I think it's partly the outsider POV, and partly Au!Kat
Yes, this, too, I guess. :D

although you're always having to tell me to slow down and show the readers things! Let them see those intimate moments, let them attend the feast rather than just hear it summarised by a character :D
Yes, because that's how I can live things more fully. ;P Descriptions are how books show us things. And attending events with the characters and witnessing the fun is more fun than hearing someone tell you how much fun it was. ;D

That's how the novel is getting much longer.
Awwwwww, yyyyyyiiiiisssss!)))))

But still in a dynamic way, without getting bogged down by wondering about every adverb or "thought/felt" phrase!
Honestly I don't understand what's wrong with adverbs or thinking/feeling things! Sure action is important but the way people perform an action is sometimes even more telling than the action itself! Like you can say something warmly or coldly or cheerfully or angrily or sadly or dreamily or whatever and the same words will have a COMPLETELY different meaning!
As to thinking/feeling - it's HUGE part in characters' motivation! How can anyone advise against it?
I just don't get it. At all. O_o

I think in editing it to someone else's standards I killed all the flow and spontaneity.
Suggestions and opinions can be helpful, yes, but at the end of the day (even if those opinions and suggestions come from me :D) you should always do what feels right for you.
