It. is. over!
November is done and gone! Let the Christmas lights, trees and other mayhem begin! Also, let's begin that editing!
Last month I took you through a week by week walk through my NaNoWriMo journey. I am proud to say on day 16 I reached 50,000 words and on day 29 I finished the novel! Camelot Reborn is currently under the microscope of my editor and my VIP beta reader. I'm not expecting this part of the process to be over in one month like the first step was, but I am hoping it won't take too long.
The editing process is not only going to be long, but it will be painful as well. There is a reason most writers/authors don't edit their own works and that would be because we tend to ignore our mistakes. Our novels/short stories/poems are our pride and joy. Taking the backspace/delete button/eraser to them hurts far too much so we think our works of art are perfect while there's a little inner editor in the back of our minds going "Uh, no. This needs work."
So that's why we pay people to take the scissors and hack at our babies because we just can't bare to do it ourselves.
Well....in my case I hand it over to my aunt and she takes care of it for free. Oh the perks of having family members with editing skills!
My novel has over 77k words and 32 chapters plus a prologue right now. When it's all said and done, things will be cut, added and tweaked to make it the best story possible!
Question: Anyone else in the editing process? Are you writing anything new? Comment below!!
Note to those who follow Ronie Writer over on Character's Spot - She is coming out of hibernation! Expect a post from her tonight or tomorrow and thanks for your patients!
Until Next Time!
