Discovering the purpose of editing
As I was reading through chapter 7, something did not seem right. I continued on anyway, hoping it would come up later, but now I know that I have come across the first plot hole type error in my book (at least the first one I’ve noticed!). Those of you who have been following my …
Editing Chapters 5 & 6
In my limited time today, I went through some of my notes and edited a few things in other chapters. I realised that going through them before doing a reread of my book was going to be a difficult task though. I have not written down chapter overviews so, even though I know which scene …
Editing has begun! Again..
Today, when my daughter went down for her afternoon nap, I finally decided to open my WiP again and resumed editing. I started from the beginning again, which I have done a couple of times now, but it has been so long since I have worked on it that I thought it would be a …

Writing Update: Decisions
My previous update mentioned that I was getting close to finishing my first draft. I’ve managed to overcome the roadblock I hit for a bit, but my progress has still slowed since I need to put some more thought into the ending. Slowed, but not stopped! Definitely still getting there! I’ve also started thinking about …
Writing Update: So Close to the End!
