Novel Editing - Finished 2nd pass
This editing isn’t as much fun as the rough draft writing was! It’s been going slowly…
I started off with the idea of putting post-its on a wall and moving them around, but they kept falling off! So then I copied all that info into a spread sheet instead and shuffled the scenes that way, to get a better flow, which worked OK.
After the above scene shuffling I only had one scene I didn’t want anymore (I might even redo that one) - so I decided the next step should be fixing spelling and grammar… and I’m still at it! I must have spent about 25 hours so far, and all I’ve got is a clean copy of the rough draft.
The good news is that I finished the spelling and grammar today, and shuffled the scenes in the document - so I’m ready to start writing the new scenes I identified in step 2 (of Started editing my novel)
More next week!
Cheers,
Andy.
