Revisions

I have yet to write the post I promised on how I edit. But the good news here is that instead of writing the post, I have actually been doing the editing. There's a ways to go. I have a terrible tendency to skip portions that need work simply because I'm not ready to tackle them. I'll get there though. Eventually.

At least now I've been through the entire story, which is indeed my first step in revising. I like to go through the entire novel looking at the story--how it flows, where the structure can be improved, things like that. It is terribly hard for me to ignore the words. I'm a born tweaker. Don't get me wrong. I do change some verbiage, but mostly I try to ignore the detail work until later. The first pass is for flow.

Okay, so this was not the post I plan to write, but at least something writing related on this lovely Thursday morning. I almost said spring, but is it spring yet? Technically, I don't think so. It is here in Arizona. Spring Training is in full swing and the weather is lovely. Oh, and the seasonal allergies hit...always a sign of spring in my book.

Write on!
