Blood
Draft 2: 216 out of 345 pages down. I have cut 10,262 words since I started.
Editing. Is. Driving. Me. Crazy.
I have sworn off writing anything new until I am done with this revision pass which includes incorporating Grammatically Correct Wife Unit’s editing suggestions. Why?
If I did not, I would never finish. It is not a painful process, more like jogging in the loose sand at the beach. A labor of love, if you will.
Except blogging of course, because I love my 7.3 readers!
Them’s a lot of cut words
Well done! My Grammatically Correct Husband Unit’s editing suggestions are invaluable to me!
Good luck with it. Great post!

As .3 of those readers, I am happy to say that you are my hero, as you are the first person I know (online or off) to finish such a long piece. Please, please, please send some of that special love my way!

Thank you Simonne!
Nicole: I am a prolific writer, that is certain.
Now if those words are readable, well, that is a different story all together!
