After an ultra-marathon day of editing (6-8 hours in the chair) I finished the first round of structural and grammatical edits for my novel “The Survivors” just now. I actually don’t remember when it was I printed it out and made in-line comments by hand, but I think it was last summer. It has been very slow going, but I am so happy with how it turned out. Most importantly, I had stalled on editing the prologue and chapter 1 because they are so important to get right, but I rewrote both of those almost entirely, and they are much stronger now.
I have shared the whole manuscript with some beta readers (including a real-life professional editor and everything) and I am ready to turn my attention to short fiction for the next few weeks.
One step closer to realizing my dream.
