Work, work and ahh more work!

Each day I’m editing. As a quick updated I’m now pretty close to the middle of Balance and a little further behind on Impatience. Overall I’m actually pretty happy with the progress. In some of the more complicated sections a single page can take up to an hour to tweak. Of course in many other sections, specifically dialogue, I can burn through a page in maybe ten minutes.

It’s hard going and I’m struggling at present to find time to focus on blogging. I’ve heard plenty of podcasts and read on many blogs how editing is a tough grind. I certainly have to agree. It doesn’t come naturally to focus on corrections when, for so long now, I’ve been focused on the creative task of writing.

I could pay an editor to do the work however I’m simply too much of a control freak. I’m also processing all the feedback I’ve received from many proof readers. There’s no way an external editor could do this as well.

I have to do it, I have to push through and work both into the best they can be.

And my grammar thing is getting betterer but.

At least my humour is still there. Back to the grind
