the best advice I can give you is to throw the manuscript in a drawer (read: put it away somewhere, don't open the file, etc.,) and don't think about it, don't touch it, completely forget is exists for maybe a week or two. In the meantime, read pic rel, read all of it. When a week has passed and you're ready to read through the draft with fresh eyes, edit the shit out of your manuscript and write the second draft. Rinse and repeat until it's spotless
