The beginning of the editing process.
Article Entry Date: October 7,2019
Seven months have passed since I last wrote for the blog, and since I'm working on editing the new novel, I thought this would be the best time to bring everyone up to speed on what has been happening since March.
The job I have outside the house, and having my granddaughter with me every other week, has taken away time that I would have used to work on my book. I would not take a single moment away from the time I spend with my angel; however, I could do without the job.
My job is as a magazine vendor. It is not worth the money to do what I do for this company, and they will not give out raises. The only positive aspect is that the hours are great.
I am taking the week off from work to concentrate on my book. I want to accomplish as much as possible this week to get myself in a good place for editing. But if you are a writer, you know you also add and remove from the story when you edit.
Today is Monday, and I have just finished the first edit using Grammarly in the first chapter. Now, I will use the program ProWritingAid. Once I've run the chapter through, I can start Chapter Two.
I honestly do not see how the Harlequin authors can publish several books a year. I have my thoughts on it, but will keep them to myself.
Have a good one, and now, back to editing Chapter 1.
