I love your idea of viewing the re-reading of your first draft as a “treat”.

Thanks for your lesson learned: “listen to the truth of the story I’m telling, and not what’s going on in the world of books and publishing …” – it was definitely a lesson I needed to be reminded of today as I try to think about the marketing phase of my novel!

I enjoy the editing process too (though I’ve never worked on something as large as yours). Writing is fun, just letting the story flow. I try not to go back and edit myself before I’m done, or think I’m done, though sometimes that’s hard. You’re doing a great job keeping on top of your target too. Can’t wait to see the I”M FINISHED! post either

Such an interesting process! I wonder if editing will be any easier than writing? .-= rhapsodyinbooks´s last blog ..Review of “The Rapture” by Liz Jensen =-.

Well go for it. This first draft is where you get to let it all hang out. And then the editing process begins... .-= Nicole´s last blog ..Progress: Notes From a Reading Life ~ July 22 =-.

Editing is so much fun! I love wrestling with the manuscript, making sure that each sentence is doing its job. I'm at that stage now with my own work in progress, and it's been great. I'm having a wonderful time with it. .-= Memory´s last blog ..110. Kushiel's Mercy by Jacqueline Carey =-.
