Well it was messy but I got some editing done last night. In a sense, this was the hardest bit to do. I had to rearrange some chapters and rewrite one from scratch. I killed a couple of scenes I worked hard on and I’m going to need to reinsert somewhere the worldbuilding stuff that got cut. Bleh. But that should be the last major surgery.
My plan now is to do a read-aloud final draft, fix any errors that come from that and then send the puppy out. I had hoped to get a bit more feedback from my beta readers (only one has gotten back to men time) but in the end, I have to trust my own instincts. Not to mention that I owe a couple of people novel critiques of my own. Oy. I need to find a way to do that soon. Maybe I can borrow a netbook and read the docs as I ride. Worth a try.
Tonight I get to start my third novel, as a reward for actually doing some frelling editing work, finally. I’m looking forward to it.
