And the editor says...

From correspondence with my editor:

"I will look for the 'eyes' issue. I have trained myself to be on the lookout for that sort of thing: a writer I worked with once called it 'the echo.' All writers do it, and often it is not noticeable to the reader, but sometimes it gets a little distracting. I did call you out on it in my first read of what I have so far."

Figures that Shawn would catch it before I noticed it myself. (Of course, he is amazing and awesome, so I shouldn't be surprised!)

Also, props to [livejournal.com profile] slwhitman for not letting me off easy in her response to my post. From everything I've heard, she, too, is an amazing and awesome editor--and I appreciate the free advice!
