I'm on my way

I'm officially halfway through Phase Two of editing my story. Yay! Phase One was me changing the point of view from first to third person, and now I'm going through the whole thing again, putting notes and pointing out my mistakes. Phase Three will involve me implementing the suggestions I make right now in Phase Two and then I'll be on to Phase Four: sending it to other people to have a look at.

Gulp.

Let's get metaphorical.

I have a few trusty people on hold (I'm looking at you, Sensei) but I've also been collecting business cards and making contacts with people I don't know that well. This was a strategic choice to make sure I have a good range of critics who aren't afraid to tell me how it is but who also have a passion for books and/or writing. Once they've had a look at a few chapters (some might even want the whole thing) then it's off to the industry I go!

But let's not get ahead of ourselves. I am still only halfway through my editing process, after all.
