YES! That is what my face is doing as I edit.I have done everything else around the house to keep myself from editing. I was going to paint my fence but it's too warm for that nonsense. Now I have nothing to distract me, I have to EDIT! Big girl pants are on, editing here I come.
The first of my trilogy is done. I know! I can't believe it, it just kept coming and coming and now the characters first draft is done, so maybe they can leave me alone while I try and edit 'Darkness Reigns'.
Anyway just keeping you updated. βπ»

@TrixiePhilpot Have to say I'm not really into the punchier short sentences, I feel there is something missing, but I suppose a good mix of both will be the way to go.
In the process of editing and coming across the dreaded 'ly' words, amongst others, that need to be cut. I would probably be an overdescriber. Do readers nowadays prefer shorter, punchier sentences?
@Marilynsgotthis I keep getting easily distracted, for example typing comments on social media lol. My other characters from my other book are impatient and want me to continue their story too. But patience. Are you nearly ready to go or are you editing too?
@HJamesWrites I used to revise chapter by chapter, but I was getting nowhere fast. So now I wait until the end or during my typing it up stage (I use pen and paper first)
Ever had that heart stopping moment when water meets your laptop? I spilt water on mine.Thought it was done for. Waiting days to see if it would come back to life. Read more here: https://t.co/eYiauyOTIa #marilynpayne#darknessreigns#writerslife#writingcommunity
