Finally, Edits are Complete!
Diligent work on this novel all 2023 has finally come to an end. END! Did I say that out loud? Yes. Yes, I did. After the major edit and the minor edits were addressed, I combed through the book (now 75,000 words in all, thank you) three times for minor things. Once in Word, once in ProWritingAid, and once listening to the computer read to me (in a British voice which I loved). It amazed me how many little things were missed with each pass. Each method has its strengths, but together, I’m hoping it’s perfect.
