Edit Mode

Still in edit mode for the sequel to First. I’ve shored up a couple of things and might delete a scene today. I like that particular scene, but I don’t think it does much in pushing the plot forward. I’ll reread and see if it’s as I fear. No worries, though, the book is coming in just over 75k words, which seems about right. The next thing I’m going to do is read it out of order. What does that mean? This book has two narrators who switch chapters. I’m going to read one narrator all the way through and then go back and do the same with the other, alternating chapters for each. That’ll give me the chance to view each as a continuous narrative and make sure I haven’t accidentally created gaps in their particular stories. Other than that, the editing is going well and hoping to be done by next week with the majority of it. Then it’ll be time to read the book aloud to myself as one of the final steps in getting it ready to publish. When will that be? Not sure yet, but you’ll be the first to know.
