respects that it is my story.

                Exactly. It is essential that each character has one's own voice.

                    Sounds like you're a bit frustrated.  Count to ten...
