Editing, Editing, Editing

Edits for draft number 3 were finished today!

Probably three more drafts.
Then, a journey through the grammatical error-finding platform.
Then, a read-aloud via the computer-generated text-to-speech feature.
THEN, finally to beta readers.

I’m so excited about this story now! These two are intense!

Charli is fretting about William discovering her deep dark secret, and William has fallen in love the minute he saw Charli and fears he may have no lost her forever. Not to mention the legalities surrounding his car being found in the lake and the concerns about revealing who really put it there.

Recommended Reading…

Check out my Recommended Reading page. Lots of great information from experts in the field and in the business of writing.

The newest addition:

“Debunking the Myths of Developmental Editing” by Tiffany Yates Martin, a blog posted on the Writers in the Storm: a blog about writing. A blog awarded by Writer’s Digest as one of the 101 Best Websites for Writers. She starts with the myth of “You always need to hire a developmental editor,” and goes from there. A must-read for all writers, in my opinion.
