FIRST DRAFT IS OFFICIALLY DONE.
NOW COMES THE HARD PART….EDITING. I SUCK AT EDITING IN FACT I HATE IT. I’VE BEEN LOOKING AT PRICES FOR IT AND THEY ARE RIDICULOUS. I’LL EDIT LATER I GUESS. NOW I’M JUST GOING TO READ MY BOOK AND CHANGE OR ADD WHAT NEEDS CHANGING OR ADDING.
My humble (but professional) opinion: If you’ve only done one draft so far, it’s probably not ready for an editor. I’d do at least another draft to tighten things up and look for big story holes. I’m sure your writing is good, but everyone’s first draft needs another pass before an editor looks at it (and everyone needs an editor).
Just my two cents.
Agreed. I’m going to work on the second draft all this week until the long weekend of thanksgiving. There is still a lot I have to add and maybe change depending. Thanks for the input.
