Editing! Editing that NEVAR ENDS!



Editing that is is highly STRESSFUL because I have to decide between my work and the corrections made by someone who knows a million times more about the nitty gritty of writing than I do!

*flops onto floor* So! Spent like, 2 hours sorting through the editing of chapter two. I am now dead, and only 6 pages into 10, but hey, I'm having fun, and thinking properly about chapter 3 now. *squish sqiush* <- go the creative juices.

mimei - thank you again, I have been going insane, but so very grateful. Made a few stubbourn decisions, and a few complete changes to paragraphs to meld both of our thoughts on the way it should be. Other than that there's just been heaps of agreeing with you and deleting stuff.

I think I may go start work on chapter 3 now. I should go to bed, coz I've got to go to a baptisim early tomorrow, but I can't be assed.

Edit at 11:43pm - One page, one scene, 456 words later! Chapter 3 begun! hehehehehahaohohohohehah!




Oh, and I'm going to put up chapter 1 and the prologue soon. I was stalling coz I couldn't decide whether I wanted to friends lock, or what. But I think I'll just put them up openly, coz it's not as though I need to hide them(?), and they arent even rated high yet, so who cares.

::watch this space:: or something like that. :D

oooo Chapter Three-ness *bounce bounce*

editing is a very tricky thing. i spend A LOT of time editing...it's become a very natural thing for me. when i do it, i am very very cruel. you really HAVE to be cruel, but of course you should NEVER sacrifice your "individual voice". you have to attain a balance. but yeah, personally i edit things like woah. but i'm so used to it it doesn't seem like it. or something.

i think all it takes is the ability to be cruel to oneself and practice.
